ive researched a rear disc conversion for my ek hatch for a long time now and ive goten so many different variations of answers and how to's that im officially confused about some of the details.

Ive purchased a 94-01 integra rear disc conversion assembly.
My front discs are stock civic ones and there going to stay that way.
Im going to uprade to aftermarket blank rotors and pads after winter.

My scenario: I looking to buy SS brake lines (russell or goodridge) for my install. I want to swap to a 1" MC and Brake booster as well as a 4040 prop valve.

My problems:

-People tell me i dont need to swap my prop valve, some say that i do cuz my tires are going to lock up, and that i wont have any power to my rear brakes (only 20% or so?).

-The master cylinder and prop valve connections from the integra wont match my civic front lines . i know that some bending, flaring and so on might fix that problem. but is there an easier way, like getting a front from a teg?

But what i want to know is what SS lines do i get? Integra ones or civic ones? What MC and prop valve do i get?

I also phoned the dealer for some prices on parts and i asked for a new e-brake cable, he told me there were two? one for each side? one was 90 bux and the other 50 or so? Do i have to get both? and from which car?

Please i want to do this before winter starts and im really confused on what to get, everyone is giving me diff answers.

thanks a million,
PAT
ps im still researching this so dont think im just waiting for answers.
 
ok so you have great question:) for myself i have a 97 ek 4door and i made me rear conversion this summer...

1-prop valve:ek hb have the same # juste like the sir coupe that have rear disk brake so the prob is great from factory...

2-"The master cylinder and prop valve connections from the integra wont match my civic front"

Yes you are right ,not every integra booster/master fit the civic ek..I can say that you can buy a sir one(15/16) you will have no prob about the fit on your ek hb.

3-But what i want to know is what SS lines do i get?
get ss line that fit the plateform in your case again,sir 99-00


4-For the e-brake yes one for each side..But you can fit a integra e-brake to a civic but i think that every "rear disk conversion" is the same thing from 88-00 civic 94-01 integra 93-97 del sol

if you have more question pm me;)
