thinking about swapping the front knuckles and rear trailing arms from a integra over to my 97 dx hatch. If im correct i will need the kunckles, rear trailing arms and brakes lines? Let me know if im leaving anything out.

Thanks

 

you don't need the front brake likes if this is from a 94-01 integra. You do need knuckles, and RTAs and rear brake lines. You will also want the E brake cables from a EM1. You can use the 94-01 integra or 92-95 civic cables...but you will need to make a few bracket mods. You will need an alignment afterwards. Immediately.

 

If you can get everything off the donor car do it! You never know when you might need those extra pieces, get the complete changeovers!

 

thanks for not flaming me i never done this before so i wanted to get everything before i attempted this. My buddy has a 4dr gsr that im taking everything off. Does it matter if its coming off a 2dr or 4dr? will the RTAS still be the same?

 

It does not matter, yes the RTA's are the same believe it or not. But the e-brake cables might be a little too long. If they are and you don't want to mess with them, the perfect fit for your hatch would be 99-00 Civic Si (aka EM1) e-brake cables.

 

also im not gonna need the a arms off the integra? is $400 to much for the complete change over?

 

You can get them cheaper from a junkyard. My friend got his for $75. I actually once got a 5 lug and wheels for $300.

 

yeah for $400 i might as well pay the extra money and get the 5 lug..if i do the 5 lus everything is still the same right?

 

lol....you're not going to get a 5 lug for anywhere near $400. They're between $900-1000 without wheels usually. I just got lucky.


My point was that there are plenty of DCs/DBs or 92-95 civic EX ABSes at the junkyard that you can pull the front and rear brakes off of. It can be had for well under $400. Just make sure the junkyard stuff is in good shape.

 

found a 5 lug local for $700 without 5 lug wheels..if i do the 5 lug change over is it still the same as gsr change over? or would i have to get anything else? also i know the JDM 5 lugs have bigger axle diameter just wondering how i would be able to get axles for it? to confirm the usdm 5 lug is 32mm like gsr or civic si right?

 

Only JDM ITR 5 lugs have the 36mm axle.

JDM CTR 5 lugs have a 32mm axle.

USDM ITR 5 lugs have 32mm axles.

All of them have the same sized brakes. They are about 1'' bigger than GSR brakes all around. So you will need atleast 15'' wheels.

The 5 lug is a good buy for $700. Is it stolen?

If you do need the 36mm axles, you can either ask the seller for theirs or you can use prelude or accord outer CV joints. CR-V outer CV joints should work also.

If you install a DC2 5 lug on a 96-00 civic, you will need an alignment that day.

If you installa EK9 CTR 5 lug on a 92-95 civic or 94-01 integra, you will need an alignment that day.

 

thanks for the info but i would need type r brake booster or prob vavle right?

 

Master cylinder...not brake booster. But yes..you'd want the DC/EM1 master cylinder and probably the EM1 prop valve. The ITR has ABS...so you can't use that one.

Need? no.

Want? yes.

 

but i dont need the master cylinder or prop valve right away right?

 

nope. The brake biasing will just be wack. It will be like the drum system so the rear brakes will be doing barely anything.

 

ok thanks so ill just get the brake booster and prop valve from a EM1 once i complete the change over

 

what kind of bracket mods would i have to do

 

can someone help with me the bracket mod?

 

forget the bracket mod i got my hands on em1 e brake cables
