I'm thinking of just replacing my front brakes for now to Integra rotors/calipers. How much will they help out? I mean, compared to doing the full front/rear Integra brakes swap. Most of the braking done is from the front anyway.

I did the front and the rears. Fronts should probably be good enough though.

 

Thanks.

 

yeah the front GSR brakes are pretty good over the civic brakes. I suggest you upgrade the master cylinder and booster to GSR spec as well for almost optimum braking performance. If you'd run the rear GSR brakes then you'd have 100% optimum braking performance

 

I suggest you do it for better braking power, but you don't have to. Its up to you.

 

I did the front and rear gsr swap on my 97 cx but the brake balance is all messed up, too much braking from the front... Understeer is a bitch! is it the gsr master cylender or or booster or what that controlls frnt to rear balance??

 

prop valve controls the balance. get a 40/40 prop valve, AND the booster AND the master cylinder. HTH

 

Thanks will do..
what master cylendar will match up with my hard lines??? I dont want to kink them trying to bend them?. and would junk yard stuff be ok or should I get it from honda??

 

well it depends. if you get a MC/booster from a GSR with abs, then you'll have to do a little bending, cut and flare...it's no big deal though. Little work done for better braking power.

 

According to local Honda dealership, all civic proportioining valves are the same... I guess i'll get the gsr one... is ther a MC that will bolt righ up?
Also, what Rotors and pads would you reccomend upgrading to?
