you shouldnt need to change your MC. I did cause I went discs front and rear. Also got the teg proportioning valve. You may want to upgrade your brake lines to steel braded while youre at it. Good luck!!

If you want to utilize those bigger front brakes to their full potential, get a 90-93 Teg (non ABS) MC and BB, you will notice the difference.

you will need a 4040 prop valve. the drum 3030 will not allow enough fluid pressure to the rear causing them t never work to their full potential/over work the fronts.

the prop valve is good to get if youre converting to rear disc. if not, theres not much reason to. the prop valve in your car is already good for rear drum. Bigger MC will make the brakes work really good, but its a real bitch to change depending on the room in your engine bay.

yes. take the front knuckle assy. and the cliper/rotor. you do not need the upper control arm or the lower control arm.

as for the accurate location of the prop valve, on an ed, it is on the passenger shock tower.

X2...don't bother getting the knuckles.

If the rotors/calipers/pads are cheap, get them. Then look for 90-93 Integra knuckles or go for the ultimate score.....EX knuckles.

rubber lines use what comes from the Integra.
