It helps to know what kind of car you have. But if its a 92+ civic, then just swap the whole front knuckle with brakes and all attached onto your chassis and swap the whole rear trailing arm with calipers and rotors onto your chassis. Depending on what year your car is exactly, you will want the integra mc and prop valve as well.

Duh, i forgot to mention that.
94 Civic EX Coupe. do i need the prop valve/MC everything else is bolt on right? what about ebrake cables and brake lines?

Doesnt your car already come with 4 wheel discs? They should be the same as gsr if I am not mistaken. Then again, I have never owned an ex before. If not, the brakelines will bolt right up if you use the gsr lines and the ebrake lines as well. If your car does not have abs, use an integra RS prop valve and a 94-97 integra mc.

it all bolts up for the most part. you may have to change your prop vlave which will bolt right on. the teg GS or RS MCs will work incredibly well, they are 15/16. if you use the GSR one you have to change some fitting and all kinds of annoying things like that. oh word of warning, prop valves do fail. be picky about it. the one originaly i got when i did my swap was faulty and caused the brakes to lock up and then alternately drag and all kinds of retched problems. the GS/RS integra valves have the same mounting points as your car. the del sol valvs don't. also clean the hell out of your MC, make it spotless. it's pretty easy for grunge in the MC to get into the lines and the prop valve and that will cause it to fail as well.

The only non-ABS M/C from the 1994-up Integra is the RS.

The LS, GS, GS-R, and Type R all have ABS and line bending and/or flaring is necessary to get them to work right.

First of all you need to look on your own master cylinder and tell us what the stamping on it is. It's probably already a 7/8ths being a 1994-1995 EX.

The only way the 1994-1995 EX has 4-wheel discs is if it had ABS already.

So what M/C do you have?

haloseven

then i guess i have 4wheel discs, cuz i have abs, i was always informed i didnt. thanks for the help. so i guess i can buy an AEM big brake upgrade kit, unless someone has something bad to say about it?

If you don't know the difference immediately between drum brakes and disc brakes, there's a problem.

As far as I know, 92-95 EX's came with ABS. They came with 2-wheel discs, but there was a rare optional 4-wheel disc option.
