rear brake conversion help please..
well guys i did my research but just wanted to double check to see if i have everything in order. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I have 96 civic DX hatchback and have bought some 99 abs rear disk brake off an integra. As far as I know everything should plug and play except i would have to use the 99-00 civic si brake cables.
Am i suppose to use the integra brake lines or the civic si? ( and would they bold right up?)
do i have to replace any one of the parts below?
.99-00 Si master cylinder
.proportioning valve
.brake booster
Thank you

You should replace your prop valve, but some people will say you don't have to.
The integra e-brake cables will fit, but you may have to leave one of the brackets unbolted for them to reach your e-brake handle, thats what I had to do on my coupe.
You'll also have to cut the e-brake sensor plugs unless you want them dangling around youre brakes and wheels.

Yes, you do not require it.
Also, the 96-00 DX and the 99-00 Si (which came with rear disc brakes from the factory) share the same prop valve so you do not need to replace it. I did this swap in my old Sedan (DX) and my Hatch (DX) and I used the same prop valve with no problems. I also used the same brake booster because the DX and Si booster is the same, I did however use the 99-00 Si Master Cylinder.

Wow, I actually said e-brake sensors?
Fail.
You need 99-00 SI brake lines, I used Goodridge SS lines on my swap. They're pretty much the best way to go as far as SS lines are concerned.

Agreed, that is what I used.
