Default 88 CRX SI rear disc brakes SPECIFIC help please.

So I have an 88 CRX SI and I've looked in the archives a bit for some information on the topic, but I'm still a little unsure.

So here's what I got. I've got 4 omnipower coilvers with ITR LCA's and rear drums, so what I'm wanting to do is swap out the rear drums for DA brakes. So from what I'm hearing is that I shouldn't have to switch the UCA or LCA's but I'm going to need to switch out the trailing arm?

Please give me ALL the info you have on if the suspension is going to be a problem or if the struts will have to changed! Please help me asap because I want to get all this done by the end of the week! Thank you

Blaine.

I recently installed DA rear disc on my 88 HF and you still can use your stock UCA and LCA's and it all bolts up just fine. Pretty easy swap to do. Just took a few hours....

The only arm you need to swap is the trailing arm. You don't need to touch your stock upper control, lower control, and compensator arms.

If you don't want to swap the entire trailing arm (i.e. if the bushing on the new one is bad and yours is still good), you can just swap the disc hub assemblies onto your stock trailing arms. The hubs are held on by Torx bolts.
