i have looked and even found the page on here to explain most of this conversion but i still have a couple questions i can not find answers for and hope someone can help me out.

The car: 00 civic dx hatch
conversion: gsr front and rear brakes

my questions are im going to upgrade the master and booster, should i go all gsr or itr on the booster and master? and will my existing lines work and line up to them? also ill be going with steel braided lines where i can, do i get the gsr ss lines or the civic dx lines? if this matters mostly a daily but will be hitting a few track days this year.

 

rs/ls/gsr all have the same brakes, just for the record.

you do not need to upgrade the booster on the civic. use a 98 RS master. if you want a 1" get one from any of the abs integras from 98-01. they all bolt up.

i'm not a fan of using integra knuckles on 96-00 civics.

use 99-00 si lines.

 

yea i am aware of that and someone said i dont have to change the lines thats why im asking, and why arent you a fan?

 

anyone else have insight on this? em1 prop? can i reuse my hardlines? and what steel braided lines do i use? integra or civic? and would it matter if i do not have abs?

 

Probably because integra/"eg" knuckles are slightly different geometry. If you hold them up next to each other you will see a height difference.

 

On my car I used a integra brake booster and master. The lines bolted right up. Make sure and get the master that has the square reservoir. I think its 98+. I used the bigger master on the stock booster and the brakes felt like crap.

I also used civic si steel braided lines. The integra ones seemed too long.

 

so would using my existing knuckles be better?

ill check into that thanks man and also thanks for the info on the ss lines just want to make sure i have everything right the first time.

how about the prop valve? just the em1?

 

You need Si or EX knuckles.

All 96-00 prop valves are the same afaik.

 

you have the same prop valve as an em1 on the car already.

 

You don't NEED ex/si knuckles. Integra knuckles work just fine also. ;-)

The prop valve on the hatch is the same as the si.
