I've read the FAQ's and they explain that I need a new 40/40 valve, and and new e brake cable from a DA integra. I have DA rear disks that are attached to the trailer arms from the DA. Will the trailing arms bolt right up to my CRX? Do i need to use DA calipers for crx si calipers? Any help will be much appreciated! My front brakes will be changed over to, new brakes lines need to be installed now? Thanks!
You have a lot of missguided info. You Do not NEED a new 4040 prop valve, your dx currently has a 3040 or 4030 (I don't remember). It's better to upgrade but it's not needed to run your car.
As for the cable you WILL need ones from a 91 si crx, the da cables are too long for your crx. They will end up dragging.
Also the da rear calipers can be used just fine, you don't need to swap in crx si calipers. Everything you unbolt from the da will bolt up to your crx.

the 4040 is really optional. I would look in the FAQ at second post http://fourthgenhatch.net/index.html you need CRX Si ebrake cables 90-91

Got it, so with the ebrake cable, this is just so they parking brake engages on the caliper since the old cable is for the drum? Suggest I change any brake lines?
