you can use 90-93 integra rear disc or 90-91 crx si rear disc... it basicaly bolts on... you will need a new perportioning valve and its a good idea to buy a 90-93 integra brake booster and master cylinder.

Your best bet would be to find a 90-91 CRX Si at a junk yard. Pull everything off the rear. You will have to have the trailing arm and e-brake cable. If you want to add the rear sway bar you will need that as well as the lower control arms. You can then pull the proportioning valve as well. I personally went with the 90-91 EX master cylinder. It is 15/16 and bolts right up to your current booster. That would be a lot easier than trying to change out the booster and master cylinder. But 89 EF is right the 90-93 teg stuff will work just as well. It will probably come down to what you can find at the local bone yard.

Here is a how-to page I made that outlines the swap...Go to the how-to section http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/House/3020/

Sorry my link is not working but you need
90-93 trailing arms from integra
E-brake cable from the donar integra
Make sure the trailing arms come with the calipers and rotors attached
You do not need the upper or lower control arms

Do you need the proportioning valve, or can you use the existing setup? So let me get this straight, rear trailing arms with the caliper/rotor/hub attached, I can use my existing control arms, and everything else. (Plus the e-brake setup)That sounds too easy. If so, I think iI just may.

You can use the existing proportioning valve and control arms. The only things that are different in the swap would be the length of the e-brake cables
90-93 Teg = Civic HB (e-brake length)
89-91 Crx = shorter e-brake cable
Just remember too that the rotor size for the Teg is 9" while the rotor size for the 91 CRX si is only 7"
So depending on which way you go CRX or Teg the swap is pretty easy...

One more thing just occured to me. After you complete the swap have your car aligned. Other than that it is pretty simple. By the way, you don't have to change the pv but if you get everything else you may as well get that.
