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?

 

Pretty sure it's 94+ and it's easier if you have the trailing arms. Then it's just a bolt on I think...

 

yeah i been looking on the net and seen a few swaps. i'm wondering if i need to change the master cylinder or if the DX one be fine.

 

change it. if you keep the dx mc it won't feel very firm.

 

Have a 94 DX coupe. Did the rear GSR disc brakes. Direct bolt on with the contol arms and etc. Ran the same MC, autox at least once to twice a month. Brakes have changed in a big way. Going to keep the MC, but thats me. It's enough to let the smoke out of the tires.

 

this gonna prolly be a memorial weekend project.. my friend has a 5th gen he's doing and myself the 6th gen. hopefully we can get them done over the long weekend. Maybe ill keep the Dx MC for now and pick up the Teg MC just in case.

 

Had mine done at a shop in 2 hours. Wish i had a garage to work on stuff.

 

I am the friend doing the 5th gen so I found the parts locally, but they dont have the trailing arm with the dick assmbly attcahed.... so can I use the trailing arm I currently have? just swap the drum with the disk?

 

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.
