So I get out from the parts store after geting parts from my DIY Boost controller. I start my car. start backin up, hit the brakes and the build pressure then.... pop. I blew me rear brake cylinder!!

Good thing I have one side for rears disc conv and I was going back on staurday for the other!!!

wow... how the hell did it make a pop sound? thats just crazy. ive had mine bust on me before but didnt hear the pop. lol, after it bust its lots of "fun" taking off the drum.

Ya it popped in a weird and kinda cool sounding way. I drove it home (I live in the country, no cars around and the parts store is right on the edge) and used the e-brake/downshit to stop. I took my drum off last night and the one side piston actually pushed it's way out of the cylinder. I wonder if it's because my rear drums had like NO shoe left and they had to push to far. Who knows? And who Cares Now.

Going to discs will almost be cheaper. Yard wants 50 buck CAN a side and rotors are $25 and pads at 30-40.
Cylinder price, don't know but on my old 86 civic it was like 80-90 bucks

50$CAD for the entire trailing arm? thats a good deal IMO.

Where in Canada are you?

I know. I have a buddy with a 5g coupe. He's swapping also before his b16 goes in. We asked for his car and 94-00 tegs were 125-175 a side. But the guy said due to the year he only wants 50 bucks with calipers and all. I'm gonna grab the sway bar at the same time.

I'm located around London Ontario.

Anybody know if a 90-93 teg will fit a 94 Coupe. I think it will. Looks the same and I've heard of guys using 92-95 Civics on 88-91 Civics, so why wouldn't vise versa work?
