If that is the E-Brake line you need to use the one from another SI I believe. The Integra cable is the right length though for the hatch and the sedan.

For a CRX you will need the Emergency Brake Cable from a CRX SI equipped with rear discs.

i use all integra parts including brake lines and ebrake cable in my 91 hf. im also using DA front knuckles and Ingalls camber kit to compensate.

E-brake cable
I called the dealer and they said it's about $60 a piece.

I used new 91 Si cables on my 89 Rex with DA disk conversion, fit perfect. Getting new cables is not a bad thing.

the hatch is longer by like 4 inches. if theres room to make a loop or something underneath, the line will fit.

so if i had DA brakes on a 90 SI, would the DA ebrake cables be the right size to make it back there and function properly?

It will function properly, you just will have to be creative with the routing to take out to extra four inches of slack.

I'm using the DA e-brake lines in my CRX and I just swapped the cables around when routing it to the inside of the car. In other words the inlet for the passenger side cable has the driverside cable running through it, and vice versa. It'll tie up abotu another 2-3 inches which is perfect.
