I believe so. Need to reuse the lower control arms.

Should work fine, I'm in the process of doing that now as well. Like Sti said, use your civic lca's, and the trailing arms should be the same too, so you should be able to re-use those as well (although using the dc2 arms is less work/easier to swap, assuming you got those). Hopefully you got brake lines w/ your dc2 disks, I had to buy a set for mine.

do one side at a time so it cocks sideways to one then the other should even out

Weird, I thought as long as you used the line that came w/ the brakes it would fit right. If they're not long enough maybe you need to get civic SI e-brake lines?

I haven't done my brake swap yet so I might be in the same boat :(
(I've got the teg lines as well).

You might need to go under the car and remove the cables off the rear calipers to install the e brake handle.
I had some that wouldn't give any slack until you removed cables(on caliper) first.Try it and see if it helps.You should be able to reinstall the caliper cables easily when you get it together.

i had no problems installing my brake lines and i had the same deal ej6 with a dc rear disks, you just have to use the force.
