Default Rear Disc Swap process ?'s


O.k. I've got a rear disc swap from a 97 Del Sol DOHC, I've also got 90-91 CRX si brake cables on the way...... now my question is... the rear disk swap came with two small arms (not the LCA) on it about 10-12" long. Are these the same size as the ones that are in my 89 CRX si? Or should I just use the ones already on the car and only swap over the trailing arms. I'd rather use the ones from the del sol, as I would think the bushings on them would be in better condition....

Can any one clear this up for me? Thanks.

Just use the trailing arms.. You could use the other arm but I think that would mean you would need a rear alignment. I dunno? I just used the trailing arm and it went fine.

P.S. if you are doing this at home, make sure you get your car really high off the ground.. this job is kinda a pain in the ***.

Don't use those T-arms, they will mess up your camber. Use the CRX arms , only the Del Sol trailing arm is needed.

Thanks for the info.... now I was told that I could just leave the ABS sensors on the trailing arms and not worry about removing them. Can anybody verify this info for me. Thanks again.... I appreciate the info.

In regards to the t-arms I'll use both of the original ones from the CRX.

If you mean you are putting 96 GSR rear disks on a CRX then yes you will need CRX e-brake cables.

Still wondering about the sensors though... anybody?
