Default CRX brake upgrade

Im upgrading my braking system on my 88 Si to rear da integra rear discs and also the front da integra brakes.

I was wondering if i need DA Teg brake lines for the front and the rear or 90-91 CRX Si lines? any difference?

You need both the DA MC and booster, both of which should be NON-ABS. Don't mix and match the two ABS and non-ABS. You also should get the DA 4040 prop valve to balance things out in the rear. I'm pretty sure you can use the stock crx control arms and bolt it up to the DA knuckle

oh if its in a crx thats different. when i did it in my crx last summer i had to swap out to the crx si from the integra's cuz i believe correct me if im wrong but the integra ones are about 1 foot too long and they will sag, depending how low u are they might even hit the ground.

yea they are diff cuz i believe only the 91 si came with rear brakes so the prop valve would be different. if u want to u can go with 91 EX MC and booster. my buddy used those for his civic and worked wonders. but si, dx, and std all use the same master cylinder. unless im mistaken, cuz at my job they all have the same part #

You'll need 90-91 CRX Si e-brake cables for a perfect fit.

Also, I used a 2040 proportioning valve along with a 91 CRX Si master cylinder when doing the conversion.

i dont think you have to swap the booster, but the MC and Prop valve should be changed. I may be wrong though.
