Rear disk brakes from integ
I have a 96 hatch DX and i want to replace my rear drum with rear disk brakes and calipers.
Locally i can pick up the parts necessary from a 94 or a 96 Integra at a junk yard for pretty cheap. The disks, lines, calipers, etc.
Can you tell me if this swap will work asuming i get all the parts needed. Will the integra rear disk rotors etc. bolt right up or do i need the entire rear arm and extra drilling etc?
To sum it all up.. what year integra should i be looking for to do the rear disk brake swap to my 6th gen?

no you need the trailing arm from 94+ integ. the trailing arm for drum and disc is different in a way the brakes bolt on to it. so just find a trailing arm that has everything attached to it like rotors, calipers, e-brake cable.

do a search in the tech forum for this.
There was some good info in a thread I participated in.
We are unsure about moungint an integra MC to a civic brake booster, you may have to adjust the brake booster to accomodate for the shorter stroke.
