That and it would probably cost you a pretty penny.

Tons! probably cost more than the car is worth. Thousands. the abs system, abs brake lines, abs wires, abs sesnors. dozens of hours of labor.

what exactly are the trailing arms?

also is it common for this part to be a little weathered and corroded looking but still be in good shape?

I know of a 95 teg lying aroung but I'm not sure if they're in good enough condition to use.

I'm so excited. I am taking my car in tonight to get it done.....GSR rear disc conversion, front fastbrakes upgrade, GSR front antisway, comptech rear antisway and tie bar, tein ss coilovers, camber kit. I'll post pics on monday!!!!

Sorry, had to gloat, but if you are doing GSR, you might have to replace the upper and lower arms too, that is if you want to add a rear antisway bar....i think.

No they came as an option on EX coupes too. AKA the EX-A. Check out www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and they seperate the EX Coupe and the EX coupe with ABS(rear disks).
