i have the oppurtunity of getting my hands on a JDM Rear-end Suspension/Disc Brake Conversion Set pulled from a 4-Door 1991 Honda Civic Ferio SiR with an EG9 chassis.

i need to know if that will be a bolt on swap to my 97 civic dx (ej6)


thanks everyone

yes it will, but u will have to reuse ur stock lcas. dunno if the ebrake cables will, but i dont c y it wouldnt. have fun. make sure u get a 99-00 si prop valve as well. upgradin to the 99-00 mc is always a plus. :thumbup:

 

is getting the si prop valve a must? or a highly recommended buy?

 

What are the identifying marks on the Si prop valve? I have one from a '99-'00 but I don't know what model it's from...

 

It should have 4040 stamped on it somewhere.

 

what does the prop valve do again? i'm not a brake guru

 

It controls the amount of pressure going to the front and back brakes. 4040 gives equal pressure to front and back. A stock Ex DX, etc divides 80% to the front, and 20% to the back.

 

ohhh.. and so if i did the rear disc swap.. i would want the equal distribution.

what about e-brake cables? would i then need something differnt?

 

Yes, you'll need some from a 94-01 Teg, 92-95 Civic SI/4dr with rear disc, or lastly from a 99-00 SI.

You don't have to have a 4040 prop valve, but you won't really see an improvement without it. Balanced braking is > front end nose dive.

 

wilsel thanks for your help
