I've searched already and most of what I came up with was "How To" posts...I'm not too concerned, about how to do this project. I am concerned about fitment. I have a 95 Civic Lx sedan with a GSR motor swap and am needing a disc conversion. I just need to know from which donor car would best fit. I realize the setup from a 94-01 Integras will fit fine, but would any Civic Ex ('92-00)work as well? How about trailing arms from an Si? Or Del Sol?

All rear disc setups are the SAME.
The difference is in the cable length.
91-93 integra will work too (their bushing is just larger).

If you searched harder, you would know this

Your just gonna have to figure out what e-brake cables to get (92-95 4dr with ABS will work perfectly)...

Thanks a lot everyone, I figured the same...I just didn't want to make the mistake of buying and fitment didn't work.
Thanks again.

Another question...

I purchased the disc brakes, trailing arm and e-brake cables from a 94 GSR Monday. Yesterday, I cleaned them, bought and installed new brake pads and rotors. Today, I just spent 6 and half hours alone installing the setup. The brakes have no pressure (I have yet to bleed them), but I also hear that the proportioning value needs to be replaced from a car with four disc brakes. I know that 92-95 Si's and Ex's (with optional four disc brakes) have this, the question is: Will the valve from a newer car fit as well? Just curious because I can get the valve from '00 Si for free from a friend.

Thanks in advance.

An EM1 will have a 40/40 prop valve, but the lines might need to be bent. 94 Integra RS prop valve is what you need.

A 92-95 EX did NOT come with rear discs standard. It was part of an upgraded ABS option. Any car with ABS will not have a conventional proportioning valve. It only has 4 ports, and does not separate front fluid from rear. You need a proportioning valve from any of these cars listed here:

92-95 si (NON ABS)
94-97 del Sol Si or Vtec (NON ABS)
90-00 Integra (NON ABS)
90-91 CRX Si should work too I think...

The prop valve from any 96-00 civic will not work since it's a completely different shape. You could have your lines bent to fit (mabey), but it would cost more than the correct valve.

You can drive around without switching your prop valve, but your brake balance may be set excessivly forward. All this does is reduce stopping distances, but won't make the car dangerous or anything. I recomend getting the correct valve now, so you don't have to re-bleed your brakes again later. It will take a long time to get all that air out too. If you bleed properly, your pedal should be rock hard with the car off. Some people leave air in the lines, and think the soft pedal feel is from too small of a master cylinder, but this is not true. If your pedal is soft, check for any leaks and re-bleed all the lines till you see NO micro bubbles in the bleed tubes.

Thanks for the info! I got that valve from the '00 Si from my friend and traded it at a local dismantler for free (I gots the hook-up). Anyway, I just installed it today and will bleed it accordingly tomorrow. I had to work, so I couldnt finish the project today.

Thanks again for everyone's help!
