Re: EF Sedan Brake Conversion Questions
DA chassis 1990-1993 integra has many interchangeable parts with the EF civic. Not all parts, but i do believe the trailing arms will fit as well as sway bars, wheel hubs, and control arms.
DC integra transfers to EG civic

Re: EF Sedan Brake Conversion Questions
The front spindle is too long and will create positive camber. If you lower the vehicle it will be better but the upper control arm will hit the bottom of the shock tower.
The rear can be swapped in except the front toe arm (different length) and sway bar (DA and EF Si are the only ones to fit using factory hardware). A cheater method if you don't want to rip the whole rear suspension out is as follows:
Go to the backside of the trailing arm. Look through the back passages. There's a big nut and a bunch of Torx screws. Unbolt those. Then swap that unit over to your trailing arm on your car after you do the same thing to the drum spindle that is on your car. It will likely require a bit of heat to get the screws to spin but it's the easiest way to swap discs without pulling the whole trailing arm.
DA parking brake cables are the correct length. I'm not certain on the EG/DC ones. They may work if you cross them in the tunnel to suck up some of the length.

I used DA knuckles, with 96 GSR front calipers, rotors, and pads for my CRX with no issues. For the rears, I used CRX Si rear disc brakes with the Si e-brake cables.

Re: EF Sedan Brake Conversion Questions
If you want the biggest plug & play front brake setup possible, you can install DA integra knuckles with rotors from a Mini Cooper, integra type R calipers, and pads from Acura TSX. Real deal. There’s a couple detailed write ups w/ pics on HTech showing this.
