Are Hatchback & Sedan Emergency brake cables the same length?
I just swapped out the trailing arm to fix some damage to my hatch. I used parts from a civic 4dr sedan. Everything bolted up but the emergency brake cable SEEMS to be alot longer.
Is the emergency brake cable longer or is it cause it needs adjusting?

i am not sure about 4 doors (as i have never had one) but i have ek rear drums in my eg hatch.
the brake cables are a good 2 inches longer. i just rerouted them to account for the extra length. sounds like you can do the same, rather then buying new cables.
wheelbase in inches:
eg hatch 101"
eg 4dr 103"
all ek 103"

i ran all last season with them, no problems. only 2 inches longer. i routed them above the tank and back down. really no big deal.
