Default swapping over integra brakes to ek hatch couple of questions

ok i have searhced but i dont see the answer to my questions..

lets say i have a integra with 5 lug integra brakes..and a ek hatch next to it with gsr brakes.. i need to swap the 5 lug onto the ek hatch and the gsr brakes onto the integra...

i was thinking for the fronts just removing the 5 lug spindle leaving the upper and lower control arms on teh integra ... then on the civic do the same thing just swapping sindles but leaving the upper and lower control arms...


now for the rear just swap trailing arms and hubs but leave the rear LCAs on each car...meaning i leave the integra LCA on teh integra and same for the civic leave its LCAs on there as well...

does that sound ok? or is there anythign im mising?

Thats all you need to do. You cant swap (front or rear) lower control arm anyways they wont work.

one last thing.. theres one piece im not sure of.. the piece that is on top of the trailing arm that controls camber.. has 2 bolts that thread into the chassis... do i leave those on the car or leave them atached to the trailing arms and swap over to new car?

That's the upper control arm. You should just leave the Upper control arms, Lower control arms, shocks, and compensator arms (small arms at the nose of the trailing arms) all attached to the chassis. Then you only have to position the Trailing arms (*super easy*)...

They will work. I have them in my car. One of the hangers won't line up but it doesn't affect anything.
