Default Rear disc swap on the 88 - Suspention difference in the 88 an issue?

Topic says it all.

I know the 88 has different rear suspention then the 89-91, does this play as a important factor when swaping the trailing arm from a teg on there?

Or are the suspention differences not part of the trailing arm?

Thanks!

No problems should arise.

The difference is the lower control arm. 88's are better IMO.

thanks man!

I have read that you can use crx e-brake cables, but there longer so you will have to route them 'creatively', is this true?

They also differ in the geometry of the mount to the body, IIRC. So even with the teg vs. CRX CA's you'll have a different attachment point on the 88's.

I slapped crx si rear disc brakes on my 88 dx and I used the si e-brake cables.

no CRX (90-91 Si) ebrake cables are a direct bolt on. It's the 90+ teg cables that need creative routing because they are a little longer.

Re-use all the 88 Control arms on the new trailing arm.
