Yeah. The funny part is, that wasn't what I was planning to do. I really discovered that you can do it that way by accident. I had purchased some rather rusty '92 integra trailing arms with calipers and rotors (rusted togther). I dismantled everything, had the trailing arms sandblasted and painted, and went to work with a grinder on the calipers and hubs myself. I also bought the prothane trailing arm bushings.
Well, when I had everything off and dismantled, I realized the trailing arm bushings I had were for the CRX. Turns out the trailing arms were from the 2-3 year span of integra that had a slightly larger tailing arm bushing than any other honda/acura. Both my CRX's and the integra stock trailing arm bushings were completely shot, and I didn't have time to wait for the right ones to came in. So in a desperate attempt to get my car back together, I took the hubs off my CRX's trailing arms and tried to fit the integra hubs on. Turns out they fit perfectly. I also used the integra e-brake cable even though they're too long. I've been considering buying 90-91 CRX Si e-brake cables and trying those on instead. I'm going to be putting on some new rims in the next week or so. When I do, I'll take some pictures and put them on my website with a little description of the process. -Kristian On 5 Dec 2002, Henry Bonath wrote: > And the hubs and calipers went onto your trailing arms? > that's pretty cool if that's the way you did it. > > -Henry > > On Thu, 2002-12-05 at 02:30, Kristian Hoffmann wrote: > > I did the swap using the rear hubs and calipers from a '92 integra.
