I just got a 5 lug ctr conversion and was wondering if I can use the stock e-brake cables that came with the rear disc for my 99 DX hatchback or do I have to use SI e-brake cables? I can also use the stock lines right? any help is appreciated.

 

If your CTR brakes came with e-brake cables, you can use them provided they are in good condition. You may be able to modify your stock ones to work, but I'm not sure since your stock rear brakes are drums. I used the 99-00 Civic Si e-brake cables for my 5-lug conversion.

 

Do I need anything else before I install the 5 lug? Everything off the 99 DX can be used for this conversion right?

*I will get MBC/ and proportional eventually.

 

You will need the ctr brake lines or s/s lines from a 99-00 si. The rear drum brake lines will not work. Also, the proportioning valve is the same between si and dx. No need to change that.

 

would regular Si lines from the dealer work?

Yes, but stainless steal lines are only about $100. Why buy new si lines that will probably cost more?

 

okay, i called the dealer today, do I need the brake lines from the rear disk to the front as well as the lines from the brake caliper to some middle connector? if anyone has part #'s that'll be great, what company makes S/S lines as well? I will consider that also.
