Well ok I finally got my drum to disc rear swap done. Everything seemed to be great. I used the junkyard rear rotors though that had some good rust deposits on them. Since I'm waiting on a better newer set to come in I sanded them down pretty good and called it good for now.

I am using the rear integra suspesion. A 15/16" Master Cylinder from a 95 civic si, and a Integrea GSR booster from a 94.

Well last night did a preliminary drive around the seemed warped and making noise in the rear. To be expected given the rotors condition that I stated above. So figured it would wear away or the pads would wear away to the point it would drive smooth without contact.

Well so today I drive to work and drove it. I'm a bonehead in my book for this. The brakes are rubbing it feels like non stop. Are these calipers junk and freezing on me? Or is it do to the proportioning valve that is still stock from my dx. I'm told the valve should be fine just less bias to the rear is all. So my question is are my rear calipers frozen? or do I just go get teh rear rotors turned and that fix's it?

Anyone had this situation. And no I haven't connect the ebrake cables up yet so that isn't the issue either.

One other thing I can think of is this setup had abs on the rear setup I took it off the calipers. Everything is on this system was non ABS from the start.

I'm hoping I can make it home and there is a mad amount of brake dust on the rear wheels.

Thanks for any help on this.

Well I've discovered the calipers weren't frozen. Im' down to the booster pushrod being to far out or in to the brake pedal. Or the e brake cables when I secured them using the stock tegra brackets to the civic mount points pulled the levers enough to have them clamp.

Anyone out there ever had this issue? I'm really looking for some help!

For someone that can help me.
