Default Gsr fronts brakes on EG

I just swapped gsr fronts and some ss lines on my eg. And the pedal travels way further then before. I bleed the hell out of them. Do I need a new m/c?

you need a civic ex or integra m/c and a 30/30 or 30/40 or 40/40 prop valve.

That's odd, I did a similar brake swap in front as well as a rear disc swap on my hatch and did not need any of those things. My pedal travel feels fine. Are you sure you bled the brakes properly?

Also, I just recently read you should not hold the pedal all the way to the floor when bleeding, because it can dislodge foriegn matter into the system.

Both are right above, what model civic do you have? You also could have blown the MC when bleeding the brakes.

you might need an integra RS brake booster as well. i heard the LS and GSR will work with modifications.

well, i will do the brakes in a couple of days and i can tell u after when i got it done.

i just bought a whole set of GSR brakes. I m already running on GSR rear but still stock cx front

just bought some GSR front now, but i m not going to use the calipers and rotors.

Just also bought some ITR calipers and rotors and will bolt onto the GSR knuckle. Hope it works and not have the long travel either!

Bleed them again, sometimes it takes numerous efforts

bleed them with the car running. i tried bleeding with the car off for about 2 hours and they lines still had air in them. bled the brakes with the car on and the air was out of the lines in 15 mins
