Hey guys, so I recently got a wrecked 96 vtir as an engine donor, and I was wondering if the rear trailing assembly will fit my EG sedan? I have searched on this topic, and I think I've gathered that it might be a possibility. so anyway, just wondering what people know for sure before I go and try.
yep..
And now for the long answer ...Quote:

Most of them come with lower control arms (LCAs) with the provisions to add a rear swaybar. Some of the 92-95 Civics had LCAs that didn't have provisions to add a rear swaybar. These are usually the lesser spec models. For example, the VTi has the rear sway bar; the Breeze didn't. If you want a rear sway bar then grab LCAs with the eyelet.
You will also need the handbrake cables associated with those rear discs. You cannot use your existing rear drum handbrake cables. Since each of the rear disc Hondas have different wheelbases and chassis configurations, go with the handbrake cables for the 92-95 Civic with rear discs. 94-01 DC Integra handbrake cables will also work.

Ok cool, thanks to both of you. So basically it is quite possible. Only thing, will I run into any issues using the EK handbrake cable, as its from a hatch, and the EG is a sedan? I don't actually know if the wheelbase is different or not or anything like that.
eg sedan brake disc cable should do the trick!
This thread is fairly old now, but just wanted to update in case anybody needed to know.
Swapped the entire rear trailing assy off the EK onto the EG no dramas whatsoever.
And in case anyone in the needs to know in the future, the handbrake cables on the EK fit PERFECTLY on the EG. Completely exactly perfectly bolt-in swap.

EDIT: forgot to mention, brake cable (the flexible line part) is also required, as the brake line to the drum WILL NOT fit the caliper.
top stuff :thumbsup::thumbsup:
