This was the most informational video I've ever seen on a rear disc brake conversion. Every other video I have watched has been "What is up guys, today we are doing a rear disc brake conversion, you are gonna need trailing arms and of course brakes." Then it cuts and they are just like "now we are gonna bleed the brakes," and never give a part for part list. I appreciate this and you a bunch!
I appreciate the comment and thank you for watching! I made this video with the intention of making it easier for those also wanting to do the swap. I also spent hours of researching and watching YT videos and ultimately never saw a video that was as detailed, so I decided to make one myself! Stay tuned for the next set of videos in the near future!
i bought everything, except for the prop valve, but my handbrake do not work properly. it's like the cable is not pushing the piston all the way. mybe ai have a bad brake calliper...
@@evanakey7872 Through my research, I would say yes as you would need equal pressure to be sent to both the front and rear brakes, as the stock OEM prop valves on non-SI Civics have un proportioned pressure going to the rears due to drum brakes. But since you have ABS, I'm not entirely sure as majority of the brake lines also connect to the ABS system. Definitely looking around Honda-Tech.com will help narrow the answer down!
I’m looking into this conversion for my 98 civic cx hatchback . Just sourced the 2000 integra gsr trailing arms. All I need is the 40/40 prop valve. Taking into account the year , model , trim , does my civic already have this valve ?
Back when I researched the swap, I remember seeing in a forum somewhere that the CX hatchbacks might have it. Not exactly sure where it stated that, but I know it was from one of the old Hondatech Forums. If you wanna be certain, it doesn't hurt to pull one from the yard or buy from ebay. $20-$40 at most for the prop valve.
@@freddyhuerta6154 Yeah, I got one from ebay using the Integra 98-2001 prop valve. Its the same as the 99-00 Civic SI prop valve. Still holds up good. Brake pressure is firm and response is almost instantaneous. BUT, I do have the entire Civic SI front brake setup swap: Stainless Steel Brake lines, Civic SI Brake Master & Booster, and using DOT4. But you don't need to go as crazy as me haha.
@@xreay sheesh you went all out ! I think my civic does have the 40/40 prop valve. I may just upgrade to the booster from an EX civic like you did in the video.

Appreciate you watching fam!
I have a 1999 Civic EX with ABS, do I need to replace my prop valve?

Just making sure, I have a 99 ex also is it really needed for it to be swapped out?
