yes the arms themselves are the same, but the hugs and brackets are different.

im not sure if you can just remove the drum hubs and pop on disc hubs and call it a day, i think some holes are different... not sure, go pioneer it!

Thats what I thought, It actually looks like a T-55 or maybe even a T-60 to me, but I wont argue if you know what youre talking about. Thanks

the studs matches up to my other one, and the location of the lines are the same, I am waiting for some help to bleed the brakes, before I swap it out, wish I have one of those one man bleeders.
I have no access to itr parts, but when I do I will swap again

NO. The weight is transferred to the front making the rear lighter. It's called dynamic weight transfer. Back in the days when rear wheel drive cars ruled the rally seen, some rally drivers used this method to help slide the cars around long corners. I've found that this method works good on front wheel drive cars also but, it takes a lot of practicing.

I dont think the teggy will bolt up without changing lines and booster, stick with what you have that 15/16 will be from a prelude or 90-91 ex 4dr, they work perfect. If you find the pedel a little hard to push get a booster from a 92-95 civic si with 4 wheel discs,or the ex they are 9-5/8's.

or even a 92-95 4 door with abs. saw one at the junk yard with everything still attached with a 15/16 master cylinder. I've got some brand new hubs that my buddy sold to me for $30 for both genuine honda yO! maybe i should go snag the calipers if it works
