what e-brake cables do you need to put rear disc brakes on an 89 hatch? are the crx si cables too short?

 

I guess you could use Integra cables.

 

I got some ebrake cables off a 90-93 teg for someone once for a rear disc swap on there CRX so i assume that they work

 

thanks. well i pulled the hatchbacks trailing arm off to compare and the cable from the civic is about 5-6in longer. i guess ill just have to try to reroute them til i get new cables. guess to anyone thinking about this swap. get the trailing arms with brakes and CABLES from a longer car or be prepared to get longer cables. sucks cuz the cables are the hardest part of the swap. thanks for the help. if anyone has anymore insight please post.

 

tight we have the same problem, i got integra rear disc brakes on my rex but ebrake dosnt work

 

i have the rear disc brake swap from a da also. the integra cables didnt work. the 91 crx si are the ones to use to my knowledge

 

well tried to just get the ebrake cable to reach the handle and came up short. even with out bolting in the tabs. well from the guys above. those DA cables arent working either. do we need 4 door 'teg cables, or any from a civic ex/si??? besides the cables the swap is pretty damn easy. lol now im have a problem with take the prop. valve off cuz the damn nuts dont wanna turn. i need to get a flared nut wrench. its be a bitch to have to make new brake lines and flare them. anyone know if the master cyl. is different from the crx si and civic dx?

 

I have swapped the entire DA brake system in 3 or 4 times and it always works for me. You have to put the entire rear trailing arms and hub in the EF from the DA. Then the e-brake cables from the DA line up perfectly. And hell my 89 hatch will do a brake slide on the DA e-brake!

 

so DA cables it is for the ef?

 

Teg cables are a bit long and crx ones are too short you just have to reroute the teg ones to take up the slack and they work fine.

 

cool thanks
