Default drums to disks

I started a 94 dx hatchback project, and ive been thinkin i want to convert my rear brakes to discs.

what year integra do i need parts from?
is there a difference if its off a 2 door or 4 door?
is all i need just trailing arms, rotors, and calipers?

thanks

you need the rear disc brakes off of a 94-01 integra. the 99-00 civic si brakes may work but im not 100%. also, you need the trailing arm, rotors, calipers, and emergency brake cables all from the integra.

well i was gunna buy new cross drilled rotors, so pretty much matching rotors up isnt the issue. i was just wonding if there was more than the trailing arms, calipers, and an e brake cable, but that seems to be it. thanks guys.

If you're just doing the rears thats about it, but be aware the you wont really notice any improvement in braking. Swapping to larger integra front brakes + '91 EX master cylinder and integra 4040 prop valve will make a huge difference though.

This topic has been covered many times. Disc swaps are very common. The information is on this site. CHECK THE FAQ's!!!

94-01 Integra suspension will bolt to a 92-95 Civic. (Except ITR)

Even some steering components are the same.

Have you seen the FAQs since H-T moved to vbulletin a few days ago? Most of the topics are missing, its a complete mess.

iliv2xlr8:
yes, exactly. the faq's are not working. and if they were, the drum to disk conversion faq, whoever wrote, assumes you already have the stuff. im simply asking what parts will in fact fit.

94EG8:
the conversion is mostly for show purposes. were painting her yellow, removing the running boards, wiretuck a b18 swap, some white volk te37's, carbon hood, etc.



off topic- i cant quote stuff, why is that? ever since they updated. i see everyone else doing so, but its not showing me the option to...
