Newbie here. Been reading around and everone says it can be done. But I was just wondering if you can put 90-93 integra trailing arms (etc) on a 88 CRX SI and switch the rear shock to an Integra shock?
I ask because I found a deal on 91 integra TA's with everything and a 4040 prop valve for $150. But I notinced that the strut mounts are different on the lower arms. Also do I use the Integra brake cables or my Si ones? Thanks for help in advance.
Edited to add: "Only integra arm you want to use is the lower control arm. The upper control arm and front compansator arm you will use the crx ones because the integra ones are shorter."
Is this comment true?

All you will need is the trailing arm from the teg. As for the shocks the reason yours is differnt is because its an 88, they have differnt shocks than 89-91 civics. You will need differnt ebrake cables. There is an entire how-to on fourthgenhatch (http://www.fourthgenhatch.com)

Use the 88 LCA's they are the Type R of civics
Becides I dont think that you can use the integra shocks.
Use only the TA assembly in the swap.
I thought that with some "creative cable routing" you could use the integra ebrake cables.
The mounts are the same just longer so you need some where to stuff the extra.

Cool. Thanks for the info that cleared everything up in my mind. Ehh, I'm a cable guy for a living, I'm sure I can figure somewhere to stuff an extra 10' of brake cable if I had to.

by differnt I mean you have to either use 90/91 crx si cables or the teg cables.

I figured that's what you ment. Thanks again for the info.
