There is no difference in rear disc...they are all the same wether it be 99-00 si, or 91 integra all the same.....u need a 99-00si prop valve, u also need to use the ek crontrol arms, and the integra trailing arms These are a must or ur camber and toe will be off.

loverboy

Thanks very much !!
Do i need the booster and the master cylinder too ???
If the prop valve is needed, do i need the si 99-00 or the Integra valve??
Thanks !

u only can use the 99-00 si prop valve....and if u want u can also use the 99-00 si master cylinder...only use 99-00si parts

loverboy

OK !
The prop valve only from the si 99-00.
But can I use the master cylinder and booster from the integra ?? (I have an offer with the hall kit).
Can I use my original (EK4 96 civic EX coupe with ABS) master cylinder ??
Another qustion is: should i buy the integra ABS units (rear discs) or I can reuse my units ??

b more specific plz

I understood that every wheel have an abs unit (tell me if im wrong).
So when swapping the rear drums in my civic into discs should i replace the abs units as well?

i have a set of rear disc brakes with skunk2 wheel studs and control arms, im selling them for $225.00

includes full brake assembly
brake booster
15/16 master cylinder
4040 proportioning valve

the only thing you will need to get is the ebrake cables.

You do NOT need an SI prop valve to do a rear disc brake swap. The stock one in your car is fine. I put Del Sol rear discs on my 96 HB, and still retained the stock prop valve. I even upgraded my front brakes to ITR spec and still kept it. I did upgrade the master cylinder to a 1 inch (vs stock 13/16). Its not necessary with the swap you are doing.

I used
1. 95 Del Sol trailing arms
2. Stock CX lower control arms
3. 95 Del Sol e-brake cables

Everything bolted up fine. Your camber will not be thrown off by much if you line everything up with what came off. If you are that worried about it- get an alignment.

To my knowledge ABS units in Civic and Intergras are ONLY in the front. There will be a ring with slots/grooves in the area where the axle goes into the hub. That is the area that the ABS sensor reads. I dont think Rear disc brakes (Civic/Integra) have this. You will have to check. I am using Integra front hubs on my Civic and they work fine.

You can use Integra prop valves as well. Make sure the hardened lines bolt up in the same location. Its not unheard of to use GSR/LS brake parts. (99-00 Si works to) You dont have to only use 99-00 Si parts.
