1992 Civic Brake Issues (need advice asap!!)
I have a 92 Civic LX with a 1993 Del Sol Rear disk Brake Conversion. The Brakes sometimes feel soft. Sometimes they work just fine and sometimes when I'm sitting at a red light, I can feel the brake pedal slowly go to the floor, I take my foot off the brake pedal and re-apply the brakes and all is well good some of the times.
I've never had any trouble with my brakes in situations where I had to slam the brakes or slow down really fast. Most of the issues are when I am idle. In the past 2 months, I had to change my rear brake pads TWICE as my rear passenger brake pads completely wore. I got the rear caliper and the rear brakes changed yesterday but it still seems like it's still 'catching' because when I am on a slight incline with the gear in neutral, my car doesn't even roll/drift backwards in certain situations -_-
Could all these issues be tied into one problem with my brake set-up?? I did some searching on google and I read somewhere I would need a 15/16 Integra Master Cylinder?? So what year and model Integra is that? I also read something about a 40/40 prop valve?
I don't know much about brake parts, set-ups etc. so hopefully someone can help me with my issues! I plan on taking a trip to a junkyard tomorrow so some advice on what I can look to get to fix my issues will be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Jeremy

Im not sure about integra...Im not sure if the booster is the same either...but I do know most integras have abs and that means the master is setup for abs...so if a 91 civic master will work and its 15/16 why bother looking for a integra one?

ok, I will try and track down a 91 Civic EX Master Cylinder! And what about the prop valve? Do I need this upgraded as well? Thanks for your quick reply!
