    Default hatch rear disc conversion question

    ok i own a 92 civic hatchback dx and just completed the integra front and rear disc conversion on it (whoa one hell of a party that was). my main question is since i did this do i need to upgrade the brake master cylinder to a civic si one or a after market one. i think the piston size on all the bmc are the same but i could be wrong. Can i keep the stock bmc that came factory on the dx with drums?? or should i upgrade.. thanks my current bmc is in good shape and does not leak


    Also wat muffler looks the best on hatches cuz when i did the upgrade i put a set of blox lca on it and my knockoff obx twinloop muffler is blocking the pass. side lca u can only see one lol

    your brake master cylinder will be fine - if you're looking for your rear discs to actually improve your braking instead of just looking nice - then you're going to need to change out the proportioning valve.

    for it all the work right. u will need to get the a RS DA non ABS master cylinder an the booster, and 40/40 proportioning valve from a EG SI or a del sol. while your at it u might as well get ls/gsr front and rear sway bars.

    this is the sway bar i have! 100% worth the money.. i'd actually pay more if it cost more! you can adjust oversteer/understeer, and also the height of it's mounting so it wont hit the exhaust and such.. it also works as a rear tie bar as well!!

    only complaint ive ever heard out of this is that after a while of hard driving with it, it could possibly rip out your subframe.. so just order a subframe brace for it

    yeah man... only problem i have had with it so far was assembly/installation.. lol. assembly probably took an hour and a half and install another hour and a half.. it is VERY complex, but worth it!!

    I agree with all- did the same swap on my civic- HAD to upgrade prop valve otherwise it feels like crap.

    it will say 3040 or 4040 on the cylinder- it is easy to see on the firewall. hint- its easy to do but more annoying that you would think with traditional hand tools since you cant turn the bolt that far.

    also upgraded at the same time to stainless lines and that made it feel real good.
