Brake Swap on 96-00 Hatch
Which is the best way to go GSR or Si?
Can I use my stock brake lines?
Do I need to change the Master C and/or the P Valve?
(Does anyone know where to buy 5 lug conversions ?)
Thanks

ED2 is right they are identical, I have GSR all around with endless pads and slotted rotors, stock MC and prop valve, and my car stops on a friggin dime...

Cool - Does anyone know who has 5 lug conversions ?
Hey, so are the Integra LS brakes the same as the GS-R brakes? I just bought the rear LCA's & brakes from an LS. But for the front I heard I'd have to go with Si suspension/brake pieces because the Si spindle is shorter than the GS-R's, so I'd run into *positive* camber problems with the GS-R spindles unless I slammed the car, in which case I'd get near 0 camber. Good for dragging, but I want to be able run a little bit of negative camber for road racing possibly.
So should I hold out for some Si front suspension pieces? Or should I just go and get some front end Integra pieces. And do I need GS-R's or can I just use LS parts? TIA!

I am also curious about this front swap. I was also wondering if instead of using the SI or Integra front spindle, can you just use one from an EX with abs since it is the same caliper and rotor as the Integra? I will probably try it out and let you guys know.

The Si would be the better choice ONLY because of the rear emergency brake cables being the correct length.
Both will work finr though......
