A little background on my project chassis:

1999 Civic Si

My buddy got this car to swap everything onto his 4 door ek. So he took the the brakes and suspension off and replaced it with the parts from the ek. He swapped the rear trailing arms and all of the front suspension, along with the prop valve, and master cylinder.

My plans:

I have a set of front and rear brakes from a 95 DC2 and wanted to swap it onto the EM1 in place of the dx drums and smaller fronts.

My questions:

1. Will the my plans work?

2. Is it fine to use the trainling arms from the 4-dr EK?

3. What size master cylinder will I need?

4. What pro valve should I look for?

I did run a few searches, but i just want to double check before I start buying parts.

2. Is it fine to use the trainling arms from the 4-dr EK? Your using the rear disc trailing arms that are on the 4door right? They will fit

3. What size master cylinder will I need? Si, Itr are good

4. What pro valve should I look for? 40/40 si

Man i love this board!

I'm afraid that the trailing arms from the 4-door are with drums. If so what trailing arms will I need to use?

Is the SI MC a 7/8"?

ok, i'm lost, if you have a 1999 civic si, then you shouldn't have to do a brake swap?

Yes, the 99-00 Si MC is 7/8.

My buddy bought the car and swapped the brakes from the si with the brakes from his stock 4-dr EK. So I have drums now.

 

You stated that you can get the rear setup from a DC2. Does that include the trailing arms? If yes, then you can swap the trailing arms. It'll be much easier then removing all the drum parts and swapping hubs.

 

I just did a disc swap with just hubs and it wasn't that bad. If you don't have the trailing arms it can still be done.

yes it still can be done, but just swapping out trailing arms is 10x easier and faster.

 

word. I just was stating the fact that it will still work since he seemed to be unsure if he could do that or not.

I do have the trailing arms fom the dc2. So i'll prolly just go that route, mainly for ease of install. Thanks guys, 20 minutes and all my ?'s are answered
