Please assure me I understand this correctly
OK....I have spent hours reading all the archived posts on brake swaps to try and answer my own question. Even though this may be a repetive question, I am still a little unsure on a few things on my specific swap and hoped you guys could set me straight!
<U>The Setup and Plan:</U>
I have a 94 CX hatch with GSR front swap and now wanting to swap the rear drums to disc.
I have the rear components from the 94 GSR (w/ABS) to swap with.
<U>The Uncertainty and Confustion:</U>
Considering the all around brake conversion, I am not too sure about the Master cylinder, Brake Booster, and Prop. Valve.
Should I change these from my stock civic?
If so, can I use all of these from the 94 GSR?
If not which years and ratios (iam a little confused w/ 40/40, 30/30, 15/16, etc)
[B]<U>The Assurance:</U>[B]
Please also assure me I understand this correctly:
1. I should use the civic arms.
2. I should use the 94 GSR brake cables.
Thanks for the help and please excuse my ingnorance, as I am still learning

Re: Please assure me I understand this correctly (prennro)
Get the 40/40 prop valve get the master cylinder and power brake booster from a GSR just make sure the lines are on the same side as the ones on your civic. For the rear disk brakes. Swap every single thing from the integra on it including the integra cables and trailing arms. They all bolt up perfectly. As for the front knuckle assemblies they bolt up perfectly as well. If you are wanting to use the front sway bar you will also have to swap out the lower a-frame. Piece where the front GSR sway bar bolts up to. If you have any other questions just let me know. Oh and on the Master cylinder get the Integra RS (15/16th's) or the Type R (1 inch).

Sweet!
I have already done the front swap. After a serious realignment, things are great. I will keep you posted after I do the rear. Thanks for the info

i running full gsr brakes all the way around with a 30/40 prop valve (non-abs 4 wheels disc) and 15/16" MC off a 91 civic ex 4dr ($60 remanufactured). your stock MC will not work well with the 4 wheel disc setup imo. i had the stock MC on there (93 CX, 13/16") and i had to push the pedal almost to the floor to stop normally. if you choose to go with a integ MC, you must use a integ booster also.
