i need a rear disc conversion for my 2000 dx.. my question is what would work i know theres the em1 eg si integras gsr whats the difference and what will work

phat00civic

They are all the same, what becomes important is the prop valve and the distribution of pressure from front to rear. I believe the DX does not have ABS, so you would probably want to upgrade to that as well. The EX and SI from a 99/00 use the same prop valve but there has been some discussion on here to how true that is as the EX uses drums. In any case I got my rear disk off a GSR with an e-brake cable from an SI. You need to get that as well. If you do not want to mix and match, then get the trailing arms, cable, brake assembly from a 99/00 SI.

Si doesnt have ABS,
does the EX have ABS?

The EX does have ABS, and calling ABS an "upgrade" is absolutely stupid.

Actually, you are wrong. the EX/SI did NOT share the same prop valve.
The valve in his car DOES share the same part number as a SI. I would be more then happy to post the part numbers.

EM1 will bolt on. 92-95/94-01 will as well. Use all your stock arms, and get what ever brake line for the caliper you have. Also, you will need new e-brake lines for the disk.

Crap ABS is crap. Good ABS is worth having.

ok so i need a em1 rear disc? im confused about the prop valve wats the difference

Apparently there is no difference. Run any prop valve, doesn't matter what it's from, it's going to incorrect no matter what.

It deosn't have to be from a EM1. It can be from ANY 92-00 civic, and 94-01 integra.(except R)

phat00civic

So what are you saying? Seems like your disagreeing with your 1st statement. If the SI and DX share the same prop valve then he should keep the one he has given it is the same Honda part number.

Also I am not wrong as I stated it has been discussed as the EX uses drums, just like the DX.

With that said depending on how old your master brake cylinder is you might want to replace / upgrade that as well.

98civdx

How is what I bolded correct? I am well aware the the dx/si have the same part numbers, but you said EX.
I also never said to change the prop valve, I said leave it alone.


Do not upgrade the master cylinder simply for rear disk. You only change the MC when you change the front calipers.

mkn177

would it be the same on an hx?

phat00civic

My point was what you typed was conflicting information. What I wrote was based off several discussions on this forum and others regardless of part numbers, which I mentioned. It was not a fact.

In regards on what to change, I did the MC, prop valve, all bushings, e-brake, and GSR trailing arms, pads, rotors. I did nothing to the front, but having 130K miles with the system empty might as well do it. I should have done SS lines, but I have had them before, and was not that impressed. Personal opinion and how I drive. In hindsight, being that I now have a turbo, that extra power on a auto-x track, I am sure the SS would have become a choice .

98civdx

I see what you did there... Since the OP didn't tell us if the car was a coupe/hatch or a sedan it is hard to say.

About the SS lines, they aren't all that great on a daily driven car. You really have to keep a close eye on them, and make sure they aren't getting damaged by rubbing on the shock/fork,etc. Which they have been known to do.
With that said, I looked into the Stoptech SS lines, as they are DOT approved, which many are not. I think they also have a coating over them to help them last a little longer. They are pretty cheap too!

can someone post a good walkthrough, or the link to one
