Default Rear disc brake conversion help.

I have a 2000 dx civic hatchback (non-abs). I want to do a rear disc brake conversion with the brakes from a 99-2000 civic si. What exactly do I need to change, and what can I keep from my car?....ebrake cable, master cylinder, brake booster,...etc.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I did a DA rear disc conversion and I kept my Master cylinder and brake booster if that helps.


You need to change the trailing arms and run the eBrake cables to the eBrake.

I used the stock eBrake cables from the DA. They fit perfect on my friends EK sedan, but on mine it feels as if they dont grab the e Brake hard enough, and I have to pull up all the way for it to work.

I think u also need the proportioning(sp) valve.
I helped my friend do a rear disk conversion on his hatch, we used the e brake cables that came with the new trailing arms. we also used SS brake lines for the integra that the trailing arms came from.
