Default Bought A complete (Front and rear) Integra disc brake changeover! Help! ADvice!

I just bought a front and rear 90-93 integra disc conversion for $200 CDN!

INcludes everything! but i have a lot of questions!

1) The first question has to do with these pics.




What are those cables for? Are they abs? If so can i run them on my car without using them? (Can i unbolt them?!)

2) Will i be able to reuse my axles?

3) Do I have to use the UCA from the integras or can i use the ones from my crx?

4)How do you re-route the integra e brake cables? Anyone have pics?

5) ALSO MY CAR IS LOWERED ON HR RACE SPRINGS AND KONI YELLOWS.....
ARE THE KNUCKLES GOING TO BE A PROBLEM?!

Thats all i can thinik of for now! If i have any more questions ill let you guys know!

Thanks!

What cables are you talking about bro? Pics are so huge I can't see any cables. Use your crx upper control arms.

Those rubber "cables" are actually brake fluid hoses that go to the rear calipers. You'll need to get new lines because it looks like those were just cut. There should be another hose which the E brake cable goes through into the back of the hub.

By the way is this a rear disk conversion??? or all 4? If it's just rears then you dont worry about axels, jus swap the hub/trailing arm and bolt up...LCA's should be the same (not 100%)...

Be more specific.

You can keep the 90-93 Integra knuckles, just get an alignment after it's done. The EX knuckles people recommend are 90-91 EX Civic sedan knuckles. Yes you can still use your axles.

Thanks for your help. After an alignment i should be ok with my HR RACE springs? I think is more than 2" drop...... i heard the knuckles are 1/2" longer, is that going to be a problem?

Sorry for all the questions, i just want to make sure that i get it right the first time!

Thanks

No sir, that shouldn't be a problem. I am not sure if the DA knuckles are 0.5" longer though.

Impact screwdriver at any auot parts store-$20 I think, or if you guys have autozones they rent them for free.

Use that PB stuff or WD40 and soak them, let it sit for a while and pound the impacy screw driver.
