i was planning on putting gsr brakes on my civic, right now im mainly focused on getting the front done. what would it take to do this swap?would i be able to just bolt the gsr brakes up front? would i have to replace the prop valve or master cylinder at all or would it work with my stock civic master cylinder?

 

you can just bolt them right up. i pot some 4 pots on my civic and i didnt have to change anything. i didnt have as much pedal feel but it worked fine.

 

anybody else have any input on this? are you sure i can just bolt it up and it will be fine?

 

what year civic are we talking about here?

 

a 95 ex coupe

 

ok...... but isnt it that the rotors and calipers are already the same size? I thought the only difference was the Master Cylinder....

 

i have no idea, and if it is, i think ima go ahead and do it anyways instead of replacing the wheel bearings and some of the studs on the ones ive already got

 

i'm pretty sure they are the same.

 

duing this to a EX or SI is not really an upgrade, bacause they are the same thing really. to me its a waste of money. but if it was a DX, LX, CX, ect it would be worth it, but you have to change the entire control arm. the EX has a good brake system unless it has rear drums. A good upgrade is to get a bear big brake kit.

 

not to mention:


-replace your brake lines, with stainless lines.
-replace your master cylinder
-replace your fluid with dot4 fluid
-and do what he said, get a big brake upgrade, instead of using stock calipers, and rotors.
