Default EK Rear disc brake conversion / suspension question..

Ok so im planning on a rear disc brake conversion for an ek hatch with all the rear parts outta an 01 integra sedan. Now my question is when I get aftermarket suspension (coilovers) will i really need to buy suspension for a civic in front and an integra in the rear???

No, when your doing the rear disc swap from an integra, you should only use the trailing arm assembly. Your rear shock off the civic will bolt right up to the integra trailing arm with no problem. This way your keeping your ek suspension all around. The integra shock will bolt up too but it's not needed and with any coilover setup, all 92-00 civic and 94-01 integra models share the same shock setup so any springs will work, if you choose to go this route.

^^they aren't 100% identical.

To use EG/DC shocks on EK you'll need use spacers. The fork for the rear are wider than the LCA bushing.

To use EK on EG/DC you'll need to shave some off of the shock bushing..

Use only the trailing arm. The EG / DC rear lower control arm is too short.
