Wondering if EG hatch suspension is compatible with an EF hatch
Hey everyone. I'm confused as to what rear suspension is compatible with other chassis.
I have an EG hatch (95 CX), an EF hatch (89 SI) and an EK hatch (98 DX).
I did a rear disc conversion on the EG hatch a while back, but I still have the trailing arms, UCAs, LCAs, compensator arms, drum brakes and e-brake cables.
My EF hatch has a rear disc conversion done to it, but I don't intend on keeping this car - I plan on selling it. When I bought this car, the seller told me that the disc swap was from an integra. He didn't say what year or sub model, he just said 'integra'.
My EK hatch still has the factory drum brakes on it, and this is my daily driver. I swapped an ITR motor into this chassis and there's a little bit of work done to it. Since the EK isn't the same 106 hp factory car that it used to be, I'd like to rear disc swap this car.
Here's my plan (if all can be done): I want to take the rear disc conversion off of the EF hatch and swap it into the EK to replace its factory, current drum brake setup. I also want to take the factory rear suspension/drum brake setup that I kept from when I disc swapped the EG hatch and swap it into the EF hatch to replace the current disc conversion.
From the information that I can give you, is this going to be possible? If so, great! If not, why, and is there anything I could do to make it work?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Wondering if EG hatch suspension is compatible with an EF hatch
The rear disc swap could be from either a 90-93 Integra or 94-00 Integra. 90-93 will have a larger rear trailing arm bushing then the rest.
If you swap the discs off to a drum you will have to swap E-brake cables and fluid lines. E-brake cables can be funny though. The 94+ fits good for the EG chassis where the EF chassis uses 94+ 4 door cables or 90-93 cables. Not a very complicated swap, but will require an alignment once completed.
Front shock forks on the 88-91 and 92-95 chassis are different if you were planning on swapping that as well.
