too much $$$ for the ABS system
just replace the FRONT brakes with the 262mm items off your vtir , and use the brake booster too.
If your current EG is a EFI one , the rear discs are exactly the same as your old vtir so leave them be.
With decent pads this will give your EG great braking ability.

or better u can get a EG6 front cut that came with abs it also has traction control too
it is do able with your dc2 abs system but for time and effort its not worth it

if you have the time you can remove the ABS from the DC2 and fit them to the EG.

you have to fit all the mechanical bits as well as the Electronics, you will have to merg the ABS wiring loom into the EG.

you will want to know what your doing. some times its just not worth the time and effort.

Wouldnt you need a full car since you need the abs lines from the rear as well?:wave:

the lines to the rear are the same once they get to the fire wall.

don't waste your time.

just use the booster and master cylinder from the integra and run 262 discs on your civic. It'll stop great. trust me.. ;)

yeah u are correct as u will need abs sensors rears and wiring
but he could just use his dc2 ones hes already got
hence he only needs the fronts from a eg6

282mm rotors and itr brakes feel twice as better as 262 ones
especially matched with good pads and ss lines

i have 262mm discs and rear disc conversion with the master cylinder. its a huge improvement over 242mm and drums.
