Rear discs off of a 90'-91' Crx Si or DA integra will bolt directly on trailing arms and all. Check your local junkyards.

It isnt really that hard to do. I got mine off a 90 integra. Took me 45 minutes to pull the trailing arms and parking brake cables.

Yeah, easy swap and makes a world of difference. Try and get the integra or Si proportioning valve also this will help distribute more of the braking power to the rear.

Yeah, i forgot about that. Your car has the 40/30 prop valve. The integra/crx si have the 40/40 prop valve. You might wanna swap that also to increase your rear stopping power.

Easy. Just get the trailing arms from 90-93 teg or 90-91 CRX Si. I have pics from my swap if you need.

Hold on, so the proportioning valves from the CRX w/rear-discs and the DA w/rear-discs are different?

use lots of PB blaster. Spray allt he bolts and let them sit before you even think about cracking them loose.

Yes. they work the same. but the difference is due to the larger calipers in the front of the DA's

crx w/ rear drums = 40/30
crx w/ rear discs = 40/20
teg = 40/40

I got a rear trailing arm assy from a 93 GSR. E-brake cables were intact and so were the rubber brake lines. Bolted up perfectly, set me back $116 plus shipping.

I got lucky on price however.

I also put SiR front knuckles hubs and brakes, with the SiR porportioning valve.

Paypal or money orders are fine. Give me a morning to pull them off and get them ready to ship. These are off a 91 Integra LS and you will get everything even the bolts if they all will come out.

how would you do a rear disc break conversion for a 89 crx si? could i just bolt on the rear breaks from a 90 or 91 crx si or can i use the rear breaks from a integra?
