DA rear disc brake will work but their cable might be too long.

Years don't matter, and cables are specific in relation to the chassis you are using.

You can use the GSR brakes.

Use your stock toe adjustment rod.
Use DA Integra e-brake cables for 88-91 Hatch's

You can use the same DC cables, but they are a little bit longer. You will just have to find space to tuck them away somewhere. I am using the full front and rear suspension from a 94-01 Integra

And you can align your car properly?

I thought neither the front nor rear spindles / trailing arms would work right?

I had a camber kit installed on the front and the rear did not need anything done to it. Took it to get an alignment and they took care of everything... I am using the rear trailing arm with the crx lower control arm. No problems..

Holy ****. I kept getting mixed responses on that back in the day, I had a great deal on GSR discs a couple years back. Dammit.

Time to keep looking again. I need bigger brakes, and I'm tired as **** of drums.

Rears work fine, they are the same trailing arm.

Fronts are the problem, although some people have made the 92-00 style knuckles fit, doing God knows what, your best bet is going with the 90-93 Integra knuckles for your 88-91 Civic/CRX.

Thanks Vap. I'll try to find a set of those with better bushings then, kid wanted $100 for some that were shot.

Time to go junkyard hunting in 20 degree ice. Woo hoo.

I was under the impression only the DA rear arms would work before, although I'm not sure why. I'm happy with the front, I just like the ease of upkeep on pads.
