Things Needed:

GSR Rear Trailing Arms
GSR Rear Brake Calipers
GSR E-Brake Cables or Civic SI
Civic SI GoodRidge SS braided brake lines or OEM Brake Lines
AEM High Performance Rear Brake Pads (for 94-00 Teg) or OEM Teg Brake Pads

Cost
Trailing Arms = Various (Got mine for free!!)
AEM Brade Pads = $40
Goodridge Brakelines = $120
New Civic Si Ebrake Cables = $60
Having Disc Brakes Instead of drums = $Priceless

***You can also go to this website for alot of stuff, they have VERY good prices***

Tools Needed

Torque Wrench
Standard Metric Wrench Set
Flatblade Screwdriver
Brake Fluid

***I would Reccomend if you get used Trailing arms and they look like crap get a chisel and scrape all that undercarriage over spray off and sand down the trailing arms and paint them with a high gloss black high temp paint. It makes them look brand new check mine out***

Before:


After:


This is what awaited me when i woke up at 10:30am




Here is the parts i used

-My Nicely Painted Trailing arms from a 94-00 Integra GSR


-AEM High Performance Rear Brake Pads


-Civic SI GoodRidge Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

Now To the brake swap...

1st Step
-Loosen your lug nuts on the first rear wheel you plan on working on...


-Jack the vehicle up with a jack and secure it with jackstands
-Take off your wheel and you will see something like this: (man those things are ugly)


-Next Loose up all 5 bolts on the Trailing arms which is
1. Upper Control Arm 14mm
2. Lower Control Arm 14mm
3. The 2 bolts that hold up the trailing arm 17mm
4. The one one the very end 14mm, not the compensating arm..if you remove that you will need an alignment cause your toe wiil be WAY OFF!!

Pic:


-Next Remove the Rotor from the GSR Brakes (removing the 2 screws on the rotor) and remove the ABS Unit from the Disc brake (since our cars are not equiped with it) Pic:


-Next Take the GSR trailing arm and bolt it up with the ones you removed from the drum TA

pic: (ahh thats better)


-Now that you have the new TA's in i would suggest since you have the rotors off go ahead and remove some of the rust off the rotor (if you have used parts)...

-Now install the caliper and brake pads...bolt everything up

-Route the e-brake cables to the correct bolt and pull them through this little hole..
pic:


-YOUR ALMOST THERE!!

-Now install the brake lines and make sure everything is tight and put everthing back together

The Finished Product:


The aftermath:


My Puppie!!!!


***Brakes have to be bled once you install new lines or OEM ones, you may want to get someone who is experienced to do this, or has done it before, because your brakes are not to be taken lighty they make your car stop***

if i missed anything please tell me, this is my first DIY write up...hope this is helpful to all!!

After reading this and preparing my own rear-disc setup, I wanted to add, that depending on your model, you will need some more parts and add in clarification-

1) For 92-00 Civics and Del Sols use parts from:
91-01 Integra (bushing is different in the 91-93, thats it)
92-95 and 99-00 Civic Si
92-95 Civic EX sedans/coupes with optional discs
93-97 Del Sol Si/Vtec

2) For 88-91 Civics and CRX use parts from:
90-93 Integra
88-91 CRX SI

3) Extra Parts Needed:
96-00 EX will need only the proportioning valve from a 99-00 SI
96-00 LX,DX,CX will need the Brake Booster, Master Cyl. (EX/SI/integra 94-01), and the proportioning valve (SI)
92-95 all models (Minus EX sedan and coupe w/ optional rear disc and civic SI) can use the same parts above but from either a 92-95 EX sedan/SI hatch, 93-97 Del Sol SI/Vtec, or 94-01 Integra (any model)

Not changing the prop valve can cause the rear discs to lock up (because the drums you previously had needed more pressure for stopping)...I personally believe that this is crutial to the swap...as important as the rotors and pads themselves.
