you might be able to take it off of a integra 94 and up. but the 96 model and up the rear trailing arms look bigger and longer so i dont know. get your **** atthe junk yard.i changed mine i got a 93 civic ex
i got the discs off of a 95 civic ex when u get the parts make sure they give you the bracket for the strut bar.also in the integra the screw that holds that holds the brackets threads right into the integra but it wont on the civic the civic has the holes but not the threads so u just got 2 use a nuts behind it. also most likey the discs will come with the abs wires u dont need that **** just cut them. it wont affect anything. and instead of changing the whole rear chassis. you can just take off the drum look behind the drum there a star shape key u need to take it off right in the middle and like 5 screws as well ..

if u need more help just hit me up aol cholojr19 or yahoo cholojr192000@yahoo.com

teg or civic will work, youll need ebrake cabels too, and a bigger booster, mst cly is recommended

Is that the only this i can get them from b/c its kinda hard for me to find some si brakes b/c i was gonna get them used. SO the 95 ex civics have disc brakes in the back? If so y not on mine is newer? WIll these fit mine?

what type of ebrake cables would i need for a 00 ek if i got 95 teg rear brake assembly?

racecarpete

you can use the teg cables just you will not bolt up one bracket cause they are slightly shorter or if you want you can go buy 99-00 SI cables from the dealer.

This information is for the 5gen rear disc swap, but still has sufficient information on the actual parts necessary to do the install on the EX.

Welcome to Honda-Tech, there are a quite a few other Jacksonville people on the site, look around and I am sure you will find a few, myself included.

your best bet would be 99/00 Si or GSR brakes~ if you just want the rears.. i suggest you just get the AEM rear disc brake conversion kit~ its not THAT much~

I swapped the rear drums on my hx with the complete trailing arms from a 99 gsr. you can get the parts from http://www.sohfast.com in the civic section shipped for 390. you will still use your origional lower controll arms. you can remove the abs stuff from the assembly simply by removing a couple bolts, then the whole thing comes off. as stated earlier the passenger side ebrake cable is slightly shorter so you simply remove the braket from the cable and zip tie it away. I have install pics here. http://repo.jackmoves.com/view_album...umName=album55
hope it helps.
