Default Rear disc swap questions

I'm going to be installing my 5 lug this weekend.

So I need to get a ITR master cylinder?

Is there anything, other than the 5 lug conversion itself, that I should get to make the most of my conversion?


Lastly, since rear disc's are an option on EX coupe's, do I need to run brake lines up to the front brakes? Where do I connect the brake lines up to, on a car that comes with drum brakes? Do I just connect where the drum lines connected?

Anyone have a link to a DIY for the conversion? I searched a little, but to no avail.

Thanks!

u don't need an ITR MC but its definately nice to have one
you connect the rea rdisc setup to the stock lines that the drums were using, however the line from the caliper to the wheel well brake line end (hard to explain) is needed.
I would highly suggest stainless steel braided lines (about 95 bucks shipped from www.fast-turbo.com )

You will need rear brake lines, and e-brake cables from a car that had rear disc. ex:

94-97 integra
94-95 SI (or an EX that came with rear disc)

You'll also want a proportioning vavle from a car that had rear disc. A bigger MC/Brake Booster will help pedal feel.

Ah...ok...got it.

WCS: PM how much for the GSR MC. ...and the GSR rad too!

So:
Need a GSR/ITR Master Cyliner.(off a GSR/ITR right?)
Proportioning valve(of off a EX with rear discs, or a GSR/ITR?)
Rear brake lines...getting those with the 5 lug(Goodridge SS)

u have a 5th gen so make sure to get 5th gen si ebrake cables.. teg cables are too long or something...
second if you get a gsr or itr mc booster... you're gonna have to bend the brake hard lines and get them flared to fit. (thus why i didn't buy the mcbooster from WCS already )

moreover, for the e-brake cables, you will need cables that came from a 2-door car, if your car is 2-door, and 4-door w/ 4-door. The sedan ones are a little longer.

Sorry but here goes a supporting thread jack....

I'm installing my ES master bushing kit so I was gonna go ahead and finally install my rear discs at the same time. I had everything except the proportioning valve so I went to a local junk yard the other day and there were no 94+ Integras with the 4040 prop valve. There were plenty of 87,88, & 89 Integras that had a 3540 prop valve so I went ahead and snatched one figuring it's got to be better then my 3030.

Does anyone know if the 3540 will work for now until I get my hands on a 4040... I mean it should since it came from a 4 disc setup.
