Civic bit the curb.
 

So.... pretty positive I need a new trailing arm in the rear on the drivers side.... Cant I get one from the auto wreckers for a lower model and put my SI disk brakes onto it or do I have to find a SI one?

What are the chances that I also fucked up the LCA, and possibly the UCA? The UCA seems to have lots of bushing slop so I highly doubt I tweaked it. I hit the curb doing about 15km/h sideways by the time I almost saved it.

just do a integra disc swap

Integra trailing arms will work. You might have to use your caliper bracket if the rotors are different sizes. I can't reemember if they are or not. Si might be a bit bigger.

did u check the small piece that connects the end of the trailing arm to the chassis? whats what snapped when i hit a curb.....

nope same size rotors

Re: Civic bit the curb.
 

Check the spot where the LCA meets the chassis. Make sure the chassis isn't fucked up. My project car's is mad fucked up. I'm going to try to cut, and weld in a piece from another car. :l

yea I checked that location @ the front of the trailing arm. perfectly fine. The tire rubs on the trailing arm so thats the culprit. ------- garbage.

Can I swap everything from my trailing arm over to say a dx/cx with drums and to run disks or no?

have fun with the toe adjustment arm, that thing is a ------ bitch, on my conversion the bushing backed out and i had to use a cut off wheel to annihilate the thing, and then cut the bottom of the frame to put the little nut back in the guide that it bolts to. Horror. But hopefully you didn't ---- anything up too badly, and hopefully it all swaps over easily for you.

which is the toe adjustment arm? The top one? I got everything out super easy. Put some penetrating lube on all the bolts/nuts and that ---- backed out nicely. Now its finding another one nice. I can get a brand new one for 215... I'll see what the auto wreckers charge locally.

the top one is the compensator arm, the to adjustment is the arm that connects in the front
