The swap has been covered many times in other threads, just run a search.

In my experience, not worth the time and money, nothing will be gained except weight.

this is correct, but if you are dead set on it, you need the complete front spindles from a ex/da, and complete trailing arms from a da, dc, eg . you will need to buy new rubber or ss brake lines if they are not included and you will probably wan to buy new pads/rotors as well

yeah, I went for a ride in my friend's crx last night with the disc conversion, and it was okay but I told him I probably wouldn't spend the money on it.

But if you can find them used, they are worth the money, for me $80 also a little more weight in the rear is ok compared to the front for this car. It is actually quite a difference on my DX but i also upgraded the prop valve, BB, and MC...that all cost me about 50...so in all it was 130 well spent on my part, but still most of the braking power is up front, and brembo blanks with a little better pads will do a lot...i just installed mine gl and make sure to search

I would agree that adding the upgraded the prop valve, BB, and MC made a difference, but it not from the rear disk part of it.
In car reviews written when the 1990 CRX Si came out, it actually took 3 feet further to stop from 60 mph. I was old enough to drive when EF's were new on the lot, and i still have the original write ups on them.
