what brake lines do i order for my ef if i do a rear disc conversion and a front 11''?

 

order the same lines for the vehicle(s) you pulled them off of is my suggestion

 

Si brake lines.

 

wrong. if he did the legend brake upgrade they use the same banjo bolt and the brake line will still line right up. for the rear you NEED to have the Si brake line.

 

i have a 91 civic si. i can reuse my lines? tho ill probally just buy SS lines

doing this for my 10.2''

hmm...i did the rex rear disk on my hatch and they seemed to fit ok, wait, it was the e brake cable i had to extend

 

planning on getting the cables with the rear discs so thats already taken care of.

 

you have to swap the e brake cables over. Drum brake cables dont work for it. thats where you went wrong. Yes Si brake lines will work, even stock Si lines will work

 

i did my rear disc brake swap and bought new cables for my civic si hb and used 1991 acura integra ls e-brake cables tat worked fine.

 

the integra cables work because they have a similar part number to the Civic Si cables.

 

so if i have cax dx with da brakes front and back i will need si rear brake lines and da front brake lines? right

 

ok... this is weird then, i was told if i do rear disc on my ef hb that i would need to get da e brake cables correct? but i got my brakes off of a 01 gsr, and i used the dc cables, and they fit almost perfect, just needed to switch the brackets over, is this making any sense?

 

your post is kinda confusing.
your saying Civic Si cables work fine but drum cables dont
i have a 91 civic si with drums....

 

too short! thats what he is saying

 

 

U can install the SI brake lines with your DA setup...I have exactly the same setup but with the DA e brake cables as well. My setup brakes as fast as I put my foot on the pedal. also when you finish installing your Rear brakes, make sure you adjust them properly...

 

so what would be easier getting si rear lines and da fronts or just f+r si lines or f+r da lines?
and what do you mean by adjusting them properly?

 

I used 90-91 CRX si brake lines and parking brake cables and everything worked perfect in my CRX. I think some people may get confused by people saying to get Si lines. Civic Si did not come with rear disk, you have to get 90-91 CRX si lines, those were the only ef's that came with rear disk in the states. If you are buying new brake lines you might as well just get the CRX si ones.

If you have a hatch you will still use the CRX brake lines, but I think you will need DA cables because the hatch is longer than the rex. There are probably other cables that will work.. its just a matter of finding a cable thats long enough to fit your chassis.

I haven't tried but I think you could probably get away with using just about any civic/integra brake lines as long as the car had rear disk. Again I haven't tried it so I could be wrong but I don't think they changed how they connect to the chassis or the caliper, you just wouldn't want something that was too long or too short. This is for 88-00 civics, I don't know anything about the newer ones because I think they're ugly. Actually it would be 90-00, the crx didn't come with disks until 90.

 

would like to know if usdm control arms bolt on to a jdm rear disk conversion??? cuz my suspension wouldnt usdm use double wishbone n jdm use stick..

 

dont thread jack. make your own thread.

to answer the original poster. i have compared the rear DA trailing arms to my CRX trailing arms and the brake lines are pretty identical. i would say its safe to go with the crx Si brake lines.

as for the fronts. im sorry i dont have confirmed answer.


and since we are on the topic of e-brake cables, i happen to have a picture of my stock drums compared to my DA integra rear disc brake side by side. the DA cable length is a perfect match with the a 88-91 hatchback.

 

I used 99 integra rears with crx si brake lines on my hatch. The banjo fit well on the caliper but the brackets didnt quite line up with the brackets on the trailing arm. I should have used the teg lines. Oh well. Still works.

sorry, double post. computer acting up

 

That's good to know. I used SS lines so I didn't run into that problem since the brackets on those aren't fixed.

 

does your 99 integra rear brake line brackets look like the ones i posted?

 

Yes, pretty much the same but the first bracket after the banjo does not line up. I am going to switch it out with ss lines anyways.
