Default 96+ drum to disk ?? did search!!

I did a search but I'm still clowdy about the subject. Here's the deal I found a 94 EX sedan at a local Junkjard. I understan I need the traling arm, hub, caliper and disk, but I retain my LCA. I also understan that I need the the 99+ si prop valve and the parking brake cables. First are these the parts that I need.



22796 017 WIRE A, R. 34.44
22797 018 WIRE A, L. 34.44

And Im planing on using steal braided lines which ones will I need? Also keep in Mind Im keeping my stock front brakes but later will upgrade to the fastbrake 11" kit so Im also graving up the front calipers and MC will I also need the booster? Will that MC work with the 96+, will I need to bend the lines? Your help is greatly appreciated and have a great day!

You have everything correct...the only issue you will face is when you do the brake upgrade. You will have to buy a seperate upgrade for the front and the back (because they are different models.
You might consider purchasing an adjustable brake bias kit. From the research I've done, the factory bended steel brake lines are the same size from year to year. If you plan to purchase a 4 piston caliper you might consider getting those bended steel lines to a larger diameter. and that is a DIY...it will just take you time to do it. remember if you get the lines too big you will be prone to lock ups (because of the shorter brake travel)and if you get them too small the brake travel will be farther.

I'm doing the same drum swap on a 96' Civic LX using Integra rear setup.

Hope this helps

Thanks anyways! I went today and pulled the parts. Now I need to order the parking brake cables and I need to find out how to bend the lines to match up to the MC. I may go back and get an integra 1" MC though.

practice...but like I said...I wouldn't change out the bended steel lines unless you are going to a four piston caliper...until then...you will just need to either swap the brake bias valve or buy an adjust one

1. I didn't know they would fit

2. The car was on the ground at the junkyard and I wasn't able to get it high enoght to get under it to remove the cables.

Ill know for next time thought
