not hard to do but any respectable brake place will do it for the hourly labour charge if u already have the parts

cant the disc brake rotors fit right on the existing trailing arm?

As far as I have read, they need to be replaced. Here is another link that I have looked at: http://www.hazone.com/hdiscswap.htm

is the trailing arm required only if the swap is done on gen 6th, what if its to be done on a 5th gen?

well if u go to a honda wrecker and ask for a set of rear brakes and trailing arm they should give u exactly everything u need.

just tell em what u want to do and they'll give it to you.
mine was like bol in bolt out easy as that
