if you use integra rear disc's could you use the your stock LCA's or do you use the integra ones that came with the rear disc's?

Either or, both the eg and integra ones fit so you dont have to change the lower arm if you dont want to :thumb:

Love the write up... ill be using it to do mine sometime this spring when it gets better outside. I got the trailing arms from an EG6 (SpeedTech), drilled disks all around, MC from a 93 civic si and prop valve from DC2...

Dont need the valve if your only swapping the rears, will change feel. If you swap front and rears it 's almost a requirement for drivability.

No to the valve and yes you must have the e-brake cables. The differ from drum and disc

Hope that helped :thumb:

An Awesome Write up Bloke!!!!

Keep in mind a larger m/c will give you a higher more solid brake pedal.

and you really should get the right proportioning valve.

Mine were falling apart. Look for deterioration I suppose. I replaced mine because I was replacing everything else at the time too.

Energy suspension
Prothane

I know there are more but those are very common producers.

I doubt you can get the energy suspension bushings at autozone. You can order them online.

http://www.energysuspensionparts.com did a great job. Got me my stuff in less than a week
