As long as you have the rear trailing arm with all the stuff attached then it will bolt right up and that is all you need.

The integra arm sticks out 1/4" more than the stock trailing arm. If you're lowered, you might have issues with rubbing. Or you can swap out the entire brake setup and mount it onto your stock civic trailing arm, it bolts right up.

When installing the trailing arm, there is an adjustment bracket on the front of the TA. Don't touch it. Although you <U>should</U> always get your **** aligned after any suspension work, if your short on cash this will save your tires from going to hell in a matter of weeks. Just unbolt the TA from that adjustment bracket and go from there, don't unbolt the bracket.

When I swapped out my stock TA for the integra one, I went ahead and had the wheel bearings replaced in them as well. It easier to do while it off the car anyways.

Make sure the pads have enough left on them before you put everything back together. Don't forget to bleed the brakes after all is said and done.

That's all I can think of.

Agreed, it is quicker and easier to just swap the entire trailing arm with the disc already intact. I have not heard about the integra setup sticking out farther than the civic but I have seen it done enough to believe it won't be a problem. Just get the E-brake cables for the disc brakes and everything else will botl right up.
