Default rear disk swap question

i bought a ef civic hatch (equipped with b16) for parts for my ef sedan. the hatch had the rear disk swap on it and i wanna put it on to my sedan. my question is does anyone know if the brake cables from the hatch fit the sedan? are they the same length? shorter? longer?

as far as what you are swaping from crx to crx you shouldn't need anything, should just be a direct swap. only thing that i can think might be different would be the shocks

everthing is the same except for the ebrake cables. you cant use the ones from the drums. and the hatch ones are to short. a friend of mine had this problem, i believe he used cables from a 90-93 4-door tegy. i think. maybe i should have called and asked befor i posted this...ohwell

integra ebrake cables are longer than crx ebrake cables (cuz the car is longer, duh).

since both of your cars are CRX's, just swap over the trailing arms w/ athe brakes and use the 1990 crx si ebrake cables.

if you had a civic (hatch, sedan, wagon), you would need integra cables, but you dont, so go have fun.

try the hatch cables, worse case they dont work. not like you NEED a parking brake 100% of the time, just turn it off and leave it in gear.
