i just bought a 93 integra rs, great little car runs and drives pretty good. 223k on the clock. im having trouble with the brakes though. im not sure what the cause is but its like im slamming on the brakes when i barely push on them, just enough to turn the lights on. and this is an improvment. i changed the driver side front caliper because it was wanting to stop me while trying moving, and because i noticed smoke from that side. i replaced that and it still wants to do it but no where near as bad.

any suggestions? im new to Da's but not new to honda stuff as i have a few ef civics

 

bump for some help, ive figured out its all 4 calipers doing it, after 20 minutes or so of driving. ive never had a car do this to me ever

 

change out the proportioning valve..do a brake fluid flush.

 

What KtHaNxBai said, I would start with a full service of the brake calipers, remove them, flush them out replace any worn out seals, lube the sliders, may as well replace the pads while your at it, [if needed], check the rotors, [have them checked and machined if needed or replace them].

Flush out the brake lines, rebuild or replace master brake cylinder, check the brake booster. 94

 

ill start by flushing out the lines, the caliper i replaced actually had rust drip out of it when i drained it of the fluid. i suspect this car sat for a long time maybe

 

i think i found the problem, i drove it around last night a little until they started to stick (i didnt go very far). drove it back home and parked it all night, i searched and found a guy saying that his booster was holding pressure so i disconnected it at the check valve and a lot of pressure was released. so i decided to try to flip the check valve around so it doesnt get vaccuum and that fixed it, i just have to stand on the pedal. so im thinking the booster is bad or something may be mal-adjusted.
