Default rear disc brake conversion

I know you need the whole rear spindle and the ebrake cable from a 90-91 CRX Si. But what else would you need for the rear disc swap?

this article is for a EG, but its basically the same ****. http://hybrid.honda-perf.org/tech/brakeswap.html of course you'll need the 90-91 crx ebrake cable instead. and proportioning valve. and maybe a DA mc would be it. from what i hear get the whole trailing arm. much easier then keeping the same trailing arm.

btw, anyone know which cable to use when doing rear disc on a EF civic hb? crx too short. DA too long. i guess i should ask when i decide to put it on.

I'm sure for your civic HB, you can use the DA cable. You just have to route it creatively.
Here's another good site for for the brake conversion

Your better off getting the whole trailing arm assembly from a local junkyard

Are there any problems <camber, offset> associated with using the ENTIRE DA rear control arm and brake assemblies on an EF? I used them and my backspacing seems to have been jacked

BTW, I used the DA e-brake cables on my hatch and routed like stock, they were EXACTLY the right length. No extra, no problems. One of the easiest, but time consuming, thinks I've ever done on my car...
