Default CRX rear disk swap

A buddy of mine has a wrecked 90' Integra Ls in his yard, I recently pulled the rear disk brake assembly with the intension of putting on them on my 91 CRX Hf. Im positive that I have everything needed, trailing arm, e-brake line, etc.

I haven't put them on, so I dont know what to expect as far as braking respons. One thing I am concerned about though, is will I need the Integra Master Cylinder? or any other brake fluid delivery component from the Integra, in order to make this swap a complete success.

If anybody has some info on this, please share. The City keeps nagging my friend to get the car out of his yard, so I need to know before its too late.

Ask your buddy what size the master cyl is. it should be stamped somewhere on the metal.

my 88 CRX Si has a 13/16
the 90 Si I got parts from had a 15/16.

you might also need the soft part of the brake lines.

check out my webpage for details on a rear disk swap.

oh and was it an ABS car? if it was you cant use the master cyl or the prop valve. so youll have to find another teg to tear a-part.

I'm not sure it was an ABS model, all I know is that its a 90' LS. I'll look into the map lights/rear view mirror.

Well it's not an ABS model. I think I will remove the master cylinder and anything else that might be useful, just to be safe. Oh and Onyx, sorry guy but the maplights/mirror are already gone

i did integ rear disc on my 89 crx si. if you dont take the master cyl and prop. valve your brake pedal will fade real bad. overall my opinion on it is leave your brakes alone if theres nothing wrong with them, its not worth the hassle and busted knuckles. also the ebrake cables are way to long and you have to kinda stuff them up under the gas tank or however way you want to rig it. have lots of wire ties handy.

would it be easier to use the e brake cables from a 90-91 civic si since they arent as long as the integra and put that on the CRX?
