ok i just swapped in a 95 GSR rear brake swap in my 97 hatch the brakes seem to be working fine but im having issues with the emergency brake. the passenger side seems fine but the drives appears to be too short. should they just bolt right in or am i going to have to use my old ebrake cables. the gsr cable wont even go as far as the clamp that bolts down on them to hold them in place.

I had to eliminate the center mounting bracket to get mine to reach. Use only the bracket on the trailing arm and the one where it makes the turn into the "tunnel" to hold it in place.

couldnt tell you bro...i swapped my front and rears from a 99-00 SI onto my 97 hatch. I used the SI e-brake lines...everything fit and bolted right up...

would it make a difference if i pulled the cables off of my old drum brakes and put them on would they be longer ?

No because the the piece that mounts the e-brake cable to the caliper are different from drum to disc, you'll see.

You can't re-use the drum e-brake cables like ^ said. You will have to unbolt some of the securing brackets, I had the same problem with my rear disc swap.
