Default GSR Brake Conversion into 99 Civic Cx

After the installation, I'm getting lots of road noise from outside.

All parts came off of a 98 GSR. What can I do to get rid of this noise?

It sounds like excess road noise or wind.

Check the wheel bearings.

Checked, zero play or noise. I'm going to check tomorrow and see if my brake dust shield is rubbing.

a rubbing dust shield isn't going to create road noise, it would create a grinding or scraping sound.

You're right, apparently it's this:

3. 99-00 Si Emergency brake lines (integra lines will work but they come together into a single rubber floorpan grommet which you'll have to hack up and you could hear wind noise, etc under the carpet).

:\ ... any creative suggestions on how to take care of the noise instead of getting new Si e-brake lines?

Nothing. They hacked up the pass-through grommet which allows all the road noise through.

Get some white silicone caulk from your local hardware store and caulk the **** out of the hole.

lol, I may just try that. Silicone is not corrosive but it is flammable. Any other suggestion?

I'm stopping by the dealership to pick up some cotter pins tomorrow. I'll inquire to see if by chance they sell the grommet. I highly doubt it though.

Not all forms of silicone are flammable, but either way, that particular part of the car doesn't get anywhere near hot enough for it to be a concern.
