brake conversion
Sup Honda hobbyists. I have a question about brake conversion on a 97-98 Civic. I have a Civic EX with rear drums and have a set of 94-01 integra trailing arms. My question is can a 99-00 civic si rear caliper and bracket fit on a 94-01 integra trailing arm? If not then Id have to go with an integra set of calipers which leads me to the next question. Will a civic si 99-00 master cylinder, booster, and proportioning valve work with the rear integra calipers without any problems? Are LS, GS, GSR calipers all same as well? Thanks again.

Re: brake conversion
No, because the Integra brake cables at the rubber piece is a different type of design. The Si cables have independent rubber pieces cause there are two holes the rubber pieces cover when the cable goes into the passenger compartment. If you don't get the Si cables, you'll hear annoying wind sounds while driving.

Re: brake conversion
yeah they will fit. it isent a must too change the prop valve, iv did my rear disk conversion months ago and never did the prop valve, the prop valve limits the flow of fluid too the rear calipers/drums too prevent locking up, and in the 4 months iv done my disks the rears have never locked up in wet or dry roads, and i was delibriatly trying too lock them too see if they would lock in wet weather before????
