Zex you really shouldn't talk about yourself that way. But seriously, I am not here to engage in this kind of behaviour. I already asked the dude to post only positive suggestions. Can I get an admin in on this one?

Stop the fighting guys ! we here 2 help and be helped !
U didnt answer about the ABS thing:
Do i need 2 buy the ABS units of the integra (rear discs) or can i reuse mine ?
Thanks.

 

[zex_cool]

not sure about ABS, i never used it.

 

[loverboy]

So i need 2 know from someone who did the rear discs conversion:
Do i need 2 buy the ABS units of the integra (rear discs) or can i reuse mine ?

 

[loverboy]

Ok nobody is answering maby i dont understand something:
In my 96 civic do every wheel has an abs unit of his own??
If yes than should i replace the ABS units of the two rear wheels in the discs convertion into those of the integra (rear discs) ??

 

[.:i.lIKE:.:eK9:.:lOTs:.]

I'll probably get yelled at again , but if you have the Integra ones, why not put them on?

Anybody know if I need the proportioning valve off of a 99 Civic SI for my gsr brake swap in to 96 EK?

I just did a rear disc conversion on my 96 EJ Coupe using used parts from a 96 Integra and new parts for a 99 Civic Si.

I If you want to compare which Honda/Acura parts are the same, go to Majestic Honda - The Internet's #1 Honda Automotive Parts Store and select the different Civic models to compare those. Then go to http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/ to compare the different Integra parts. The Acura site will give you the Honda part # and you can search for that on the Honda site. Most, if not all the 99 Si componants are essentially Integra parts (and vise versa in some cases). I buy what I can from Honda as they are 5%-10% less than the exact same part from Acura.
There are other parts suppliers out there that give you the Honda part #'s which makes things even easier.
Good luck!!!

ok so does that mean that the lugs are just a little longer? Prolly higher strength...

I am picking up a complete gsr disc brake conversion today. It includes 4 rotors, 4 calipers, trailing arms, the ebrake cable, master cylinder, and brake booster.
I plan to put these on my 96 EK. I too would like to know if I need the proportioning valve from a 99-00 si.

they are off a 98 GSR. Can I use my 96 EK axles and everything? Will the arms bolt right on?

Thanks to all the vets who have the answers!

4x100 means there are four bolts, and they are 100mm from bolt to bolt, 4x114 is 114mm from bolt to bolt, not thickness.

As far as prop valves and MCs, I have converted, and have not converted a few different projects, IMO, the differences is noticable, yet performance wise, not always nescessary. I haven'
t messed with the 6th gen+'s much, so I couldn't honestly tell you what will fit plug and play with what.

hey thanks for the input. I have decided to use the Integra Master Cylinder and Brake Booster. It is what was spec'd on the GSR brakes and was suredly done for a reason.

The question about the proportioning valve still remains. But I have a feeling since the chasis and weight distribution of the Civic and Integra are a little different it makes sense to use the Civic PV on a Civic setup....
