I've got a 89 DX, and it's got the same shutter as "Jiggy".
My Jiggy?!? ;^)
I'm doing a B16a swap in a few months and I'll be switching to Integra axles, So if I get an CRX Big brake upgrade now, will I be able to transfer the rotors over and have them fit onto the new Integra Axle/assembly without any fitting problems?
As far as I am aware, there is no fitting problem but I could be wrong. I think Lee & Tracy Grimes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) are running 'Teg brakes (and suspension?).
I'm assuming if I also do a rear drum-to-disc conversion I'll need a new proportioning valve and a master cylinder, will 15/16 cut it? or is it going to be overkill? Every site I've found seems to have a different opinion..
It can't hurt to have the additional braking performance of all four wheel disc brakes even though the fronts do all the stopping. The stock Si disc should suffice, IMHO. Most of the people that I know of that did the rear brake conversion went with the Si discs and used the master cylinder from an Si. I don't think you will need to go with a prop-valve unless you find yourself locking the front or rears up.
Thanks for the Help

I would also recommend replacing the stock rubber brake lines with stainless steel lines. All of my current and past vehicles sported them and all of them were made by Earl's Performance. The first time I used a set of SS lines was on a VW Bug that I had just lowered up front and found that the stock rubber lines were not long enough. I had two options, go with the longer stock-rubber lines that the VW Van/Bus used or go with a set of SS lines which could be made to custom length (and they weren't all that much more than the stock rubber lines).
I went with the SS lines which made braking performance much more positive feeling (and this was on a car with all wheel drums) mostly because they don't flex (or balloon) like the rubber ones tend to do when they get older.
And they looked cool too.... :^)
