Hi All,
I did a rear disc conversion on my wifes EG Civic, and swapping everything over was easy enough, but it does not brake like I thought it would.
I have since swapped over to another master cylinder as well (definately came out of a 4 wheel disc Civic) but still no improvement.
I am getting conflicting reports regarding the proportioning valve, some people say its in the master cylinder itself, and that i need to remove something out of the master cylinder to change it from drum to disc.
Others say theres a separate valve block.
Which is correct? and if i changed the cylinder, wouldnt that have removed the problem?
I have just machined the fronts and new pads, but it is worse than when it had drums.
If anyone can help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Chris
