brake probs
 

car 96 civic
old set up of stock brakes aka rear drums when brakes locked up on snow or pavement the back would lock up first

now new set up
95 integra brakes all the way around with 1inch teg master cylinder.
stock pads

now when i lock the brakes up the front locks up and the rear rolls
the brakes have been blead many times so i don't think that there is air in the lines.
i was wondering what the problem could be or if there is anything i can do like auxilary proportioning valves that would leave me do some brake tuning?

96 civic dx and 99-00 civic si proportioning valves are the same part number
92-95 civic rear drums proportioning valves are 30-30 and rear disc are 40-40 what ever that means but the 96-00 drum and rear disc are the same part number.

seems weird sto me though

But this is a good thing. You generally want the front to lock up first. If you lock the rear first, you're basically out of control, and the car is likely to quickly be pointing in a direction you don't want to go. If you lock the fronts, the car goes straight until you can get off the brakes and regain control.

Now if your rear brakes aren't working at all, that's another story.

Get a 99-00 Si prop valve from honda. drums suck and have a tendancy to lock up, dont be supprised if your new disks stop you better rather than locking up and throwing the arse end everywhere...

This should take care of any other questions

if your sig is correct then that h22a will also change your braking a bit. you are going to have more weight transfer to the front. The only way to address this would be to get stiffer springs in the front, or coilovers and adjust the ride height to reduce weight transfer to the front.

i don't have teh h22 i have a b16 now so that isnt' theproblem.

i dida track time event last year on the new brakes and the fronts seemed to get kinda hot this is another reason i want to fix this.

who makes the auxilary proportioning vavles is it fastbreaks?
