Default CRX SI trailing arms on EK hatch

just picked up a 90 crx si, and im wondering if the trailing arms will fit on my 98 hatch cause i'd like disc brakes on the hatch. anyone know if they'll bolt up? lemme know!

Yes, they will. I would suggest buying new trailing arm bushings if you're going to use the TAs. Otherwise, just unbolt the hub assembles from the TAs and swap them.

yes they will. just use the 98 hatch control arms. the ebrake cables will not work from the crx, get 94+ teg or 96+ civic rear disk cables (99-00 si only?)

all trailing arms (minus brake setup) are the same since 88+ for civics and 90+ for tegs.

ohhh wait a minute.. just using the hubs assemblies works too? i looked over that in your post. that'll save me from painting them and getting new bushings. nice.

While we're on topic here, has anybody used the 90-91 integra brake set-up on an ED9(89CRXsi)? I've got a pair of burnt teg trailing arms with the entire rear setup minus the e-brake cables. I think I can use the 90-91 CRX si cables but I'm not sure. I'll be rebuilding the calipers or just getting new ones and replacing all bushings with new ones. Is there anything else anybody can think of? I'm not switching the arms, just the brake assembly(drum to disk). Maybe, since those hubs are burnt, I should get new ones... hmm, new wheel bearings... I guess I'll just be using the bracketry... Sorry just kind of thinking out loud. lol
