Just picked up some gsr rear brakes today. Got the entire trailing arm assembly (e-brake lines inc.), LCA's, integra 40/40 prop valve, and 1" BMC. And here's where I run into problems, it would still be a problem either way, so im just trying to figure out what would be less of a pain in the ***. The integra BMC as you may know, is different from the civic's in design, so:

1. Can I swap a DC/EG Brake booster to my Ek and not have any problems? or

2. Just dish out the cash, and buy an SI Brake Master Cylinder? or

3. Is it possible to retro the DC Brake Master Cylinder onto the EK Brake booster? or

4. Just keep my stock DX Brake Master cylinder? or

5. Forget the whole P.O.S. idea and get a EG cuz you've always wanted one anyway and the swap would be a lot easier?

For what you're doing, I'd just swap the booster and use the rest. You probably want to get 99-00 Si e-brake cables, I've done this swap and the DC cables were a little long on my CX.

Swap the booster to a DC/EG 9" booster? will that work on my car? cuz I dont know.

v.i.gsr

the 98-01 gsr bmc is a 1" and works on the ek without modifications...

booster works its a pita to make it go in with stock motor u have to compress the booster thing that goes to the brake pedalto make it go in,

don't waste your time swapping the booster or the mc if you are keeping the stock front brake setup. The booster needs to match the m/c. Moving to a larger one will just mean that you lock up your brakes easier which isn't a good thing. It will require you to modulate the pedal better.

I want to do the same to my ek with the conversion kit.
If i get the trailing arms from a gsr, do I need to swap the LCA as well???
I already have srr LCA with the swaybar already done which would go to waste?
let me know HT brothers
thanks

to above, you need to use the LCA from your car, ( meaning use the ek one , not the DC/eg one ).

Everything else will bolt on fine.

Romo Pyro

true, just finished mine, used stock ek lca's and it bolted up just fine.

When would you suggest upgrading to the GSR or Type-R m/c and booster? I am looking to upgrade my front brakes, pads and rotors, and it was recommended that I upgrade to the perviously mentiond parts. I have a '98 Honda Civic EX.
