Default 94 EX Brake Conversion: Why not use parts from 94 Civic with disc?

Hello all:
In doing my research for my upcoming rear brake conversion on my 94 Civic EX, I always see everyone using the trailer arms from Acura Integras or other Civics.
What has me scratching my head is why don't people use the trailer arms from a 1994 with Discs. I understand the ITR Cylinder, booster and all that. But isn't obvious to use the trailer arm from the same car if it exists?

Is there a certain issue I am not aware of?
Thanks for the help

1992-95 civics with rear disc brakes are rare. It'll work...but Integra rear discs setups are easier to find.

94-01 integra and 92-95 civic parts are basically interchangable and share the same design.

^Yep. The parts are the same, so it doesn't really matter which car you get them from.

Excellent, thanks for the assist. Just wanted to make sure. While on the topic, so if I do find an EX with the discs, should I still go out of my of way to get the ITR master,booster, prop, or should I just stick with the EX's

Thanks again

Good question I think the prop valve will work fine, check the MC/Booster, and make sure it's a 15/16. Not a 7/8.

Im guessing the front disc brakes on an EX are 10.2? If they are, I suggest getting a 15/16 MC and a 40/40 prop valve. If your front discs are DX/LX size (9.3) a prop valve is probably the only thing you'll need IMO.

:thumbup:

I think a rear disc swap is in line h: if all I'd need was a few lines/cables, the rear setup, and a prop valve, that should be no problem
