Ok, I'll see if I can find them somewhere then.

if its for a crx u are gonna need the crx si ebrake cable... u can either use everything off the crx si or just buy the cable and get it off a da

[onefst91hatch]

you can use a DA cable too.

you will need the 4040 proportioning valve. with out it you rear brakes will lock up right away.

So should I just try and get the entire rear trailing arm/brake set up from a 90-93 Integra then? I'll be going through either a dealership or maybe a junkyard for parts.

Wrong. the pedal will just be a lil lower. if you had a 40/40 prop valve and put drums on the rear maybe. but not the other way around. alot of people do this conversion with out doing the valve

weird when i did mine thats what happened switched it and worked fine?

[onefst91hatch]

you must have had a bad prop valve from the begining!

Will I need to put bigger wheels on to fit the rear rotors?I have 13in steelies right now.

[die in a dick fire noob]

as long as you have the same size rotors and calipers that you have in the front you will be fine. it's when you start getting oversized stuff you need bigger wheels. like the 11.2 big brake upgrades and stuff. cus you have 13's on the front too right? and if they fit there they'll fit in the back

Just a quick question. not trying to bash you or anything. but why do you want to put disks on the back with still having non upgraded brakes in the front? I personally put the integra front disks on my crx and left the drums in the back. Its such a light car that if i wanted to or had to i can still lock all 4 brakes up with little to no fade. Little known or realised fact but about 80% of your braking force is in the front. So unless you're really haulin ass and need to stop instantly i wouldnt really worry about putting disks on the back until your performance levels require it. But then again it could be for aesthetics then go right ahead.

Actually, I just want the discs for when I upgrade my wheels/brakes/suspension since my motor is going in sometime either this month or early next month.

That and I hate working on drum brakes, disc is just easier.
