If you can't adjust it look for the Si ones or you can use the 94+ integra ones. I put 94 integra brakes on all four corner and the ebrake bolted up like stock

since u said it was off an eg si, i think you should try to source EK disc cables like the Si or one of the EX models, or go for the integra brotha .

better yet, why dont you IM fowler. He had 5 lug all the way around, which means he had rear disc. ask him what he used. theres a sure fire answer

did you guys used al the factory mounts?
I left off one of them (one closest to the exhaust b/c off trouble making them go all the way to the bracket/ line seemed to be about an inch too short)
I used 99-00 Si rear disck and coupe cables

you should let the mount that is closest to the interior cabin out. It is the ones right where the exhaust bends. I had to do this when i put my rear disk on cause the cables were a little short. After that you do a little adjustment and you are straight. later

Because the cables are short...and you didn't bolt the cables to the car...that could cause it not to feel "tight" If you can somehow bolt the (4) 12mm to the car..that would fix it. Unclam the brackets and move them to where it's needed to bolt up. Hope that help.

when you crank the adjustmant nut under the center console, does the amount of clicks it takes to get fully engaged lessen? it should.

I put GSR breaks on my EK. they bolt on and work like a charm. I had to upgrade the break master cylinder as well. the stock one was not powerfull enough.
