so when replacing brake setup say putting a Integra r or gsr setup what is all needed to swap it in a 96 hatchback. Do the itr or gsr have abs? My consern is porportion valve and master cylinder line fitments.
I got 99-00 si F&R brake swap for my hatch - which included hubs, spindles, calipers, MC, PV (which actually has the same part # as stock DX PV - but i got it for piece of mind), si ebrake lines. BTW brake booster is the same between 99-00 si & 96-00 DX hatch.
I bought new REAL brembo "sport" rotors (cross drilled) which are not the same as the cross drilled rotors you see on ebay - most of which are blanks that were drilled out (process is not as good as the one real brembo sport rotors uses) & axxis ultimate pads.
I am also getting Techna-Fit SS lines with an outer plastic sleeve/coating to prevent dirt & debris from getting in the SS braids & wearing the teflon line. Techna-Fit makes the lines for STOPTECH brakes. Paying around $100 from kingmotorsports (while stoptech quoted me more tha $165)
if you do GSR or ITR I think there are more parts involved (rear trailing arms maybe????) here is an informative thread titled "X brakes on Y car" from H-T - make sure to read the whole thing
