If youre talking about the rear trailing arms from the 96 teg then yes. be sure to use a larger MC. What kind of Civic (EG, EK)? That pertains to the MC you'd use cause if its an EK it bolts up. On the Eg one lines goes in the other has to be cut and use a union along with the Integra portion of the line (Teg has a larger fitting on the passenger side of the MC)

I hate to jump in on your thread but I didn' what to start a new topic for 1 simple question. I have a 94-01 Integra rear trailing arm without the caliper,rotor, and e-brake cable! My question is, does the rotor, caliper and e-brake cable from a older Integra {90-93} fit on the 94-01 Integra trailing arm. I have a 93 Civic with drum/ 7/8 MC and a 30/30 PV.

If you look on the first page it has all the info you need concerning this. But the rotors and pads are. Maybe someone will chime in, but i dont know the exact differences between the two calipers personally. but if in that thread it shows that the rear trailing arms are the same except the spindle's center bushing for some models i dont see why those wouldnt bolt work.

Here is the section for you. Just double check if the brackets will work. they use the same caliper but the bracket MAY be different.

Directly from the thread

Legend:

7CLP13S = 99-00 Si Caliper/CRX Si/90-01 Integra Caliper
Not all (7CLP13S) calipers/brackets may be 100% Identical, but calipers and mounting brackets are Interchangeable between calipers on the following models:
88-91 CRX Si, 90-91 Civic Sedan EX, 99-00 Si, 94-95 Si with ABS, 96-97 Del Sol VTEC, 90-93 Integra,94-01 Integra (all models exc. Type-R)
Si = Refers to the 7CLP13S (or equivelent) caliper and relative bracket
9CLP14S = EP3 Calipers/ RSX calipers
3EP = RSX/EP3 rear caliper bracket
*To use RSX/EP3 Calipers on a Civic/Integra with civic/ Integra e-brake cables, the e-brake attachment lever will need to be switched from any 7CLP13S caliper body.
*91-95 Legend rear calipers on a Civic/Teg with the 10.4" rotors uses the lighter Legend caliper, because it’s a caliper with just a piston, so it eliminates the e-brake cable and parts (for track cars). The 91-95 Legend used a separate drum for an e-brake.
*The NSX Calipers on a Civic/Teg is not reccomended to be paired with any front setup with less than an 11.8" rotor unless the car has had weight distribution modification for track use, etc. This setup is very stong and on most setups, rear bias the car too much.

ASAP jr deleon, Thank you for the help and concern! I really appreciate that. One more thing I have a 94-00 Integra Boosters that reads NM-290V-2 and a master cylinder from 92-95 Civic sedan 4 disc and it doesn't say the size 7/8--15/16 nothing! I trust what you have to say, I research and it just drives me nuts reading what others opinions are on the web. There is good info out there but hard to find. Thanks again!

I dont think the DA integra e cables will fit. But then again i've personally never tried. Usually you want to work within the chassis you have (for example, EKs would use the EM1 si cables, eg's use either the si or dc cables and EF's use crx si or da cables)

The ABS master cylinder is 15/16 and uses the same odd sized line on the passenger side of the MC, just like the DC tegs. you'd have to cut the EG line and either tube and flare the DC fitting to it, or you can cut the line at a certain point and mate the DC line to your car with a 3/16" union. Thats what i did. Whether that MC bolts to the DC booster you have there, io dont know cause ive never tried. I have both the DC MC and booster.

If you wanted to cut through all that, you could use the MC from a 90-91 Civic Ex sedan. All the lines screw in, bolts up to your stock MC, and is 15/16". But if you want that good *** pedal feel (thats all it really does anyway) use the DC booster. But if yoou ever have to take it out, unless you can depress its linkage where it connects to the pedal, its going to be a BITCH to take it out

I installed the e-brake cable from a 90-93 Teg. and they are in!?? I do appreciate your knowledge! Thank you! You are saying that you know the MC I have is a ABS 15/16? Does the ABS MC and BB work on a non, when I put the MC on the BB I have to push it in and crew it, something wrong! 2 different size fittings and they run off the driver side away from the passenger! Again Thank you! I will try what I have and see what happens! jr deleon Can't thank you enough!

Coolio. You could use both, but like i said about the lines before, one of the lines not only will not line up, but the fitting on its end its a completely different size. So you'd either have to cut the end off, put on the larger fitting, and reflare it, or cut the line where it is straight and cut the donor line at the same point using a union to make them one. Either method is easy and wont take long.
