Thank so much Garage Built Honda's. I own a JDM GSR swapped 90 Si Hatch, you've made this process incredibly easy. You also made the GSR fuel filter replacement very very simple. You've single handedly made me a significantly more self reliant person. That is an invaluable trait to bestow upon others. You're doing good work man. Thank you.
Just changing a 91 HF to rear disc with scarebird kit n 94-01 integra drilled n slotted rotors n calipers. I got 91 crx si cables on ebay w/ hardware. The installing cables section was Gold
Canada here, replacing cables on rear drums today...sweeeeet vid...tutorial really lol...best wishes to you n yours...keep turning that wrench...one love
For 88-91 ebrake cables that fit (CRX=short, DA=long) use 92-95 Civic Si or 93-95 Civic EX coupe (not sedan). They are the exact same length as the EF3/EF9 ebrake cable. The bolt brackets from the 88-91 HB easily swap over to the 92-95 cable and allows for a seamless install in the factory location.
They'll be long, but you can probably loop them a little. Watch this video to see how the DA cables fit on a crx. th-cam.com/video/hyq57nH9cHE/w-d-xo.html
And 1 thing never mentioned is brake lines need to match caliper if u use da teg u need da lines and DC needs DC lines cause it comes out side of caliper and da is angled to bottom and longer
Grabbed a set of RTA's and ebrake cables from the junkyard off if a DA this morning. Will be doing those in the next month or so. So many cars, so little time lol Will def ne using your video as a guide. A lot of the old walk throughs online are missing photos and such.
Great Vid.! Another way is to just get the rear spindle or hub assembly from a DA teggy it unbolts from the RTA with 3 torx bolts. You can bolt it straight on the stock RTA 👍👍👍
Austin Johnson Hey men, can i do this installation if a have a crx ed8 (japan) with no solid lower control arms (as eg6 or dc2) i have a conversion from civic 92-95 but i dont want to change my lower control arms and shock.
I can also confirm that 2000 Acura integra gsr arms fits. The brake feel feels good even without the proportioning valve which I still plan on installing in the Future.
Jon, I recently completed a rear disc swap from a 93 Del Sol into 90 EF hatch. Cable were a little tight, and I had to make the threaded ebrake screw a little longer, but it works!
Yea, and I used your other videos to replace rear trailing arm bushings, and went with ARP extended studs. Thanks for everything you share! My Build. honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/my-new-ef-3294176/
what I currently have to do .previous owner installed the rear trailing arm but no brake cable, brake lines, pads or rotors. debating on just getting a new set. but this helped a lot as every car ive bought had rear disc already. keep up the great work. #GulfCoastEfs
Great job as usual Jon. never let us down with the detailed info and step by step instructions. Hopefully soon enough TH-cam will start sending you a check to keep the projects going. Read something about some tshirts. Very excited for that 👍👌

Man awesome diy vids Bro...I have a 91 crx that I plan to turbo.. I have a d15b7 and just finished the wire tuck and painted engine bay after removing the dash (thanks to your dash removal video)..I was considering moving on to the rear disc conversion and suspension but I have electrical and possible roll cage to take care of since the dash is out wanted to check your thoughts on what is best to knockout first..at this point im saving the engine work last
Thanks, I appreciate the comment! No particular order, just keep working on something and you'll get to the end point eventually. Just do what needs to be done and keep knocking them out one at a time!
Heat them! Then run ur impact rev then forward and keep going and they will normally get loose and come out! I work on cars in canada... so ive had my fair share!
I used 90 Integra rear trailing arms and all of the brake lines and e brake cables both of them a hundred percent is the 40/40 valve from a different type of car because mine has it something that looks just like what you put in
Awesome diy! I have a 1990 teg with a b20b that ima be swaping into my crx along with the front knuckles and rta. My question is what dog bone to use when swappin in da rta?
Garage Built Hondas another question, I have a disc suspension of a cupe 94, you recommend me to use the cable e-brake of the cupe 94 or that of a CRX SI
Was this done on a crx? My parking brake cables had a different setup of how they led into the cabin. The rubber grommets that lead into the cabin were different. They were 2 seperate grommets. Just wondering if your video is of a hatch or sedan
Great video...I have trailing arms from a DC integra...can I still use the e brake lines ? Will I need to loop them? Everyone says the DA e brake lines are the best choice since they arnt as long as DC, but when I look up the specs the DC lines are 3 inches shorter...a bit confused. I think il replace them with new regardless, just want to know the best lines to use for the ef
Great video. I'm doing my disc brake conversion with Scarebird brackets, etc. My question to you is that you haven't or don't need to address the power brake booster, proportioning valve or master cyclinder. Scarebird recommends 1997 acura integra for its conversion. They go as far as replacing the master cylinder. Can all these changes work correctly with the existing power brake booster (91 CRX HF)? If not, any suggestions?
Only a problem if you race, if you don't it's not an issue. And even then it's a minimal difference. You can easily fit 7" - 8" wide with 205 or 225 on both. I'm speaking from track experience using both DA and non DA sets.
It's a reman from autozone. I was just wondering if you think it had anything to do with the trailing swap or just a coincidence that it might be a defective part from autozone
One question if I was to do this which I am gonna how do I match the front breaks to the backs? Do I order rear integra break pads then just normal ef break pads off rock auto?
I am doing the swap on my 1989 Honda Civic LX sedan I heard the when you swap the 90-93 Integra the wheels stick out more. Anyone confirm and how much they would stick out? Also does it matter if you use a 94-01 trailing arm that have ABS versus non ABS? thank you
Hey GBH you should do garage built t-shirts! Black t shirt with white lettering!! And charge like $15-$20 shipped! I would buy one for sure! Let me know what you think?
Hey john was just wondering about wether the stock booster and master cylinder are fine with the conversion or if they need to be updated aswell. Cheers
i know i’m late on this video but does anyone know or have tried 99 civic ebrake cables on a 89 crx hf about to do the swap but not sure if i need to rebuy the ebrake
ive been putting off doing the disk swap on my 91 even tho i already have the disk arms because i didn't want to drop the tank, but now that i can SEE you dont have too, might finally get to getting them installed. I Have one question tho, my arms have no handbrake cables and my OEM ones are cut, what cables do i need?
So basically, I could just order said acura parts online and slap it on my ED7? Also, is it possible to convert 4 lug to 5 lug hubs? Love your videos, you make these tasks less intimidating. Can I be your disciple?...Sensei!
Supp bro me again , so I found a 91 Acura and I was able to take the rear trailing arms and disk brakes ..my question is can I use my Si e-brake or do i use the ones from the Acura? Also what type of brake lines should I look for ?
Hey Jon, I know this is an old video but if you see this, can you tell me if I can attach the lines from the DA integra disks to the hardline on the body of a 90 civic hatch? I know you said to get stainless steel ones but I noticed that your lines were cut in the video and wasn't sure if you said to get stainless ones because of that.
Stainless isn't needed. The stock ones will fit. I always upgrade because those old rubber hoses start to crack and break and since I'm already disconnecting the lines, it just makes sense to replace them at that time.
hey Jon I was wondering what e brake cables you used as I have read the da cables are too long for the ef hatch and you have to route them differently can you shed some light on this subject?
Jeff Marquette I've used DA cables on both my hatchbacks, no problems. The cables are a little long for the CRX though but I've seen people loop them and they still work.
Hello There, First great video. Now, the real question. I have a 1997 honda Civic LX , and I would like to do a real disk conversion. What would you recommend regarding the parts need it to complete the job? I don't know from what year and model I can take the parts I need to make the conversion. This is my first Honda; well it's my daugther's car. Any info will help. Thanks, and keep up the good videos.
This it's a great video, very helpful. Though I have just one question. Can you keep the original e-brake cables, or is it a must to replace them? I ask the question because my EF LX came with the rear disc conversion already, but am having issues with my e-brake, I've adjusted it as much as possible from the center console but, really makes no big difference. Thank you!!!
You can't use drum cables, you need disc brake cables. They are not the same. You can purchase the cables brand new also if you want to try replacing them. You may want to see if the caliper is sticking where the cable is attached to it.
Was up Jon Ey great videos brother I have a question I have a 90 Honda Civic hatchback I have a 93 integra gs rear arms that Am going to install on my civic but my question is this will original break lines work just plug and play or do I need to get longer ones ..... now will my original e Brake cable on my civic will also work just plug and play or do I need to get another ones from a integra thanks
Loop them around underneath close to the gas tank. I've never done it but s good friend had it done on his crx. I want to see it but have never had the chance yet.
My trailing arms were on a CRX, but no idea what they came off originally. I want to change hub assemblies to freshen them up. Will all hubs, DA, EG, EK work on the rear disc setup?
Good question. I don't know. I believe there may be small differences to some unfortunately. Look up parts online and see if they are all interchangeable. That may help.
I’m have an issue that I think may be kinda related. When my 91 CRX Si sits for a bit the passenger side ebrake sticks and recently I noticed a rubbing noise that seems to be coming from the rear. Would this be a sign that I need to replace the brakes? Would the sticking mean I need to replace the cable too? Thanks.
I would clean and lube all the parts and see if that helps. Cleaner off all the corrosion on any of the slide pins and contact surfaces. If that doesn't fix it then possibly the caliper might be broken.
Hey there quick question. Can I use the same lower arms where the shocks go For a 88 crx The 89 and 88 and different rear shocks Can the lower arms be interchangeable? Or do I have to use the 89 si shocks too?
You only need the rears, but can get a set like these off eBay for about $60. The owner had searched eBay and found a set he liked. There are a lot of options.
Garage Built Hondas.. thanks a ton for the reply, I know the vid is a bit old. Currently wanting to do my 90 Hatch, and have everything but new bushings and the lines.
awesome vids! whats the geometry difference with rear da trailing arm/brake/hub on ef hatch? ive heard the hub sticks out further compared to oem ef assembly, but cant find out how much. (trying to plan ahead for wheel fitment.)
I'm doing this conversion now and for me there's no way in hell I'm getting those two bolts without pulling down the gas tank on top of that one of the bolts broke right off so I got to get in there with a drill and try to dig it out great video otherwise though I might be able to unscrew the tank a little bit give me some wiggle room and try again
I csnt remember which brackets. I think I removed the outer fronts, and swapped them from driver to pass and pass to driver and it worked. I should've recorded it but I've done a lot of seats this way.
Hey Jon I know for sure 92-00 civics and 94-01 integra RTA work and all interchange
Ronnie Gonzales
What all needs to be swapped out to make the DC Integra brakes work?
Same as in the video
I have trailing arms for a 93 si on my 95 Civic... do you think it will fit in my 2000 Civic ex? I rather have them on the EK
Yes
The 40/40 valve can be found off an integra ?

Which brake lines did you buy for your EF??
amzn.to/3fRYugu
For 88-91 ebrake cables that fit (CRX=short, DA=long) use 92-95 Civic Si or 93-95 Civic EX coupe (not sedan). They are the exact same length as the EF3/EF9 ebrake cable. The bolt brackets from the 88-91 HB easily swap over to the 92-95 cable and allows for a seamless install in the factory location.
Is there any other option for crx cables? A shorter option other than the 90-91 CRX SI cables that you know of?
So Civic ex sedan wont work for CRX?
They'll be long, but you can probably loop them a little. Watch this video to see how the DA cables fit on a crx. th-cam.com/video/hyq57nH9cHE/w-d-xo.html

Quick question how are the brakes going to work after the swap will it still be with the ebrake or do they work with the brake pedal?
This changes nothing for brake usage, everything still works exactly the same.
Always great dyi videos
Currently running eg trailing arms on my 89 si 👍🏾
+Toriano Smith awesome, thanks for the info!
Great diy video, seems so simple until you run into siezed bolts lol
Jdm Enthusiast very true!
Heat them! Then run ur impact rev then forward and keep going and they will normally get loose and come out! I work on cars in canada... so ive had my fair share!
Great tip!!
Take it slow with the heat and impact.
That's a quick way to strip the head or break the thing off.
Slow is safe
I used 90 Integra rear trailing arms and all of the brake lines and e brake cables both of them a hundred percent is the 40/40 valve from a different type of car because mine has it something that looks just like what you put in
All of these cars have the proportioning valve and they look identical, but they do not perform identical. It'll be stamped on the front of the valve.

I clicked on the discription for the stainless break lines I’m wondering if it’s still the same cause it says it doesn’t fit my car
What's your "car"?
So does it have to be the 92-00 Civic ex or can is be an lx version of the car
Ex. LX doesn't have rear discs.
Great video. Very informative. Keep these great videos coming.
Felix Rodriguez I'm trying!!
Does the Integra DA e-brake cable work or does it have to be from a CRX Si?
Why does everyone keep using the stock factory 40/40 prop valve? They sell aftermarket ones that are adjustable for race cars.
That bolt up like OEM fitment? Or do they require you to cut, bend, and flare lines?
Hello, I have a set of 1993 honda del sol rear trailing arms with disks. Will they fit on an ef hatch or 1987 - 1991 civic hatch?

Hi John ☺, will the 90-93 DA integra SS brake hoses fit the Civic's front brakes also? or do i have to buy 2 different SS brake hose sets?
Yes, they fit perfectly!

It'll still work fine...if you're not racing the car on track it won't be an issue. If you are, look into the 90-91 Civic ex. It's a 15/16" size.
The only problem with using the 90-93 Integra rear trailing arms is it widens the rear track.
Only a problem if you race, if you don't it's not an issue. And even then it's a minimal difference. You can easily fit 7" - 8" wide with 205 or 225 on both. I'm speaking from track experience using both DA and non DA sets.
It's a reman from autozone. I was just wondering if you think it had anything to do with the trailing swap or just a coincidence that it might be a defective part from autozone
More than likely coincidence. But they're parts can sometimes prematurely fail.

In case no one mentioned in the comments; ideally you want 94-01 Integra arms as 90-93 will widen the track. Of course 88-91 Si are ideal as well.

hey Jon I was wondering what e brake cables you used as I have read the da cables are too long for the ef hatch and you have to route them differently can you shed some light on this subject?
Jeff Marquette I've used DA cables on both my hatchbacks, no problems. The cables are a little long for the CRX though but I've seen people loop them and they still work.
Hello There,
First great video. Now, the real question. I have a 1997 honda Civic LX , and I would like to do a real disk conversion. What would you recommend regarding the parts need it to complete the job? I don't know from what year and model I can take the parts I need to make the conversion. This is my first Honda; well it's my daugther's car. Any info will help. Thanks, and keep up the good videos.
The info listed in the video would work for your car.
This it's a great video, very helpful. Though I have just one question.
Can you keep the original e-brake cables, or is it a must to replace them?
I ask the question because my EF LX came with the rear disc conversion already, but am having issues with my e-brake, I've adjusted it as much as possible from the center console but, really makes no big difference.
Thank you!!!
You can't use drum cables, you need disc brake cables. They are not the same. You can purchase the cables brand new also if you want to try replacing them. You may want to see if the caliper is sticking where the cable is attached to it.
Much appreciated guys, I'll jack up the car and remove them completely, to see what's the issue.@@GarageBuiltHondas
So does the new brake hoses mount straight up to the car with no mods?
Yes
No, they are long enough. But drum lines are different than disc lines.
YW!
what brake lines did you use since you can't use the ones for the drums? The crx is brake lines, lines for the DA, or some other option?
We used DA on this car. You need CRX SI cables for a CRX. That's the only exception.
Was up Jon Ey great videos brother I have a question I have a 90 Honda Civic hatchback I have a 93 integra gs rear arms that Am going to install on my civic but my question is this will original break lines work just plug and play or do I need to get longer ones ..... now will my original e Brake cable on my civic will also work just plug and play or do I need to get another ones from a integra thanks
You'll need both the brake lines and ebrake cables from the Integra! Yours will not work.
Garage Built Hondas Ey Jon you don’t have some for sale ....
No
Garage Built Hondas how long did it take you to complete....
It took me about 4 hours but that's with filming and doing to 40/40 valve and front brake lines.
So I have a crx and I was curious if you knew how to make a DA e brake cable work. Due to the increased length.
Loop them around underneath close to the gas tank. I've never done it but s good friend had it done on his crx. I want to see it but have never had the chance yet.
My trailing arms were on a CRX, but no idea what they came off originally. I want to change hub assemblies to freshen them up. Will all hubs, DA, EG, EK work on the rear disc setup?
Good question. I don't know. I believe there may be small differences to some unfortunately. Look up parts online and see if they are all interchangeable. That may help.
@@GarageBuiltHondas yeah, there are differences. May have to see if there are PN's on bearings that can cross-reference. Thanks for your response.
No prob, good luck. I'd personally take the parts off and take them to an auto parts store and check them against product they have in stock
Nice vid man 😍
I’m have an issue that I think may be kinda related. When my 91 CRX Si sits for a bit the passenger side ebrake sticks and recently I noticed a rubbing noise that seems to be coming from the rear. Would this be a sign that I need to replace the brakes? Would the sticking mean I need to replace the cable too? Thanks.
I would clean and lube all the parts and see if that helps. Cleaner off all the corrosion on any of the slide pins and contact surfaces. If that doesn't fix it then possibly the caliper might be broken.
Do I really need to remove all that?
Hey there quick question. Can I use the same lower arms where the shocks go For a 88 crx
The 89 and 88 and different rear shocks
Can the lower arms be interchangeable? Or do I have to use the 89 si shocks too?
Yes, you can use them on each other by swapping the rear lower control arms also.
Links or info on where to get the rear brake lines??
Also, only need to change the trailing arm brake lines?
You only need the rears, but can get a set like these off eBay for about $60. The owner had searched eBay and found a set he liked. There are a lot of options.
Garage Built Hondas.. thanks a ton for the reply, I know the vid is a bit old. Currently wanting to do my 90 Hatch, and have everything but new bushings and the lines.
You're welcome, I like to think these DIY videos I make will stand the rest of time!
awesome vids! whats the geometry difference with rear da trailing arm/brake/hub on ef hatch? ive heard the hub sticks out further compared to oem ef assembly, but cant find out how much. (trying to plan ahead for wheel fitment.)
Unsure precisely. Probably like 7-10 mm
I need to replace the trailing arm bushings on my '99 Civic LX. Can you tell me which ones you bought & where you bought them?

I'm doing this conversion now and for me there's no way in hell I'm getting those two bolts without pulling down the gas tank on top of that one of the bolts broke right off so I got to get in there with a drill and try to dig it out great video otherwise though I might be able to unscrew the tank a little bit give me some wiggle room and try again
Ouch. You might want to just drop the tank. It might save a lot of time and headache. th-cam.com/video/UOrw15qOLHI/w-d-xo.html
Also what brake lines should I buy
What modifications did u do to fit the usdm type r seats in that ef. Just the back rail leg is the only that doesn't line up right?
I removed a couple brackets and rewelded them into place.
@@GarageBuiltHondas awesome! Thanks 👌
Same name as my channel here. 👍
I csnt remember which brackets. I think I removed the outer fronts, and swapped them from driver to pass and pass to driver and it worked. I should've recorded it but I've done a lot of seats this way.
Can i use a 4040 portion valve off a dc integra or does it have to be off a da?
That one should work. As long as it has the same configuration for the brake lines you'll be fine.
I have an 99 ek b20 swap I’m going to awd do you know how long of a drive shaft that would be
No idea. I don't have any experience with awd Hondas.
Great video I’ll be using this in the near future
+eric baynard thanks! 👍
94-01 integra works too??
Yes
@@GarageBuiltHondas thanks man you are the best👍💯
