I was browsing through the marketplace and came across someone selling "rear disk conversion" out off an 01 integera.... i txted them and they said that they think it will only work for the 2 door civics (so im guessing its a 2 door integera) but ive never seen anything saying one way or another.... So is the trailing arm different between the two?

 

Its still a direct bolt-in swap, but you may need to get e-brake cables for your chassis with disc brakes. I dont think the Integra cables work.

On a side-note, im trying to sell a rear disc conversion off an Integra I have. PM me if youre interested.

 

how hard is the front upgrade and how big of a diff will i see over just the rear conversion

IMO, swapping out the knuckles is easier than swapping out the whole trailing arms. You'll see some improvement going from 9.5" to 10.25" since the front brakes do most of the braking anyways.

When I converted to rear disks before doing the front, there wasn't really much of a difference over the drums.

 

^ This. Actually there's basically no improvement at all going to rear discs, those that claim it made a huge difference usually went from worn out shoes and drums that were out of adjustment to brand new pads and rotors. Going from new drums and shoes to new pads and rotors you'd be hard pressed to see any difference at all.

 

^I'm doing mine, hopefully this summer, just for the looks. I H-A-T-E having those rear drums sitting there looking ugly. Totally aware the brunt of the stopping force is up front. Hopefully this summer I can upgrade those as well.
