brake upgrade (yes another one)

[viinnh]

okay guys ive searched around and asked around and im getting mixed answers.

info below is afaik
i have a honda civic eg GL, has rear drums and afaik its 242 front disc ? i want to upgrade to dc2 vtir disc brakes front and rear and afaik its 262 ?
okay what i want to know now is :
1. do i need to change my bb/bmc ?
2. do i need to change my prop valve
3. seeing as its a eg 2 dr hatch and a dc2 is a 2 dr coupe would i be able to use the hand brake lines ?

also how much would a dc2 vtir brake package go for ?
-rear trailing arm, caliper, disc, hand brake line etc
-front hub, knuckles everything at the front for the front brakes ?

and i again i know this is covered but im getting mixed info.

1. no, but its advised you do for better stopping power.
2. no
3. measure your existing lines. if its a little off it will be ok.

vtir brake setup about 500$

thank you , rep to you sir

i was thinking of converting brakes in a few weeks time and do a b series next year and change the bb/bmc
also ive never upgraded brakes before or even change pads. let say i bought a vtir brake package and the disc and pads airnt that good,
what disc and pad would you recommend for the front and rear ? some thing bang for buck ?

also what size disc is dc2 vtir rear, ek vtir rear and eg vti rear ?

[chauster]

anything slotted is ok. RDA DBA. best bang for buck probably from the states.

Cant remember size off by heart. try google or look through ozhonda.

[quangsuke]

size is 262mm rotors for the front. should efficient stopping power.

hunt around for a whole setup for vtir.

my suggestion is wait till a wreck comes up with donor parts. this way u will have everything all at once nice and easy for u.
Engine, Gear Box, upgraded brakes, Lines, master cylinder etc. plus some other parts u might be able to salvage off. saves the headache too of searching for specific parts.

its always good to upgrade your BMC to accomodate your new brakes.


P.S drums arent that bad used them even on the track.

i saw this , this is the reason why i searched more into it
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ng-96-dc2-vtir
im after the brake set up seems like the front has slotted disc ?

and yeah just wanted to upgrade brakes for now then change the bb/bmc when i do my engine bay

plus im after a b16 atm because im not really after a b18 due to engineeer cert. 1.5l to 1.8l

[phwoaaa]

do it right the first time remember!
measure disc and check pads
make sure the ball joints at the front arnt worn or leaking
check rear trailing arm bushes for splits
check if wheel bearings arnt making any noise


as these parts can cost alot of moeny all up you can save alot of money and labour doing it before it goes in the car

okay guys ive searched around and asked around and im getting mixed answers.

info below is afaik
i have a honda civic eg GL, has rear drums and afaik its 242 front disc ? idk but it's def. smaller than 262.
i want to upgrade to dc2 vtir disc brakes front and rear and afaik its 262 ? front 262, rear is not 262 most likely 242.

okay what i want to know now is :
1. do i need to change my bb/bmc ? best to change, firmer pedal feel.
2. do i need to change my prop valve ? YES without proper prop valve, drum brakes work better.
3. seeing as its a eg 2 dr hatch and a dc2 is a 2 dr coupe would i be able to use the hand brake lines ? YES

also how much would a dc2 vtir brake package go for ? bucket of chups n' gravy
-rear trailing arm, caliper, disc, hand brake line etc
-front hub, knuckles everything at the front for the front brakes ? what is the question?

and i again i know this is covered but im getting mixed info.

to safe your hassle this is what i m using on my egh22 atm
1. accord or prelude brake booster (it should handle more than enough 262 brake size and 282 )
2. stock eg gl prop (its better if you upgrade but i never had problem using stock eg gl)
3. find rear brake conversion of eg vti or si and ek vtir front if you get confuse using integra one

ek vtir front brake - 150-200
eg rear brake -150
bb prelude or accord - roughly 50bucks from wrecker

optional
front brake pad - acre super fighter 175 (from jdmyard, it works really good)
rear pad - any (dw too much if you are on budget) 50 bucks

You should change the prop valve when you go rear disc - as the pressures required for disc are quite different from drums.

yo charles,,, change your bmc is 15/16, rear disc brake conversion from eg or ek all the same,,

you will need disc brake hand brake lines

262mm is vtir,, or you can opt for 4 stud prelude or itr front setup for same amount of dosh!

Speaking of which, is a 1 inch master cylinder worth the upgrade over a 15/16?
Currently have 6 pots on the front and prelude brakes on the back.
Thinking I should also look into a 30/40 prop valve.
