i have heard some people say yes and some say no but what i know from my friends car is that it is a good idea to upgrade both the brake mc and the prop valve to that of the integra...... good luck

I hear that you gain so much more from having the right prop valve for your combo but I wouldn't really know for myself I guess............

Soon though ...........

You really should get the proper valve... Theyre not that expensive, used, and not hard to install

Theres not as much of a problem using the original mc but using the prop valve with evenly distribute the brake fluid. the reason others use a different mc is because it holds more fluid but checking fluids every now and then isn't that bad

using the drum brake prop valve will simply keep the disks from working to their full potential. You may even loose a little braking action by going to disks with a 3030 prop valve.

If you have the front 10.25" brakes then get the 4040 prop valve.

for the $$ get the valve. 4040's go all the time for <$35

Some facts for hatchback owners....

92-95 CX, VX, DX
9.4" front discs
rear drums
13/16" master cylinder
30/30 proportioning valve

92-95 Si (non ABS)
9.4" front discs
9.3" rear discs
13/16" master cylinder
40/30 proportioning valve

94 Del Sol Vtec (non ABS)
10.2" front discs (small piston caliper)
9.3" rear discs
7/8" master cylinder
xx/xx proportioning valve

94-00 Integra (non ABS)
10.2" front discs (large piston caliper)
9.3" rear discs
15/16" Master Cylinder
40/40 proportioning valve

I can say, from experience, that the combo below works awesome on my 94cx hatchback:
9.4" front discs
9.3" rear discs
13/16" master cylinder
40/40 proportioning valve
