Default Civic/Del Sol rear disk brake conversion help

Ok heres the situation....I have what I believe is a passenger side del sol disk rear trailing arm.So I decided to do a rear disk brake conversion on my 93 civic sedan.So heres my questions:

1.Will 4 door disk brake civic e-brake cables work on del sol trailing arms?If so through what years?

2.I believe the trailing arm is from a del sol because the lower control arm on it is twisted(like del sol ones are) instead of straight like civic and integra control arms...is this a good way to determine if its a del sol trailing arm?

3.Are there any other parts I need or anything I need to know before doing this conversion?

4.Will rear lower control arms from a del sol work on a civic?

5.just to confirm,its 93-97 del sol disk trailing arms that bolt on to 92-95 Civics right?

I'm buying the del sol trailing arm and e-brake cables tomorrow so I don't want to buy parts that wont work.Any advice greatly appreciated!

1. Yes, the 4 door e-brake cables will work on the del sol trailing arms. They will bolt onto the caliper with no problem.

2. Doesn't matter what LCA it has on it now, just use your current LCAs on the trailing arms.

3. Depends on what the parts you are getting are included. But a flare nut wrench is handy for the brake lines.

4. They might bolt up but I would not recommend you using them. You are better off with your stock LCAs or 94-01 Integra LCAs.

5. Yes the arms will bolt up.

4. Yes they will bolt up and work fine. I have been using a set on my civic for quite a while.

Thank you both very much now I'm ready for the installation....right after I replace the trailing arms bushings.



One more question,what del sol models came stock with rear disk brakes?



I need to know so I can tell the people at the auto parts store when I go to buy the caliper kits,bushings,etc.
