Questions regarding my ek dx hatchback rear disc conversion
hi, i'll be doing a rear disc conversion soon on my 00 dx hatchback. i got the swap kit and proportiong valve from importautosalvage.com, without the master cylinder. is it necessary for me to get a new master cylinder too(if yes, would the ex-nonabs one work?)? also can i use the original e-brake cable on my dx with the new setup? thanks.

you do not need to change your master cyl.
i didnt even change my porp valve. i just got 99-00 si rear disc's and trailing arms and bolted them up. never had a problem yet. brakes bettern then drum brakes.

Re: Questions regarding my ek dx hatchback rear disc conversion (opera936)
you need a ebrake cable for a disc brake setup the dx will not work
you don;t have to replace the master cylinder/booster but you should..
you can always do it later
you going to need master cylinder and brake booster for 99-00 si
integras ones might work just make sure the lines attach to the master cylinder in the same spots.and its from a non-abs car (all 99-00 don't have abs)
its varies year to year.. some will have the lines on the right or left or top in different combinations..

Re: Questions regarding my ek dx hatchback rear disc conversion (gezzuzz)
Civic EX and SI master cylinders are the same I believe. The older integra ones won't work but, the newer ones, newer than 96 I believe are a straight bolt on. I have a 00 Type-R MC I bought new from honda on my EK/EJ. It bolted right on. It's got the largest pistons of civic compatible MC's (1" I believe).
My research showed that the SI and CX/DX prop valve had the same part # from Honda so, I didn't bother swapping. I used E-brake cables from an 00 SI.

Ebrake cables is not mandatory if your swap came with ebrake cables already.

Re: Questions regarding my ek dx hatchback rear disc conversion (opera936)
For a rear disc conversion you don't need a MC/BB from an Si, stock is fine. Also, the stock prop valve is the same as the Si.
I used the same cables from the 99-00 Si in my 98 DX hatch and they worked just fine.
