im using a si mc and si lines

 

bump

 

I used SI E-brake cables and lines.as for MC I still have my stock one n work just fine!

 

 

You have to use '99-00 Si e-brake cables, and you'll want to upgrade the master cylinder to a 15/16" or a 1" unit.

 

My setup is as follows:

E-Brake cables: 99-00 Si
Brake lines: 99-00 Civic Si
Master cylinder: ITR
Booster: ITR
Proportioning valve: 99-00 Si

I believe this is the best setup. E-brake cables and brake lines from an Integra might fit, but they may be too long or too short. Civic EX brake cables will not be a direct fit, since the EX has rear drums. A stock master cylinder and booster is fine, but since you are using ITR brakes, it would be optimal get the matching components.

When I first installed the above setup, the brake pedal felt soft, but the mechanic told me that it will return to normal after few weeks of driving. After a few weeks, the brake pedal did return to normal.

 

do i need a booster and the Proportioning valve?
