Default Beginings of big brake upgrade on eg from integra

so I spent almost 2 hours taking out the master cylinder and brake booster from a 1998 integra. It was a labor of love and contortionism. I am looking to ugrade the front brakes this spring. I already have the rear disc swap installed. Now all I need is the front knuckes from an integra. i will get those soon. THere are 3 or 4 decent integras at pick and pull in summit IL. here are some pics.


still has ECU & 5 speed b18B 130K miles



out....


nice bit I picked up from ebay...ITR shift ****


here is just a pic of the jdm itr installed....need to get a better boot now.


starting to refurbish my front gsr calipers

Why do you need integra knuckles?
The calipers bolt up to an eg.

You need a rs booster and master unless you are planning to install abs

you should have gotten a master out of a 94-97.

Wrong! He can use a ABS booster and MC or non-abs. Only difference is the ABS booster is thicker and sticks out more from firewall.

Upgrading the brakes was one of the best mods I have done to my hatch. Best was the GSR swap!lol

Rather than re-bending lines I just bought a new MC from rockauto for $120 for a 91 4dr civic EX and it bolted right up to my stock booster.
