Well, I made a thread in the CRX/EF civic section, but since this is also a general car question, and there is a broader band of people "in the know" in this section, I thought I'd make a thread here too.

I swapped all the disk brakes from a DA integra on to my 89 civic and everything was pretty smooth. I also installed SS brake lines. I haven't installed the "4040" proportioning valve yet.

I can drive the car, but I can feel the brakes staying on. When I get out, I can smell them. I tried opening the bleeder valves and screwing the rear caliper piston into the caliper, but it only helped for about 1/2 a day.

It got sooo bad yesturday that I blew a head gasket on the interstate trying to over come the brakes !! The HG is no problem, but I do need to know how to fix my brakes....

Here's a copy of the other thread if your interested https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1088795

 

New calipers? If they are stock of the DA they could be frozen

 

Are the front or rear brakes sticking? You might want to check you ebrake cable to see if it's too tight.

 

the front are sticking too. There's no way the rear brakes have enough strength to stop a 200hp civic against its will. Plus the fronts smoke too, hehe.
