Default Front/rear brake conversion

I got a 96 ek coupe dx wit a b16 I'm gonna do a rear brake conversion with 94-01 integra parts and I kno I need an 99si prop valve but my question is

Can I use the front assembly (knuckle, caliper, etc) from the same integra?

No, leave the prop valve alone.

You can, however the knuckles are different. I would recommend trying to find a 96-00 EX, or 99-00 knuckles. For the rear it doesn't matter. 92-00 it all fits.

So this is what I'll need to do the brake conversion for front and rear... Everything from an ex/si right?
Brake Booster – Master Cylinder – Prop. Valve – Brake Lines – Caliper – Brake Pad – Rotor.

Leave the booster alone.

The MC will depend on what FRONT calipers you end up using.

Well I was gonna get rear integra trailing arms the whole assembly and I was gonna get the integra front knuckle assembly... So out of the prop valve brake booster and MC... Should I grab all 3 or what?
Cuz I know integras have bigger pistons in the calipers right...

Look at your mc, there will be a fraction on it. If it says 7/8 or 15/16 you do not need to upgrade mc/booster.

Why don't you read the links provided!!! You can't use integra knuckles on a ek due to being longer than ek's.

Ok cool... Thanks alot for the help man... It's jus I got the car with the b16 in it and both my front calipers are frozen and my brake pedal goes down to the floor and I have no idea what set up it has... So I was gonna convert the rear to disks and take the front assembly also so I don't keep buying wrong parts

That's why I said the MC will depend on the front calipers.

Yes, the DC front calipers have larger pistons, so you would the MC to match those calipers.

96-00 EX/SI= get a 96-00 EX/SI MC.

Or should I jus get all 4 from the integra? (Except the ex front knuckle of course)
