Default Rear disc swap?

A friend of mine with an '89 CRX wants a rear disc brake swap done. This would be my 4th or 5th such swap.

I found '93 Si rear disc trailing arms at a wrecker for dirt cheap. (They didn't have anything directly from a CRX). Will the trailing arms out of an EG still bolt into a CRX? I don't see why not, I'm just making sure. I've also done rear discs out of a DA into an '88 CRX. I'm pretty sure they're all basically the same.

A friend of mine with a 89 civic hatch just bolted on EG civic EX coupe rear disc's onto his car. He used everything from the car including the E brake cables. The only thing i dont think he used was the small upper arm (the one that controls the toe), he just reused his old original one. So yea to answer ur question, it does bolt right on. I dont know why so many people are stuck on using DA or '91 CRX rear disc brakes when the EG, and maybe EK??, ones fit perfect.
