you can use any 90-01 integra rear disks. gsr, ls, or whatever, they are all the same size excluding ITR. 90-91 crx si rear disks or also 99-00 si rear disks. you will need pretty much the entire rear trailing arm assembly and 90-91 crx si ebrake cables.

hey your makin a big mistake if your lookin for a less stoping distance.. drum brakes that are rebuilt will work better than 9 inch rotors w 2 inch pads lol. if you look your drum brakes probably havent been touched since it was bought 200,000 miles ago. trust me i have two sets in my garage any i still wont put them on.. rear brakes are only 30% change ur shoes drums and pistons and feel the difference.. i will stop quicker than all those with heavy *** disc upgrades

its just for looks man there not built for our car

I used 94 DC teg rear brakes and trailing arms, 100% bolt in no problem, just use the CRX's arms that connect to the chassis. for my brake setup I also got a new CRX MC and brake booster, brembo drilled and slotted rotors with PBR pads, didn't change the prop valve. the car drops anchor! especially with the tires that are on it right now it's pretty rediculous have quickly it stops. the brakes also held up great even through two trips to the Dragon at Deals Gap

it's not just for looks it's also for the ease and $$ you save when replacing pads rather than repairing drums.

true you don't improve braking distance, but sometimes some benefits outwiegh the other benefits. the shortened braking distance is not that significant when keeping drums compared to converting to disks.
