Default 96-00 civic sedan ek 4dr rear disk conversion

Did anyone have problems with rusted bolts in the rear lcas? I snapped 2 bolts on my passenger side lca. The whole bolt was stuck in the subframe, does anyone wish they wouldve kept their drums insted?

So in order to keep your abs just splice the civic wires and connect the integra abs. I turned the caf on and the abs light came on then turned off as it should. Ive already been on the road for a few miles to test it and its awesome! You can really feel a difference. Definitely recommend this conversion to any one whos thinking about it. I did use the integra brake cable and theyr perfect with the silver mounting brackets from the og cables then just tighten up the ebrake with a 12mm open end wrench.

Don't cut and splice anything you can use the integra sensors they plug in under the rear seat in the car

well i definitely feel a difference on stopping especially on the freeway. its only 7lbs on each side, and its not a track car.



well the integra t.a.'s abs wire was cut so i switched the part that mounts on the hub. everything works fine. no abs light.

and the rear trailing arm bushing wasn't that hard to take out as people make it seem. it just took some muscle, not too much time, and box cutter.

Thanks but i think the worst is over. I replaced the lca and all the rear lower suspension bolts with ones from the junkyard (rust free)

The rear disks are awesome! No problems with the abs or anything.
