any one know how to do this? i have a 1990 civic and im getting real trailing arms from a 91 teg. is this hard to do? will it really make a difference?

 

http://tech.hybridgarage.com/tech/brakeswap.html its basically the same thing. THis is of course for a 5th gen civic. Its really easy. I would rate it like a 2 out of 10 on a difficulty level. I plan on doing one myself once I finish school. The ebrake cable you will use from either a si or a integra. THats probably the most difficult thing out of the whole swap. Besides I find it alot easier to change disk brakes then drums. They sux. Use goggle.com for a search. Its all over the internet. easy. your welcome ass!

 

my directions told me i couldnt use an si e brake cable. it was to short

 

yeah you need the 90-93 ls e-brake cable. You can actually use the trailing arms off of any 89+ civic/crx or 90+ teg that has rear disks. Keep in mind that changing out the rear trailing arms will throw your alignment off.

 

you can't use a si brake cable?

 

no, the only e-brake that is retained is when u swap an 84-87 with discs. the stock e-brake cable is retained. otherwise they to short.

good luck getting the trailing arm bolts off, FUN FUN FUN.
i have to swap over the whole rear axle to, not just the trailing arms.
