My Current Proportioning Valve:



I just want to double check that I'm supposed to get a 4040 proportioning valve for my setup. How hard is it going to be to bend them lines?

Cheap(er) SS brake lines needed for a 99-00 Si. Found some for 124.99 on inlinefour.com but if I can get some cheaper, that would be great. 20 cool points handed out to whoever finds a cheap(er) set!

 

All I'm trying to do is just get rid of the sponginess that I'm feeling when I depress the brake pedal. I've bled the brakes already. I have a lot of life left on the pads. Maybe I'll resurface the rotors. See if the shop has time tomorrow. A reply would be appreciated!

Here....cheaper. Also better....the PVC coating protects the lines....most brake lines don't have that and sometimes they snap

 

Thanks man. Anyone know for sure about the 4040 proportioning valve?

 

Buddy, you need more than a new prop valve. You should replace all those lines in the engine bay. They are WAY to rusted and corroded. They won't cost more than $40-$50 brand new from honda. As far as the prop valve goes, I would get it, as well as a larger MC/BB (I suggest a 1") A non-ABS ITR will go in without any line bending or re-flaring. And if you get a 4040 from a 96-00 hatchback or 99-00 Si, you won't need to bend lines at all. And I have one if you need it.

 

The sponginess that you are feeling when you depress the brake pedal is from not having a bigger master cylinder/booster. Get those and you'll be golden!

 

Actually I already swapped the booster and the master cylinder from a type r. Forgot to mention that part.

How much for the 4040 valve?
