Default GSR front brake conversion: troubled

I have a 96 civic coupe dx. I did a gsr disc conversion(front and rear) about 2 years ago. I didn't change the proportional valve. When my car was stock height the brake work fine when i depress on the brake pedal. After lowering it with complete suspension set, sometimes the brake pad tends to be stuck to the rotor when im driving and when depressing on the brake pedal, it depressed only about 1" instead of 2-4". Anyone knows what's the deal.

integra brakes....gsr isnt special

the prop has nothing to do with this - the hatch prop is 40/40 same part # as the em1

if anything, this may only have to deal with the fact that your brake lines may be acting funny due to the change in height...I cant think of anything else that would affect them from just changing the springs

again...."integra" gsr is not special

you will want and "em1 hose kit" - they are shorter than integra lines and will come with the rear disc fittings
