Bro!!
f*** me running!!! Sick coupe! Very jealous of your suspension...
Quick question, i have rear disk brakes on my hatch as well but the shell came with emwhen i bought it,
How can i make sure it was done correctly?
Well there is not a lot to look at but I first thing you need to know is all disk trailing arm assemblies are the same from 88-01 and 01 would only be the integra since it was its last year and 00 for the civic. Now the different are that a 4 dr integra will have a longer e-brake cable and that is what you want for the coupe if you don't want to buy new ones. Next is there are two mounting points for the cables under the heat shields so start there and look and make sure they are bolted. Next is there are only 5 bolts holding it on to the car, one on the LCA, one on the camber, 2 hold the trailing arm bushing and 1 into the chassis from the toe link. Now the toe link can get really out of whack fast during the swap. So make sure to have the car aligned as soon as possible if you don't want to tear up tires. Next thing I would look at is the brake lines and calipers, Do they look new or used? I went ahead not knowing how long the car had been sitting in the same place and replaced the calipers and the brackets for right around 170 from the local parts store and yes they are rebuilt nissin calipers. This is not my first go around I have been building cars like this for a while little over 10 years and done so many disc swaps on peoples cars. Also checking the wheel bearings is a good idea and if your not sure how to Google or take it undercarriage specialist. Some one that does alignments, ask around you might know someone or someone you know might know someone. If those need replaced you can do it on the car but it is just as easy to take them off and take them apart that is what I did when I got them. then inspect the trailing arm bushing cause these after so many miles are really not attached anymore, the drum set up i pulled them out with out any problem by hand just seeing how bad they were and my chassis has right around 200k on it.
So getting another step closer to being ready to start tearing it apart. Got the trailing arms done and ready to go on just waiting on brake calipers.
I hope that helps anyone, It took time to acquire all these parts and get someone to press the bushing in the right way. Each setup will be different all depends on what you want to do with the car. I want to put this car on the track and road racing and want s*** to be stiff. if you do street use using poly bushing in certain places like the trailing arms, and the sway bars will help but won't kill your comfort level.
