im doing a rear disc conversion on a 94 civic hatch, but i dont really know about all the extra little stuff i need. i have the rear trailing arms, hub assemply, calipers, rotors, lca's, and all new bushings, but what else do i need in order to do this correctly?

 

You do not need the LCA's. Use the stock ones. You'll need brake pads obviously. You'll need the rear brake lines. You'll also need e-brake cables. Grab those from a 99-00 Civic Si to save yourself a lot of headaches. You can make the Integra ones fit but the Si ones fit perfectly. That should pretty much do it. You can actually do the swap without replacing the trailing arms but it's a pain in the *** to get the spindles out of the trailing arms without destroying the torx bolts.

 

You'll need flex hoses for a '94 - '01 Integra or a '92 - '95 Si hatchback. If you don't already have parking brake cables and you're going to order them new get those for a '92 - '95 Si, they will fit perfectly.

If the rear LCAs you got are from an Integra, use them, they have the provisions to mount a rear swaybar.

 

Make sure you have the right proportioning valve as well (grab one off of a 92-95 si or ex)

 

Yeah I got after market LCA's for a integra since that's what I got every thing else from. I also read somewhere about getting a master from a 91 civic and a prop valve from a 90-93 teg

 

Unless they're function 7 the OEM ones are better. Most of those aftermarket LCAs have horrible bushings.

You can do both (you'll need to swap the bracket on the proportioning valve for your original civic one though) That said if you're only upgrading the rear brakes don't upgrade the master cylinder, you'll only end up with a rock hard brake pedal. By the same token if only upgrading the rears the prop valve should be from a '92 - '95 Si without ABS since they had small front brakes with rear discs.

 

let us know how it goes, if you run into any issues. I'm doing the an all four wheel disc swap next month when I get the last couple pieces.Picked up 96 spec Type R DB8 4 lug conversion. Apparently I like to dump way more money into a conversion than is probably necessary.
