need help with rear brake swap!!!!
ok i know there are a bunch of threads already on this stuff but ive looked and if its there i either passed over it or found a contradicting thread(lol).
1st. im not sure what my brake swap came off of? how can i tell. its complete trailing arm assembly, rotors,hub and calipers. everything i need! also has e/brake cables and cut abs on 1 of the 2. on the other, there is nothing.
2nd. will the e/brake cables work fine with the swap or should i get ones from a 99/00 si to be compleletly sound.
3rd. will i be able to use ek lca's or do i need to get different ones say, for an integra.
i really appreciate this help! thanks

as long as it didn't come from a 4 door it doesn't reall matter where the brakes came from. the 4 door rear set up are little lnger than the rest, try measuring the lenth before swapping out.
you can continue to use your LCA. 96-00 civic's have longer LCA on the rear, so using one from an integra or 92-95 civic is not feasible.
as for you e-brake cable, i would just replace both of them 00 civic si would work fine. you don't have abs so don't worry about it.

I just did this swap not to long ago. I have da parts put on a ek. Everything worked out fine and I also used the 99-00 si e/brake cables, all is well and stops real good. Make sure you check you TA bushing for dry rot or cracking...there are replacement pieces for them through honda and energy sus....good luck
