Default disk brake upgrade on EG

so to my understanding i can use the rear hub off a DA n bolt it on to my EG right? what about the front brakes? can i just take the whole spindle from the DA and bolt it on? my brakes suck right now

Idk about DA but I bolted the whole front spindle frome a dc onto my 93 eg si just had to change the master cylinder to a larger one and good to go. If your not in an si you have to put in a 40/40 prop valve if your running rear disc too

No used the mc from a 90-91 civic ex 4 door it's 15/16 and bolts right up to your stock lines and is the same size works great and it's cheaper but i have an si so it already had rear disc and prop valve

It has to be from the 90-91 4dr ex I got mine from the local autozone brand new for like 30 bucks as far as the da prop valve i'm sure you can prob use it you just might have to modify the lines some

93-97 Del Sol non-abs with rear disc. Bolts to the firewall like an EG and no lines need to be modded

quick question. so does it matter if the rear disc brake conversion has abs or not? as long as you use a non-abs mc?
