i have a 95 honda civic si hatchback that has four wheel disc brakes. i want to do a swap to integra front brakes that i already have in my possession. what i have is the the whole set up from ball joint to ball joint. my question is this: is it necessary to swap the lines and the master cyclinder? or will i be fine with my stock master cylinder and brake lines?

 

not to sound dumb, but I thought the front disks were the same on civic? no?

 

Not the same and you can put them on your Civic. Use the JDM ITR 15/16 or Integra RS 15/16 Master Cylinder/Brake Booster setup in the future.

 

Yeah you'll be fine, I've been running gsr front brakes on my stock cx 13/16ths MC for months now. First thing you're gonna notice is the pedal goes a lot farther down, but you get used to it. Braking is improved, and when you swap out the MC, it'll feel better.

 

I was told the civic cylinder would be find and I'm running SS brake lines.
These pics are from a 96 civic ex. It was my understnding that the 99 Si's were the same as the GSR's. I'm not sure about the 95 si....

from what ive been told, the front brakes on the anti-lock equiped 5th gens are the same as the integras, but not the cars without antilock.

 

where did you get them, and how much did they run you?

 

Is the rotor size the same as the Civic Si front brakes? I have an Si myself and was considering doing this brake swap when it gets a little warmer...just trying to figure out if it's worth it. Also, Tom posted up about using the 1991 Civic EX Four Door master cylinder. It is a direct replacement for the 92-95 Civics MC and it is a 15/16 MC

 

no the front civic brakes are not the same size. when i was first looking into it, it was saying all over the net that they were identical but they are not. as soon as you look at the stock civic ones, and look at the integra ones you will be able to tell how much bigger the integra rotor and caliper are. i paid like 170 for the setups. so you guys think my stock si master cylinder will be fine then? thanks for all your help

do you guys know what the size of my stock mastere cylinder is? it is a 95 si hatchback with out ABS.
