rear disc conversion on an hatch
I have a 93' hatch...just swapped out the rear drums for the rear discs..not done due to the fact that i was missing the damn bolt that holds the hose to the caliper...
my question is that when i do finish this out...will i still need to buy the 40/40 valve a booster and master cylinder....will the pedal b spongy...

Re: rear disc conversion on an hatch
It would be beneficial if you did, at least with the prop valve. If not, then the front brakes would engage first and the rears might not.

Re: rear disc conversion on an hatch
you only need the prop valve. the pedal wont be that bad. i have run this mod with the stock 95 dx civic booster and M/C, and on a 91 CRX as well. but i can say that doing the 1" M/C and booster upgrade is worth it to me. also upgrading to ss/kevlar lines from the calipers to the hard line will increase the firmess of the pedal (i still need to do this) its not a need, but a want.

Re: rear disc conversion on an hatch
If your doing the rear only. The stock 3030 should be fine. Now if you decide to do the front also 10.4in rotor. I recommand installing a 4040.
