rear disc brake question
before anyone tells me too search, i searched. and i couldnt really find what i was looking for. i have a 93 dx hatch and i have a 93 integra ls. im taking the rear discs from the ls and putting them on the hatch but i have a few questions because everything that ive found was talking about using 94+ integra brakes. now i saw somewhere that the integra e-brake lines were gonna be too short or too long for the hatch, so what e-brake lines do i need? and what about the brake lines? i wanted stainless ones but which do i order them for? the integra or civic? or something else, like the del sol or something? and i thought i saw somewhere that i could use the prop. valve and brake booster and everything from the integra...is that right?
serached, but didnt read, maybe...
Get cables that best fit the chassis - for you, that would be -95 si hatch cables.
Use rear disc hoses - ss hose kit for the same si hatch.
You can use a teg prop valve...or not bother switching it at all.

The only difference between the DA trailing arms and the DC is that the rear trailing arm bushing on the DA is larger in diameter when compared to the DC.
now i just saw somewhere that you dont even need the whole trailing arm and you can just bolt up the rear disc hub to the stock dx trailing arm? and it said something about the caliper not having somewhere to bolt up? how does that work?

Maybe some people don't know what a "spindle" on the back is. First off, there is no "drum trailing arm". The trailing arm on ALL 88-00 Civics is exactly the same. The spindle, which holds the brakes, actually can detach from the trailing arm.

This is the bare drum spindle. Just the hub on it, and slave cylinder. The drum shoes and springs have been disassembled so you can see.

This is the actual spindle, showing how it attaches. Imagine the trailing arm pointing right towards you, as in the tire goes straight up and down in this picture. From the front of the car, this is how it would look. That "spike" goes into the trailing arm via its 24mm big *** nut. and those two screws you see, though there are four.

This is how you detach the spindle from the trailing arm to change from drum to disc. The 24mm axle nut needs some brute force, or a big socket wrench and hammer. The T50 todx bolts are just a bitch and a half. These 4 bolts and nut hold your brakes and wheel onto the car, so no wonder there tightened so much, you dont ever want them coming loose unexpectedly, however they usually dont want to come loose ever, hehe. The rusty area is where it touches the traling arm, don't know why Honda chose that shape. The black circle is what the drum stuff mounts to, the circle is for where the e-brake comes in, and that hardline goes to the slave cylinder.
This drum spindle may bolt to ANY 88-00 civic or 90-01 Integra trailing arm (Integras had drums in Japan on the lower models, for reference.)

The caliper mounting points are on the Disc spindle, so everything is fine if you swap the whole thing from Car B --> Car A.
