It I convert my 96 civic 4 lug to a EK9 5 lug conversion, would I need to change my brake master cylinder and proportioning valve??????
Big thanks in advance .

 

well first off its been covered a bit but
IMO change it while ur at it.. your going to have to bleed the system anyways

 

So, there's a difference in brake master cylinder and proportioning valves? My stock civic is different from the CTR/ITR??

 

keeping stock mc will work, but may cause some other issues in pedal feel.
prop valve im pretty sure should be changed im guessing you got drums in the back with a uhhh 30/40 when you need a 40/40
correct me if im wrong anyone

 

Yes you will need to change both of those. You will need a 1" master cylinder (you have a 13/16" one now) I beleive from an ITR which means you need to swap out your booster as well so it will bolt up. When you do that you will have to rebend some of the lines i believe and flare them to hook up with your new master cylinder. Also you will need a 4040 prop valve from an integra rs without abs to get the proper pressure going to both the back and the front. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

Oh and you will also have to bleed the **** out of the system to make it work right..trust me I just did a gsr swap on my del sol and I bleed it like crazy to get all the air out. And don't forget to bench bleed your master cylinder before puttin it on your car to get out all the air or you will be bleeding for eternity.

 

trust me, it's not worth it.

 

5 lugs from 4 is not about performance Bense. its about hey look at my civic. i have somthing you dont.

if you can do like i didnt with my si brake swap and get the wheel assemblys, ebrake cables, mc, prop valve all at once. i payed $392 for it shiped. but the front left needed a new barring $50 for part $30 for labor. and a new rotor $21. and i put new brake pads on it just for the hell of it.
oh yah and get the rear end with the traling arms. remounting the wheel to the trailing arm is a hand full is you dont have inmpact tools.

 

My gsr full front and rear brake swap just cost me around $600. Worth it? Yeah It stops better but now I need an alignment and I'm not sure if it stops $600 better. But rear discs look cool! haha

 

Thanks for all that info and clarifying it with me.
As well as everyones coments.
