hi I have a '96 EK Sedan and I just bought a rear Disc suspension from an Acura integra to do a disc brake conversion. I'm being told that I only need to put the integ Hubs on mine without the need of replacing the whole swing arm, and also that I will need a '99 Civic Si E-brake cable to make it work because my E-brake cable will be too long.. How true is this???

 

I'm not sure how true it is.. But I dont see a problem if it is too long I think you should worry more if it is too short.... I'll measure some that I have in my garage if you measure your integra cables

 

Your drum ebrake cables will not work. You will need 99-00 Civic Si cables.

 

There's been people that have used integra lines also, but i dont think they mount up perfectly.

Yes you can switch just the hub, but it is easier to drop and switch the entire trailing arm.

 

Hi I did this swap on my 96 EX sedan.
Here is whats involved:
-You are better off changing the whole arm cuz its only couple of bolts.
-You will definitely need 99 Si cables becuz the integra ones are longer and the Si ones are perfect fit.
-It is recommended to get the 99 Si prop valve but not required.
-Calipers and brake pads are all the same for 99Si, Integras and Del Sols.
-You are going to need Honda Brake fluid cuz you are gonna bleed your brakes after. You could go to pep boys but nuttin beats OEM.

 

Ok thanks a lot guys!! the Teg suspension I got doesn't have the E-brake cable but from your info I sure don't need it either.

 

Also, you do not need a 99-00 si prop vavle, you can use them from 96-00 civic dx, hatch/coupe, hx as well as si.

 

If I want to put aftermarket rotors, calipers, and pads, what oem parts, tool, supplies, etc. will I need for an 96 hatchback? What year integra should I look into?

Might as well replace the bushing and bearings while it's all apart too, so you don't have to worry about it.

 

1996-2000 Cx or Si only,
the valve needs to originate from non ABS vehicle.

 

98 DX sedan has the same prop valve, beecee.

 

good to know

 

yeah man, I can't tell you how satisfied I was to find that out when I was doing my conversion.
