Rear brake swap
Alright I read the FAQ on parts. I saw a lot of Del Sols at the wrecking yard but wanted to go the cheapest on parts even if it takes a lot of work. Did I read correctly that all I need is the spindle with every thing on it? Did it also say that that the Sol's parking cable work too? Could someone please confirm and/or list what I would need from the Del Sol for the brake swap on a 99 CX.

You can swap the spindles, but those four bolts are pretty hard to deal with. They are T-50 bolts, and if you're pulling them off a Sol, they're not going to want to break loose easily. I was going to use air tools on them, but I was scared they would strip so I just left them alone. Just get the full trailing arms, and e brake cables. See if they'll also let you get the brake lines as well instead of cutting them since they're attatched. As far as the e brake cables working, just try them. Rotors and new pads shouldnt cost that much, maybe ~50-60 bucks..
I paid 150 for my rear disks trailing arms with brake lines, 20 for the ebrake cables, 35 for rotors, 25 for new pads.. That should give you a general idea of how much you're looking at spending.

any of the honda stuff works. integrs, desol or ex. take the cables you need them but not the handel it interchanges. it's best if you get the whole assembly makes the swap easyer.
