i want to conver my drums to discs. i have an 88 sedan lx. what model will be best for my car? should i get the front brake assembly too, so for parts i can just say for a 88-91 crx (or hatch)? can you list all the parts i need to buy and about how much itll cost? thanks

 

not sure since its a four door but the crx si comes with rear disc and that would be the best car to get the conversion frrom. although the lower control arm is different in the 88-89 to that of a 90-91 this should not be a problem. next if you can not get this from the crx si you can get the rear disc conversion from the 90-93 integra. when getting this get it as complete as you can get it. ex. e-brake cables, rotor, control arms everything.

 

Take the trailing arm off any civic (90-00) or integra (90-2000) with rear disk brakes. Use the ebrake cables off of a 90-93 four door integra. If you want front brakes too the best bet is to get the knuckle off of a 90-91 four door ex civic. Same size brakes as the integra but the suspension geometry is better than putting the teg knuckle on. A JDM civic/crx sir front knuckle will also work well.

 

I have the rear setup from a 92 teg and a 91 Si prop. valve. Also have have the 15/16" bore m/c from the EX 4d. LMK if interested

 

ok man, you're going to have to explain all that, im not to skilled, lol.

 

89-91 crx trailing arms are the same 88 is the off year, and rear disks do not come on the 88-89 crx si only 90-91

 

i have a 90 civic hatch that i am getting ready to do in a hour. i have a complet brake setup (front and rear ) from a 93 integra. you dont need special cable or anything just make sure all the brake lies are uncut. put on the same way you pull off. simple

 

uh notice i said lower control arms not trailing arms.

 

oh, my fault i meant lower control arms anyway

 

well i beg to differ with that on the 88-89 model the lower control arm is bigger and the strut goes in the lower control arm. the lower control arm of the 90-91 model is smaller and the strut fits over the lower control arm. therefore the strut and lower control arm are different and can't be mixed.
