Default Search Disabled! Rear disc brake conversion? on 1990 Civic Si.

I need a parts list of what is needed from a 1990 CRX Si to do a complete rear disc brake conversion on my 1990 Civic Si. What is a fair price to pay for all the parts needed as a package? I know the answers to my questions are in the archive, But the search is disabled. All help is greatly appreciated, Thanks all.

Do I need to use the brake master cylinder from the CRX due to the larger need for brake fluid for 4 calipers instead of the stock 2 on my Civic Si. Bare with me this whole idea is completly new to me. Is the info above everything I need to know for the full swap? Thanks for the info.

if the master cylinder is avaible, take it. while you're at it, the integra front sway bar is beefier than stock. use that with the stock clip things that go around the bushing. i'm not sure if the si has a rear sway bar, but when using the integra lower control arms, the integra rear sway bar now bolts on. there are four holes drilled but two will fit in the stock chassis. its more than enough. i just did this on my hf and it handles like a champ!!! i love honda/acura

the preffered choice for 90 civic hb going to disc brakes would be using components from a 90-91 crx. basically all you need in both rear trailing arms complete with disc assembly and e-brake cables. 90-93 integ parts would also work but the track width is slightly bigger

you can also use the 95-up integra rear trailing arm. as long as not type-r. I have an 89 crx and already done the conversion. Be careful and make sure your calipers work. I found out as I was putting it all together. Extra money i didn't need to spend. You also need 90-91 crx brake lines, 90-91 e-brake cable,and complete trailing arm ( arm, calipers, rotors)

if you use the 95-up arms be sure to change the compensator arm(refer to the pic from "USDM 4G VTEC") to make sure everything bolts up right.
