Nah, no DA came from the factory with a hydraulic clutch. They're all cable.

Hey guys I got a DA9 with very spongy brake pedal feeling. I have checked everything and almost got everything that I needed (new rotors, pads, fluids, and braided lines.)
So here's my question, is someone here had tried to put a brake master cylinder + booster from another car?? (eg. from dc2/4, or civics)
It's pretty hard to find the replacement in my area and Honda quoted me for around 400 bux.

DC2/4will bolt straight in if you replace the booster and MC and is the 15/16th size same as your current one. All you need to do is re bend your brake lines a bit to match up to the outlets on the MC which are in a slightly different location. If you are upgrading to larger calipers you will want to upgrade to a 1" DC2R booster/MC and process is same as above.

Tbh, you will only be getting another second hand setup anyway so what's the point? (unless you are upgrading) plus replacing the booster is a pain.. I think you would be better off just rebuilding your current MC if that is even causing the issue. Unfortunately I cant get info at the moment but if you google search for how to test an Integra booster and master cylinder there are a lot of instructions to figure out whe the fault lies

Hey guys, was going to post a thread in the Suspension section but figured I'd try here first.

I initially had my mind set on getting Skunk2 springs (2" drop all round) off of eBay ($300 delivered) and running them on stock shocks.

I've read in numerous threads that lowered springs on stock shocks will kill the shocks fairly quickly?

What about these? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SKUNK2-Sp...ht_2673wt_1163

They're a bit above what I wanted to spend, but do it once, do it right I guess haha.
