I know that the hub is different that's obvious. (disk/drum) What I'm wondering is if I take everything off of the EF trailing arm, including the hub. Is the trailing arm itself the same as a DA.

yeah, effectively it is. in order to do the RTA swap, you need to use the EF "toe arms" and not the DA's. The ebrake cable from the EF is the one you want to use too, the DA one won't work.

Tyson

not the same but you can use them.

What's wrong with the DA e-brake cables? I used them and I didn't have any problems.

In truth I've already done the left side with a DA trailing arm for the disk conversion. Upon working on the right side I discovered the trailing arm I have from the DA is damaged, where the LCA bolts up. I did notice some minor differences in the trailing arms, small holes that don't get used.

Obviously measuring both trailing arms from specific points would show whether the mounting points are the same. I was just hoping someone had already done this.

I think the easiest route for me to go is to repair the DA arm. The guy I bought it from assures me that the damage is only limited to the LCA bolt area.

Thanks for everyone's help

i had pressed in new bushings.

DA ones are diffrent to EF civic

DA is larger inside. EF is a smaller dog bone like thing. I purchased EF civic rear bushings for the arms and when i got them it was diffrent Realised it wasfor a DA. I got it all worked out and breaks on but i need to get the pedal strait with either a booster/master cylinder

so im confused are people talking about doing rear disc conversion because thats what i wanna do but im not sure if it bults up i just picked up a set from 90 DA with every little bolt... any help is good thanks

Tyson

it bolts up, but its not the same as a crx trailing arm.

if you are going to replace the trailing arm bushing, then get a teg replacement. or do what wes did. RIP
