Full disc conversion

By ChicagoMike
- Tue Mar 27, 2007 4:21 pm #3841 So later tonight I'm making an attempt at swapping brakes. I'm putting in 99-00 Civic Si disc all the way around. I've got every last nut, bolt, part, and piece to do this swap. My question is has anybody on the forum actually done this??? I'm just looking for lil hints or tricks to pick up along the way.

Like everything, I'll take pics of the procedure, and post the run down.

- Wed Mar 28, 2007 12:41 am #3906 Actually things just now got put on hold. See the brake master cylinder in my car is the original one, and I've already spotted a super tiny leak. After I flush out the brake, system all the crap thats built up in the master cylinder should come out and make that tiny leak HUGE.

So I'm going to get a new master cylinder and tackle the job on Thursday.

- Wed Mar 28, 2007 2:29 am #3915 get one for an integra RS NON ABS so you can have the bigger master cylinder so you have better braking power and plus if you can get a proportion valve from 92-95 Si NON-ABS or Integra RS w/o ABS so you can use that and adjust and make brake pedal better

BIG thanks for the info!! :thumb:

So far our best time on a project is 7.5 hours. That included dropping 2 motors, installing 1 motor, painting an engine bay, and full coilovers all the way around. Hahahha, and that was just my hatch. :)
