I'm currently in the process of doing my rear disc conversion and I need to purchase 3 items:

1. Brake lines (99-00 Si)
2. Prop Valve (99-00 Si)
3. Parking cables (99-00 Si)

My first question is if I should purchase the Russell Stainless Steel brake lines for the Si or just go OEM. I never heard of that company and it's reputation that's why I'm having second thoughts.

Second, I wonder if anybody knows where I can get a used p-valve from a 96-00 DX, CX or Si. I called around including IAS and seems like everyone is out of it (to include some salvage yard in the LA area.) I also wonder if anyone here have those item and would like to sell them (https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=852804)

Lastly, does anyone know any oem part sellers cheaper compared to Majestic and San Leandro?

Thanks in advance!!

 

try len i have heard he is the cheapest plus you would be helping an fellow HT member out. ( everything he owned just got burned in a fire).

as far as the PV goes. wont any 40/40 work? i know on a EG it will but maybe EK's are different

 

Well according to what I have read all 4040 will work but if you use other than 96-00 civic you have to reflare the lines in which I do not know how and I don't what to **** the lines up and end up replacing it. The reason I am looking forr a 96-00 p-valve is that it is plug and play on my car.

 

i would go with oem lines...thats what i have on my 5 lug swap and i love em....if you need a prop. valve i have one, but its out of an R. Pm me if your interested.

 

I'm interested on the p-valve but the problem is I don't know how to reflare lines. I haven't seen a DIY on it. I read here somewhere, DC and EG are the same but for EK you have to use EK PV.

The R PV wouldnt happen to look the same as your stock PV? If it does then it will work. If it look like the EG then the lines have to be bent.

 

try hybridhonda site they had an article of how to swap the rear disks.
heck here is the link.

yes...they are the same. If you want it, its for sale. I also have the brake booster if your interested.

 

Get the lines for the SI.

I'd get the stainless lines as well.

 

I'm running Goodridge SS lines all the way around after I did the conversion.

 

PM sent. I have an EX so I don't need the MC/BB. Anybody else got parts laying around? Thanks!!!

Yeah I have seen this (the car looks like it's an EG) and some others at geocities from this forum as well. I'm pretty much set on how the process works. I appreciate everyones help. Just still curious how much diff would the stainless steel over the OEs. AlsoI have heard that the 94-01 Integra parking brake cables are shorter than the Si's when paired with the Del Sol Si rear disc (93 Del Sol Si are the ones I just got.)

I wish Honda just kept the p-v for the EK same as the DC and EG...

Thanks for the help guys!
