Default REAR DISC CONVERSION

What is the best source vehicle to use for a rear disc conversion on my EF si? Will a 90 DA work?

That is what i used and it is fine. I got my trailing arms from a junk yard for 100 dollars and put all new rotors and calipers on. The bushings on the trailing arms weren't very good so i picked up some energy polyurethane ones. It is a great setup just make sure you get the right proportioning valve.

Thanks, guys. I actually already have a DA and an EF si. The EF is my daughters and the DA is currently not running due to a blown head gasket. I was going to build my DA up then came across a sweet deal on another EF si. So now the motor from my DA is going to go into my new EF (after I rebuild it).

you can also use the DA master cylinder and brake booster, i can verify that they fit. use your EF lines ofcoarse and the DA proportioning valve.

you dont need to swap the trailing arms from your integra, you only need the spindle portion outward, they are interchangeable with any of the EF trailing arms which ive done also. just be prepared for your ebrake cables to be very long if you use integra.

So what e-brake cables would be the best? I got the rear set up from a DA and am sure of almost every part to use, except the e-brake lines...

YOU can't use CRX on your civic as they are too short. Use integra. Make sure you get the trailing arms in good condition as when I got mine, I ended up replacing all the little bits from the dealer and it adds up... HTH
