James Matteu Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The bone yard is cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 most rear disc conversions come with the parking brake cable already. you cant use the stock one, you need the cable for the disc brakes. you can use one from an si, gsr, basically any civic or integra with disc brakes.

frostedflake Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 will cables from an 88-89 civic or integra work if it has disc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 When I did my rear-brake conversion, I went to the bone yard and dismantled the rear end of an 87 Integra (DC4) down to the hub, and kept the parking cable attached. It was a direct match for my 87 CRX DX (EC1), even the proportioning valve was a direct swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostedflake Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 from what I hear from Honda you dont need to get a proportioning valve, you can use the one that was on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
