i did search and could not find this out.
do i need different brake lines for the rear when going from drum to disc??
i know i need a prop valve but i want to know if i need to order the lines.
thanks
andy

 

You don't need the proportioning valve, it is just beneficial. You also don't need any new brake lines.

 

wow. fond this while searching for something else.

wrong. all worng. you DO need new brake lines (drum ones wont fit) and new parking brake cables.

 

I'm doing this swap this weekend. Who's right about the brake lines???

 

You need new soft lines for a car with rear discs. The fitting is different for wheel cylinders vs. calipers.

As mentioned, you'll also need new e-brake cables.

 

Also make sure that if your using Integra rear parts to re-use the front lower control arm dogbones from your car, integra ones are too long.

In the image below you can see the rear disc brake lines (#27) are one long flexible hose. The drum brake lines are 2 parts made up of a short flex line (#28), and a short solid pipe (#11 & #7). There is no way to make the drum lines attach to the caliper...

 

Awesome, thanks for the info.

does anyone know what size / length steel lines I should get? Or should I just get the factory rubber ones?

 

If your gonna buy lines, get ones that match the caliper your using (some mount different). If you know what car your swap came from, order them for that car. As for the lenght, I don't know what you mean. Are you gonna try to make your own custom brake line or something. Your better off just ordering ones from a company that makes complete brake line kits.

Stop tech makes really nice SS brake line kits (seen here) that have a clear coating outside the SS cover. This keeps dirt from getting between the braides & wearing on the teflon tube inside. They also sell the front & rear separately which is nice...

 

to everyones info. all is correct. a big thing to ensure proper fitment and alignment is to use the compensator arms that are already on the car. i used the da ones and they were too short so i had uncorrectable toe-in. also, make sure the new trailing arm bushing it in decent shape.

-spenc...lovin my new rear disc

 

I’ve done two of these swaps, both on 90 hb’s discs from 95 teg w/ abs. you don’t need the pro valve but it sure makes a difference. The lines work fine. And the emergency brake cables bolt up too. I have pics of this swap in my sig. Hope this helps.

 

I just did the swap this weekend on my 88 DX Hatch, but I used 89 Civic CRX Si rear disc setup. Everything bolted right up except for the E brake lines which I will get from a G2 teg. The Civic CRX soft brake lines bolt right to the DX body lines and i also used the Civic CRX Si Prop valve for the rear disc. What a difference that made in braking as compared to the DX prop valve.

 

yea, i just did mine this past monday. 93 integra 4dr trailing arms, new e-brake cables, new 52385-sk7-n02 bushing and new pads. i have to go grab a prop valve and that will complete the rear brakes.

 

I have some rear disc for sale if anyone interested
