you take off the trailing arm then you replace it with the teg trailing arm. ebrake cable, you take off the stock cable and put on the integra cable. doesnt get much harder than that.

the only thing you gotta worry about is the compensator arm at the front of the trailing arm because where the compensator arm bolts onto the chassis is a alignment point so if you move it then you gotta get your alignement done


oh and how are the tailing arm bushings on teh integra trailing arm? cracked?

You don't need the master cylinder. It's nice to go to a bigger one, but not necessary. But you'll want it if you go to DA front brakes.

I highly recommend getting the Proportioning Valve.
CRX E-Brake Cables don't work on a hatch, You'll need the DA Teg ones. I found this out the hard way.

Keep the Civic Lower Control Arms, front compesator arm, and Upper Compensator arm. If you do, you shouldn't have alignment issues. But I can't quarenty that.

I haqve done this swap on a few cars, mine and and some friends. These are the things you learn. It's not hard, basically 5 bolts, E-Brake Cables, and Brake Lines and your good to go.
