SpeedDemon Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ok i bought my new master cylinder for the clutch and brakes for my hatch. but i was wondering. can i buy a clutch and brake master cylinder from a 97+ integra and use it on my civic? as a sort of "upgrade"? i also hear a 97+integra brake booster will improve fluid flow and pedal feel. is this true? also. will gsr coilovers fit on my hatch? i found a set of 4 for $100. anyone know where i can get a del sol a/c mount besides the dealership?

DelSolSweetie Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 fluid doesnt really FLOW in the lines.. they should be full all the time.. the master cylinder compresses the fluid in the lines and thats what makes the calipers grab the rotor... there are some equations for the force to the pedal and the area blah blah i dont feel like explaining that part the booster just aides in the helping with the pressure.. remember when i told you if the booster goes out the pedal is as hard as a rock? like that. Also, im not for sure on this.. but i would think a bigger booster almost might make the pedal feel squishier so i cant see a different booster being worth the money/trouble.. because they almost never go out they tend to be a little more expensive if you really want better brakes go with SS brake lines.. they wont expand like the plasticey ones and will give a firmer pedal.. idk how much they are for your car but for mine they are like $70 or something like that i might have an extra a/c mount also if i knew what it looked like i would look through my 20 mounts out back lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastresort576 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 in all seriousness haynes blows. helms is where it's at. But for the majority of things they are identical in TQ specs etc. for GREAT breaks even with the smallest set-up honda offered on their civics that had 13" wheels...ATE helical slotted rotors, and Hawk HP+ pads..simply insane how quickly my car will stop. The initial bite is amazing..I also do not have SS lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 me and david already had a long PM convo about brakes (pads/rotors) lol ive been meaning to do SS lines to see how it changes it.. i also have hawk pads.. love em i went brembo blanks though.. didnt need slotted.. i dont track mine enough to need them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read a few good reviews about the ATE rotors and although I would have preferred to get blanks the price was right @ $42 each and that's what tirerack.com recommended for an auto-x rotor...I upgraded the pads to the HP+ as well, and once the combo was bedded in it was like 70mph-0 in <50 feet...However VERY easy with little effort to lock them up, so until you get used to the bite it could be scary if you don't have ABS. In the rear I've got oem blanks and the hawk HPS pads..These will soon have to be upgraded as well since the front end is diving into the corners too much resulting in the rear end getting too loose and way too much over-steer. Eventually I'll grab some SS lines but for now, I'm content. Plus, I will be classed better once I get a b16a3 in the sol over my LS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastresort576 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 well I have a dealer service manual for a 1995 civic del sol first edition and it includes every engine model del sol offered for '95...And to the best of my knowledge the factory service manuals are produced by helms right? It's something you'd prob have to purchase off of their web site. BTW never purchase drilled rotors..Unless its like a wilwood big brake upgrade because unless you spend BANK on them they aren't worth crap.
