Default Rear disc conversion.

Do I need anything other than:
Rear strut assemblies, *rear hubs and bearing assembly , * rear brake calipers, *and rear rotors.

Will these work if they're from a 96 integra, I've heard they will work, but need confirmation.
I'm thinking of grabbing these from a guy who's parting out a 96 integra.


TIA.

I have no idea what car you're putting this conversion on, however you'll need the parking brake cables as well. And rear caliper brackets (for those that won't include those as calipers).

You don't need the rear strut assemblies. If you're going to part-out the Integra, just take the rear trailing arms with the caliper and brackets and parking brake cables. You can swap the rear trailing arms out (plug and play) with your car.

Thanks for the input guys!

Its not needed, if they are packaging it that means they are trying to move ****, doesn't sound legit.

$100 per side, but willing to negotiate if I buy both sides.
Was going to offer $150 CAD. You think its fair?

Yep, that is reasonable. Especially if you're in Eastern Canada where a lot of those bolts will be seized already so it saves you the labour.

Also, the Integra LCAs will have the provision for the lower subframe bar, whatever the heck it's called again ... name is escaping me.

Luckily I'm on the west coast so seized bolts are much of an issue, the issue is people tend to inflate prices of everything over here...


Thanks again for all the input guys!

I won't go a dollar over $150! Make sure you get the rear trailing arms, calipers/brackets, rotors, brake lines and parking brake cables. That is all that is needed to do the conversion. If it comes with the rear strut assembly, great, but it's not needed so don't pay extra for them.

Anti-sway bar. If you'd like to add an anti-sway bar in the future you can use the stock Integra lower control arms (LCA) or you can buy aftermarket LCAs.

They're not necessary for the conversion, but since you'll have the trailing arms off, it's easy to swap the LCAs and add an anti-sway bar on later.



Here's the link to my rear disc conversion thread. Not so much a How To, but it'll give you an idea of what can be done.

Got mine for 125 for both sides. No struts, just the trailing arm and e-brake cable (which you must get with the trailing arm).

Note that a trailing arm is $22 per side at the Surrey Pick n Pull if you want to DIY it. However, they might nickel and dime you for all the other stuff on it too (calipers, cables, etc.). Up to you, and they probably have a **** ton of Integras (check their stock online).
