Thanks... I was unsure that 93 DA rear disc parts would not be compatible with my car. I heard different stories of working and not working. what is the propotion valve? I never heard of that.

Yes everything from it should work because my friend did a rear disc/ master cylinder/brake booster/proportion valve conversion all from a junked 93 LS that he bought for $300

The proportion valve is this:



I think its purpose is to distribute the brake fluid evenly throughout all for brakes. The stock Civic one is 30/40 and the Integra one is 40/40

The proportioning valves job is to limit brake pressure to the rear tires under heavy braking conditions. When you slam on the brakes, weight transfers off the rear tires reducing their grip. If you didn't have a valve to limit the brake pressure, the rear tires would lock up when the rear grip is reduced (from weight transfer). The rear tires locking up before the fronts will cause you to spin...

You should definitely get the prop valve too. It looks just like the one that SkoundrelUSA posted, and is located in the engine bay somewhere. The mounting bracket may be different than your civics, but it's best not to try to swap it out with your old one. Doing so would disassemble the valve & the OEM shop manual says the valve should never be taken apart. Just make the new valve fit over one of the mounting studs on the fire wall. One nut holding it down is plenty because it's also held in place by 6 steel brake lines...

PS: You will also need the Integra's rear brake hoses, and the parking brake cables. Make sure to do a full brake job before the install & replace all the caliper hardware, pads, rotors & clean/lube the caliper guide pins... Good luck
