Default Just Obtained the perfect specimen....

I just bought an '89 honda civic wagovan (2wd) And it has no back brakes. I am looking for a rear disc conversion, anybody out there got one? Who all has wags? any pics? I cant find any good pics of wagons but maybee yall have some, if ya do, this be the place to post them. This is my first crack at hondas so wish me luck. I am anti-rice and pro-speed so the turn-out wont disappoint.

I don't think there are any other Trailing Arms that bolt up to a Wagon as I believe they are unique.

Not all wagons were AWD, you could get 2WD as well, comes stock with d15b, 5 speed, and pretty much all crx componets (as far as i know) I have been told that you can bolt on the '89 crx si trailing arms and rear suspension and use the disc brakes off of the same '89 si. Is this true?

the trailing arms are different lengths on the wagons. you will need to either make a bracket to hang your calipers on like I did, and notch your arms for the caliper to clear, or swap in the disk brake hub and notch your arms for the caliper to clear. I didn't notice a great change when i swapped the rears, but I noticed alot after putting the ex brakes on the front. I can put someone thru my windshield now if I wanted to.
