Re: Rear disc brake swap questions for my eg hatch (j-D-m)
Since the search isn't working, I'm also interested in this info... Can somebody post a list of what parts are needed.
Also for front GSR brakes, do i need integra knuckles? I have a set of GSR calipers I'd like to reseal and throw on.

All the rear brake parts are direct bolt in swap. Disconnect the trailing arms, the 2 bolts on the upper arm, and the lower arm and drop the whole thing down.
Switch your suspension parts onto the GSR parts and bolt the new stuff back up. While its down might be good idea to add some new bushings if they are worn.
It depends on which MC/PB you got if it will fit. 90-93 RS or 90-95 (i think) are the 15/16" PB/MC that will bolt up and you wont have to bend new lines for. Some others will fit but need new lines bent and others fit at a different angle so the MC doesnt sit verticle. The Disk swap itself should take less than a day though.
Good luck and enjoy the superior stopping power.

It should say 15/16 or 1" on the mc. crv ones work with it also. After swapping, get a wheel alignment done. Just to be sure. hope that helps

Thanks, hopefully this all goes well. luckily i have changed my whole suspension already, so i have had those lower control arm bolts out, Man, i have had som many problems taking those out on other hondas i have had, it seems liek they lock tight them from the factory?

you only need the bb/mc upgrade when swapping your front discs. Just dont swap the master cylinder until you have the right brake booster. For the rear, just put in the new proportioning valve when adding the discs. I would suggest doing front and rear at the same time, due to the obligatory alignment when you are done.

anybody have front GSr brakes for sale? i have the master cylinder already, dont wnat it to go to waste, If i swap over the fronts as well, is it that much of a difference in braking power compaired to Stock CX civic hatch front discs, and GSr rears? the car isnt too heavy.

You can expect a decent increase in braking performance. Thats all I will say since i haven't had any first hand experience with it hahah.
