Default 91 EF9 trailing arms etc on a 2000 EK Hatch, need info

So I know the EF9 siR rear trailing arms will bolt up to my 2000 EK Hatch.
What I don't know however:

1. Is it possible to put my spindles (is that the name? the parts the wheels bolt to) into the 91 trailing arms? I would like to do this, so I can retain ABS.
2. Will the OEM MBC be big enough for the rear disc brake conversion?
3. Are the DC2 Trailing arm bushings the same size as the Civic ones? if so, I'll put in those, as their a bit stiffer (and I don't want ES again, my CRX owned my kidneys big time)

So hybrid rear suspension: 1991 EF9 rear trailing arms + disc brakes onto 2000 EK3 using DC2 trilaing arm bushings and 2000 EK3 spindles...

thanks

the DC bushings arent the same size, the MBC should be changed. make sure you get the prop valve too
