Default DC2 - Civic Suspension Question

I have a GSR that was wrecked and I plan on swapping it into an EG hatch. I know I need to replace the rear LCAs in order to use the GSR shocks/swaybar but do I need to replace the UCAs and the trailing arms as well in order to use the GSR rear brakes?

TIA!

ya, you will need those in order to do rear discs. I don't believe the rear discs will work with the stock civic ones, but GS-R's you should have no problem with the install

It's easier and quicker if you use the entire assembly. No point in taking things apart when they are virtually the same thing..

I have to take it apart though. Here is why - I had a GSR. It hit a tree and bent All 4 of my control arms and both of my trailing arms but the brakes/hubs are fine. I don't want to buy an entire brake swap because I don't need it. I was just curious if I needed to replace the trailing arms in order to run the GSR brakes I already have. I know I need to change the LCAs to run the GSR shocks etc.


Are the UCAs the same between a DC2 and an EG?
