Default Hmotorsonline brake swaps

This question is for those that have purchased the brake swaps from Hmotors.

What did they come with? Did the fronts include the steering knuckles? Did the rears include the trailing arms?


Thanks.

I would assume they come with the entire hub assembly and trailing arms in the rear since those parts are the essence of a "brake swap".

Wow, why didnt I think of that?

If the answer was so simple I wouldnt have asked the damn question.

I am unable to make personal calls from work.

Thanks Litterbox, yeah I guess that would be correct huh? God I hate getting up at 5 AM. Any idea on the fronts?

Fronts: Comes with everything from the spindle down. (includes hub assembly, rotors, calipers, pads, lower ball joint) everything is bolted together so all you have to do is disconnect your upper control arm, lower ball joint, axle and tie rod end and you just swap in the new fronts.

Rears: Comes with everything you need bolted together.(rotors, calipers, pads) The meat of it is the trailing arm which connects to the subframe of your car. The upper and lower control arms connect to the trailing arm.

They also should come with e brake cables for the rear.

This is everything that should come with a brake conversion.

But you also will need the appropriate master cylinder, brake booster, and proportioning valve.

Any other questions, just aim me.

Thanks, I have done the teg brake conversion before so I know how to do it, except for last time I had a friend parting out his Teg and I had first dibs on what I wanted, this time I am not so fortunate and thats why I wanted to know if Hmotors would have the TAs and the knuckles included in there packages. I just need a BB, M\C and prop valve from a non abs teg and some SS lines for a teg and I should be good to go.

Thanks for all your help.

Seems like you know what you're doing. Good stuff.

I'd recommend getting a 1 inch MC off any 98+ teg. You'll have to bend one line and reflare the 12mm fitting (your civic has 10mm fittings on their brake hard lines) but it'll be well worth it. I've got that setup on my car and it's badass.

If you do not feel like replacing your Brake Booster, and bending/flaring your brake lines, I suggest you just get the 15/16" master cylinder from a 91 Civic EX 4dr. It will bolt directly to your existing brake booster, and will match up perfectly to your existing lines. Also the 91 EX 4dr is the only civic with integra brakes, so you know your getting the proper size brake master cylinder.

If you buy a remanufactured MC from the parts store, just make absoloutly sure they give the correct one. Alot of times they get other Civic & Integra ones mixed up. The integra ones won't bolt to your brake booster, and the other civic ones are either 13/16" or 7/8" (you need 15/16"). Double check it the first time, and you won't have to go back & exchange it...

The only other thing you'll need is a 40/40 or 40/30 proportioning valve. HMotorsOnline.com & ImportAutoSalvage.com usually have those in stock...
