Do that ****
It's extremely easy if you follow the pic.
If you have a problem we'll help you.
imo the rear is easier than the front.

if you installed the front yourself, the rear + p. valve should be a piece of cake.

Re: DA rear disc brakes (erikiksaz1)
I did a reverse rear disc swap on my civic and put the drums back on in place of the discs last week and I would say it took me only about 2 hours to do this time. Everything is pretty easy.

It really is pretty easy as others have mentioned..........but gotta question for ya.....when you did the fronts......did you use the DA of EX knuckles? I still have been unable to find the truth to being able to use DA knuckles.
If you run into any prob's with the rears......shoot an IM

If it helps, I went with DA knuckles and the drive is ok, no problems so far. Just make sure to get an alignment after.

Re: DA rear disc brakes (phan)
I got my jdm DA complete front knucles from Steve at HMO I took off my shitty USDM STD ones and swaped these right on , easy bolt-on. Way better response and braking I didnt get an alignment though so this explains why my MOMO Team steering wheel isnt straight when i am driving

Why did you say: this picture shows everything you got to remove.. but it says: "do not remove" that one bolt... does just the bolt help alignment?

that bolt holds in your stock c-arms and yes, allows for alignment. sometimes people remove the stock crx c-arm and replace it with the one that comes with their new disc-trailing arms. you NEED to use the crx c-arms or else correct alignment will be impossible.

Last time I was at the junkyard I checked the DC trailing arm numbers against the DA and they were exactly the same.
I've got a set of DC arms in my room waiting to go on my EF; hopefully they'll work. From what I can tell they are absolutely identical to the DA's in every important measurement.

That is what I am using. 94-01 Integra will work.

You can get correct alignment with any 88-00 civic or 94+ integra compensator arm. It is impossible if you use DA c-arms. The DA c-arms are about 1" longer.

only difference is the trailing arm bushing. It's slightly bigger. Everything else is the same.
Get a 10mm flare nut wrench so you don't strip the flare nuts.
