    Well I got SiR lines from autozone, so I'm hoping they have the valve.
    Going to try all the stores tommorow and might run to a junkyard.

    Thanks for the info, I'd rep you if I could.

    Bingo...that's what I needed...

    Let me know how that goes.

    Could I run a stock 91 hatch dx prop. valve?
    Or am I going to have to get a crx si valve?
    Bingo. We went 4040 cuz we thought you were doing DA front, remember?
    No.
    Yes.

    It's probably a pain to source one though, so the easier solution is DA front brakes.
    Option B is to run the 35/40 prop. Can't remembe what it's off of, though. I wanna say 92-95 civic? Check my accuracy... Available at Napa, I'm sure...

    While at the salvage, look for 3540. I swear it'll be what you want. Fuck autozone for the prop. Use napa. Smarter people. Plus, I can pull you a discount through the shop I work at. Hell, your shop probably has an account with 'em, too.

    Well I don't care where its from, the part wont be different. A 3540 prop valve off a 90-91 crx si w/ rear discs.

    I'll most likely get a discount at where ever I go, but its my dad's shop...I just help. LOL

    And ya I remember everything, was a pain in the ass, and I'm still driving it with no back brakes...hard to forget when I need about 2x the braking distance. LOL
