Default Brake swap questions

In the middle of a brake swap, swapping the spindles from an integra that had abs.

my question is will a hub assembly from a non abs fit on the abs spindle. as my civic doesnt have abs and the hub is cheaper.

also whats the best balance for price/quality suspension/brakes, of course oem is usually higher in quality but i found some parts locally i am considering. Already bought oem suspension links, but hardrace ta bushings. only thing left is brakes, and hardware.

ABS vs non are the same, the only difference is on the axles, and it's just a ring pressed on, that you could just knock off if wanted.

why would you want to just switch hubs? just use the whole spindle from the integra.

the civic trailing arm was in way better shape, i am swapping the spindles. i was replacing the abs hub on the integra spindle, was wondering if non-abs would work. so you say its the same?

spindles = front, trailing arm = rear.

is your civic got rear discs already? if so, y are you switching this stuff around?

If you have rear drums, you can't use a spindle from an ingera and put it onto the rear drum trailing arm, if i'm not mistaken.

There are so many double and triple negatives in that sentence that I'm not sure exactly what you're saying.

You CAN bolt an Integra disc rear spindle to a Civic drum rear trailing arm. The trailing arms are exactly the same.
