ej1 ex front brake upgrade to gsr calipers y?
so i have been reading up on what is necessary to upgrade my brakes all the way around. i have a 95 ex that had a d16z6 but i sold that and bought a jdm h22(not yet installed). i have been reading all the faq's on all the forums and doing searches. ive come to a few conclusions that i would like to confirm.
1st. the rotor size is the same between the eg ex and the gsr, but the gsr has bigger calipers. is this correct? if so is their a real benefit to adding these calipers. just because they are bigger does that always mean they are better?
2nd. i need to upgrade my proportioning valve to a 40/40. this is sourced either here in the classifieds(shameless plug) or from any integra non abs? is this correct?
3rd. i should upgrade my 7/8 ex master cylinder to either a 15/16 or a 1 inch master...1 inch is from a gsr not sure on the 15/16...if i buy a used one online are they marked so i know im not getting screwed?
4th brake booster should also be upgraded to a gsr. is their any others that will work? the gsr ones are expensive and hard to come by around here.
i already have delsol rear disk set up that is ready to be rebuilt with all new bushings and brakes. some clean up and paint. the only problem is the backing plates have rusted away to non existent, does anyone know of a source for these other than the dealer or junk yard?
thanks hope i have been clear with what im asking.
