So all you got was the rotors, calipers and brackets, pads and e-brake cables?

LOL. I think it'll be much easier if you just switch trailing arms.

Yes it would. A couple of bolts doesn't take long to loosen up.

LOL, that all depends on how fast you work, if you have the right tools, and if none of your old bolts are stripped/rusted.

Possible to do a 4disk setup on a crx by pulling 2 used ones from the front and throwing them on the back? Possible? Easy?

Here is my retard tip for you...

At the front of the trailing arm, don't remove the bolt that goes in to the undercarriage of the car. Leave the compensator arm on the car, not on the trailing arm. I did this the wrong way years ago doing the same swap, and I had to cut a hole in the floor of the car near where your feet would be if you were in the back to get the nut that popped off which is built in to the car.

This may not make sense at all now, but it will when you start taking it apart. Remember, disconnect the trailing arm from the compensator arm and leave the comp arm on the car.
