yea i find with these older chassis you need to bleed the brakes a lot to get all the air out. and keep filling the reservoir as you do so.

No their is plenty of fluid, I spooned out all of the old dot3 fluid and put dot4 full synthetic fluid, all the way thru, Im not sure but a buddy of mine just said that I need the integra master cylinder also for the brakes to work right

I put 93 Integra brakes/knuckles on my 88 CRX DX and had to use a 90 EX 15/16" master clyinder before I ever got a decent peddle back.
Car aligned up okay after change also.

They are right also on the "bleed the crap out of it", and if you change m/c, bleed it before installing, then again at lines before going to wheels.
