the idea is to install disc brakes in the rear end. for those of you already did it, how did you?? I need something easy and not too expensive.

thanks for any detail

its really easy everything bolts up you just have to have the metal Emergency brake cables and the Rubber hoses for the Disc brakes

You can get Disk Brakes from a 94 or 95 Civic EX w/ ABS(has 4wheel Disks) or Get them from any integra. As for the install I am not sure. Someone will chime in soon to give you that info I am sure. I am one of the lucky few who Has 4wheel disk + Abs from the factory.

integra brake cables will NOT bolt up to oem holes.. You need

ABS Coupe or Sedan rear disc parking cables to fit in the oem spots. I am running coupe abs parking cables :thumb:



all 4x100 rear disc brakes..are identical from 92-00 civics or 94-01 integras.

And that is the right info :wink:

You MAY can use hatch parking brake cables, but they are too short.. so it will result in a fight to get them on... :lol: and it will not work properly..

I just bought a complete set from a 99 integra. my car is asking for new brake cables weeks ago, I'm doing both things at the same time.

I´m doing the change during next week at my garage and its my first time.
Who can help me with like a kind of instructions?? I know its really ease and I´ve done several physical investigations on my rear suspension (installed coilovers 3 times :lol: ).

Any special details??

thanks
