When putting all DA brake setup on the ef. Is there anything you would not use of the
integra, like the lower control arms the front and the back?

Or Since im taking all the parts of the integra should I just grab those too and throw those on my car.

And yeah I know ill need to get alignment done.

 

pretty much from what i have learned all u are really using is the trailing arms & the hub assemblies, rotors, caliperbrackets yada yada... still dont know about the e-brake cables though

 

use everything except the rear lower arm.. Some people say it's a little longer.. But if you going to use the DA sway bar, you have to use the da rear lower arms.
Don't forget the MC/BB/PPV while you could get for free...

 

Whats the BB?

What about the integra's front lower control arms?

Will I have problems if I use that? Should I just stick with
the DA parts?

 

Brake booster!

and i just used the front knuckles only no LCA and for the rear i used the trailing arm assembly w omni power EG LCA's

E brake cables should be ordered new from honda for a CRX Si or if there is any other CRX with rear disc brakes!! like 30 bucks each or something!

Good luck.... penetrating lube is ur friend!!!

 

Make sure you get bigger rims too if your car isn't an Si..I think that was the only model that had 14" rims..

 

Ive tried 14 on the integra wont work, it will fit but very snug, so it rubs.
But ive already got ls webs.

Anything else would be helpful right now, since I am going to leave really soon.

 

w/ 14'' rims, u will have to shave approximatly 1/8'' off of the caliper bracket i have been thinking about doing this myself later on in the career of my car

 

hmmm. This is new to me.. I thought all Integra disc swap has to be 14's+
Mine 14's fit perfect with 14's. Also 13's could fit into the rear of a Integra if I could remember right.

i have a 90 dx and i used the 94 integra rears for my swap.. still running the stock 13 inch steels... no problems. just have to bend the dust sheild a little.

 

yea, the rears re no problem... its the front... i heard if u have hx's w/ the front EX swap, u will have to shave the caliper bracket... not too bad though

That is where the problem is..

If you swap straight EX fronts or straight DA front.. 14's should fit without anything mods.

If you mix and match then you'll have to mod the front.

so lemme get this staright you can use any integra rear brakes on a crx, i've got an 88 Si, so could i use rear brakes off an integra trailing arms rotars calip and all??

bump for some info, will 94-01 rear GSR brakes fit on a crx?

Rear, yes.

 

Does anyone here know if theres a different prop valve that i could or should use after doing this swap? I hate where the stock CRX valve sits on the strut tower!!!

 

if you switch to 4 disc brakes then i belive you are suppose to get the 4040 prop valve. correct me if im wrong though

4040 off of which car? CRX Si, DA, DC, EG, all of the above? Does this mean i need new hard lines too?

 

one from a DA should fit perfect

 

Tons of post on this...search that way you dont have to wait for the response from some...

 

4040 prop valve from a DA non abs dont go to a junk yard and just ask for a DA prop valve cause then theyll grab you the wrong one an abs one that looks like an "H"

plus for the best way to avoid screwing up alignment/geometry in the rear is just to use the trailing arm off a DA, so dont use any DA arms. Remove your old trailing arm leaving the UCA, LCA, and the other arm in the front and bolt in the DA trailing arm.

dont use DA LCA it will mess up your camber, they are different in lenght and i know because my cousin tried using them and plus i have a pair of both.

the ebrake cables you can use but they are harder to install cause they are long and they dont bend that well. So for an easier install get some SI ebrake cables.

as for MC/BB...

15/16 is the best way to go and will give you full potential braking power.
the only thing is you cant just grab the MC off the DA because it wont fit on your stock brakebooster because they bolt on differently. So you have to take out the whole assembly MC/BB which is only 4 bolts under the dash and a cotter pin on the brake pedal. The 4 bolts are some what hard to get to youll need a swivel to get them. And if you have big hands or just big overall its going to be a pain. also take out the driver chair it will make things easier.

If you want a hard pedal and not a sensitive one use your stock BB...but youll have to grab a MC from a Civic EX which bolts right on to your stock booster and is 15/16

avoid 1inch MCs theyll lock up your fronts when braking hard

do some research

</TD></TR></TABLE>DA lca's are longer. I've compared both DA and EF sets side by side, and DA's are about 3/4" longer maybe more. And you can run the DA sway bar with the EF lca's...have it setup like this on my hatch. For the front's I've heard mixed results. Most people usually only use the spindles from DA's though.

 

bump....Im here for some info.....
91 civic ex front spindles and si rear on my crx.
