Default A headache shock install....

This afternoon I decided to install some new Tokico HP (blue) shocks w/ eBay coilovers on my del Sol. The front went pretty smooth without any issues....until I started working on the rear units. Like usual the bolts holding the rear shocks break off at the head on both L & R side. What made it worst was one of the bolts that holds the drum assembly breaks off also. To make the long story short, I replaced the rear passenger trailer arm with a '93 Civic coupe. I realized that the e-brake cable was a bit tad longer and did not have the same end (near the hand e-brake). Now, when the e-brake is engaged, the rear passenger tire doesn't lock like it should. Could it be that I need to swap out the cable back to the del Sol unit? I'm freaking tired as a **** and I really don't want to mess with it until the weekend. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
