Default front brake upgrade on EK

whats up? heres my problem. i did a brake conversioin off of a 97 gsr. I bleed the brakes and got the air out of the system, then i went to drive it and my food fent to the floor. So i stopped driving it because i assumed theres still air in the lines. Today I breed the brakes again today and removed alot more air out of the system and then went to drive the car again once i did not see any more air in the line and it still goes to the floor. Its not spounge at all it just goes to the floor and at about the last second it works with no problem at all. Im stumped any ideas?

You changed the size of your calipers and kept the master cylinder the same size. This will change your petal feel. If the breaks work fine but at a lower petal position, I am guessing that this is your problem.

upgrade to a 98+ integra 1" master cylinder/brake booster.. direct bolt on for an EK without having to rebend lines.

the same thing happend o my gsr- take the master cylinder out (just unbolt the 2 bolts holding it on) and pull it away from the bosster and check for fluid leaking out the back. if there is none then it could be a front seal inside you MC. that is what happend on my car

no he is not, he means the 98-01 ITR master cylinder (ABS doesn't physically affect a master cylinder). You use only the master cylinder, not the brake booster. 100% bolt on.
