'Bent', indeed silver!

I was thinking about the swap

Anyone got the info on the easiest way to do that ? Any graphical documentation like the previous would be so friggin sweet

Here's what the civic looks like (for now). got it for 500$. 3 sets of wheel (one are VW mag's). I think I bought it cause of the spoiler...

Again, I REALLY REALLY like what you guys did to help out!

Thanks RonJ. I've never seen the exploded view of the trailing arm. I thought it came off with the knuckle.

Looks like the car will need a lot of work. I'm sure it'll be worth more than $500 once it's all fixed up.

Look for a complete set of trailing arms off of a 94-01 Acura integra along with brake lines and e-brake cables. You will also need a proportioning valve off of the same integra and preferable a master cylinder with brake booster, but you can live without those two for a while. In the end of the day you'll be happy you did it. I and many others did it and were happy with results... nothing is more of an eyesore than drums in the back when you have a set of wheels that you can see through

^Actually, the integra 40/40 proportioning valve won't fit. I learned that the hard way. You've gotta have the 99-00 Civic Si prop valve.

Sure, it only bolts to one of the bolts on the firewall, but it fits. Of course you have to get one from a non-abs car.
