Trailing arms, calipers, rotors, disc lines and disc e-brake cables from an integra or hatchback.

4040 proportioning valve highly recommended, as well as a larger 15/16" master cylinder.

otherwise, just grab the entire trailing arm assembly.

I thought you only need to mess with those if you go with bigger brakes rather then just slapping on the rear disc itself.

im running the rear setup from fastbrakes.com, but i'd suggest the rear setup from any 94+ integra, just because of great availability and cost.

A bigger MC is not needed for rear disc brakes. When you upgrade to bigger front brakes a bigger MC is recommended.

where did you hear/see this? not trying to cause a ruckus, but my reasoning behind questioning ya is the fact that the caliper on disc brakes require more brake fluid than the wheel cylinder on drum brakes. wouldn't a slightly master cylinder be optimal?

It is known, just read around on here. Believe me, if you get a bigger MC & BB with your smaller stock front brakes you're gonna warp those brakes. I know from experience too.

Would a 93 Integra suspension work on a 92 EG6? My brother wrecked his car and now it is just sitting in the driveway collecting dust. Best thing about it though would be that it is FREE!

Why upgrade the MC/BB and not upgrade the front brakes to Integra or 99-00 Si brakes?

I just figure, why do more work? Why not upgrade everything at once this way you don't run into any problems (i.e. brake bleeding). I would also replace the BB if the new BB is bigger than the existing one.

I'm not sure i understand that last part completely... Did you mean u would replace the BB if the new MC is bigger than the existing one..??

On the brake upgrade pages i've read, it doesn't mention upgrading the BB unless switching over to the Integra BB/MC combo... I figured there wasn't much of a difference in the old school BB than new school BB, just larger volume MC...
