Default disc brake swap

there is a 91 crx si in local junkyard that i plan on getting trailing arms from. i know i have to remove the e brake lines for the swap. My only question is will the brake lines from my 88 crx fit up to the calipers on the 91 si brakes?

I don't believe so, and my reason behind this is when you buy brake lines for a CRX the part # is diff for the SI because it has back disc brakes. So get the lines when you pull everything. To bad your not close to me I am selling some or $80.00. Both sides with rotors.

you definatly need the brake lines from the si. The drum brake lines wont work. I just did this same conversion last week.

You just need the rubber hose there is like a e clip holding from moving then you need a wrench to take it off.

You need what ever brake lines were with the disc brakes so either need CRX Si 90-91 lines or 90-93 Integra lines. There is also a metal clip that holds the rubber line to a solid mounting point on the car, pop that clip and the rubber line will be free.
