Check for the "4040" stamp on the prop valve

Re: ef rear disc brake swap
 
I got both the 4040 and the 3540 but I wanna keep my booster and run the 1516 master clyinder

need to find an EX mc if you want to keep your booster.

Re: ef rear disc brake swap
 
Well I got two a 91 ex mc and 90 si mc so it don't matter if I use the 3540 valve

Re: ef rear disc brake swap
 
you can use the 3540 if you don't want to install the 4040

he can but will definitely go thru rear pads fast.

Doesn't the 3540 valve shoot a bit less fluid then the 4040. Why will waste the rear pads faster

Re: ef rear disc brake swap
 
why would the 3540 wear pads faster? it's sending less pressure to the rears, so technically wouldn't the rears last longer? and the car would be more front biased?

Re: ef rear disc brake swap
 
if I use the 4040 will it lock up my brakes

Clipsed 11-24-2011 04:50 PM

Re: ef rear disc brake swap
 
Yes.

Re: ef rear disc brake swap
 
So the best way to go is the 3540
Can I use my stock camber arm?

Clipsed 11-24-2011 10:03 PM

Re: ef rear disc brake swap
 
You will only use the trailing arm itself, all the arms will need to be from your civic.
