My friend has a 88 CRX hf and he wants to do a rear disc brake conversion. Can anyone help us or tell us what we need?

 

i just did mine with 90 teg ls rear trailing arms. get the whole thing off of a teg in the junkyard. if it is a 2 dr, you can use the e brake lines, better would be to get everything from a 90-91CRX SI. my rear wheels are sitting a little wider. unbolt the 14 mil that holds the lower control arm, underneath the brake, the 2 17 mils that are under the pivot point towards the front of the arm, and the 14 mil bolt that adjusts the toe in/out, this is towards the center of the car in front of the arm. also, get the master cylinder and proportioning valve from the donor car. this will be the best setup to use with the brakes.

This is all you need.

 

I got mine from a sol, everything should be the same correct? Are Integra Brakes larger than civics?

 

I have an '89 civic wagon; would the trailing arms from a '94 up gsr work with the wagon? I know from learning the hard way that the trailing arms on the wagon are longer than anything before '92 and i have talked to a couple of guys that generaly know theyre stuff, they say yes. Anybody got any info?

 

I have everything for the swap but all of my rear suspension bolts are frozen. I have broke like 4 sockets trying to get the damn things loose. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get the LCA dropped?

 

Try an impact wrench and if that does not work heat it with a portable propane torch(old school) hehe

 

penetrating oil, let is soak or some heat
that works well, my conversion took maybe 2 hours, its mad easy and im so happy now i have 4 wheel disc brake, just do your self a favor, upgrade the mc to a 90-91 ex and use a 90-91 si pv, i have all 88 componets trust me u need the bigger mc,
FUEL

 

Keep in mind that you will also have to replace the rear struts when you do the swap. The 88 uses a different lca. I did the same thing to my 88 DX. I added the rear disk and sway bar from a 90 Si. I also used the 90-91 EX master cylinder and the 90 Si proportioning valve.

Let us knoe if you have any more questions.

 

will the 94-up GSR rear disc brakes and trailing arms and all that crap work for a rear disc conversion on a 88 DX CRX?? i need to know becuase my freind has all that junk from a 95 GSR. please let me know!! thanks

 

yea it does the trailing arms... i have 94+ on my 88 rex si so it will work but you will need a MC and a Booster... and that is where i am stuck cuz i have a 94+ MC and booster and ppl said it wont and some siad it will... ummm look in the back posts... some ppl used a 89 accord lxi MC and booster soo i dunno also i guess you need a porporation value or something like that... it will stop like eng down sport cut spring setup...

 

i used integra rear trailing arms, integra upper control arms, 88 CRX SI lower control arms, no ebrake cables as of yet, and 18" braided brake lines. i do notice some negative rear camber that i don't remember being there before, which is strange because i even raised the car up after swapping the rears, as my rear track widened, and my oversized rear tires were conflicting with the fender well. stupid 205 55 15's. need 195/50!!!

 

if your breaking sockets they must suck *****.

heat it up and put an impact on it. breaker bars often result in twisted off heads on suspension bolts (believe me i know) aint fun.

pb blast it baby

 

correct me if i'm wrong...but did the 91 crx si's come with rear disc brakes?

 

you can use the 88 lower control arms with the 90-91 trailing arms, they bolt up fine i dont care what anyone says, i have passive rear and rear disc

 

anyone know the part numbers for a 91 CRX si Rear trailing arms ,calipers, rotors, brake hose, and e-brake cable

 

i also have 88 SI passive rear control arms with 90 teg discs on my crx. seems to corner fairly well. would be nice to have some e-brake cables......

 

The local pick-and-pill junk yard here has a 1992 2-door integra with rear disc brakes.... They only want $100 for the whole setup.. is that a good price? If so, will taking all the parts from that include everything I will need to convert my 1990 civic dx hatch to rear disc?

 

yea it is a good price for it i got my 94 rears for 250.. but remeber you gonna need a porprotionng vavle which i havent got... you needs to say like 40 /40 on it someplace.. if there is another integ with it can you hook a fellow honda owner

 

I've got a full 2000 Si swap under my ED3. Make sure to use the longer dogbones so the rear toe can be adjusted properly. On the front, the upper A-arms of the newer cars are shorter, but that's cool because on a stock ride height car you get ~1.8* pos camber, which eliminates the need for a camber kit when you lower your car. On the rear everything bolts up. The e-brake cables worked out fine too, just a little difference between the grommet where they come through the floor. Might want to look into getting a set of stainless brake lines though. Make installation much easier.

 

Yes they did. I have a 90 Si and I have 4 wheel disc brakes on my CRX.
