Re:2gen/4gen Civic CRX brake upgrade
 

they should work. but if you have rear drums and you install rear disks you will need rear disk brake lines

also, CRX uses CRX e-brake cables, Civic uses Teg/civic cables. (CRX cables are shorter)

teg cables work if your creative with the zipties ;)

Re:2gen/4gen Civic CRX brake upgrade
 

I did the rear disc conversion in my car about a year ago, and honestly thought it was a waste of time. Drum rear brakes stop just fine for the rear of our cars. I've drove plenty of 91 si's and they dont even feel any better with rear disc brakes.

Just thought I'd share.

Re:2gen/4gen Civic CRX brake upgrade
 

I thought I would add my $0.02. This is what autoX'ers do, no big brake swap, no rear conversion....anything. just this, its cheaper and not hybrid. Im not saying anything is wrong with a hybrid, but this is by far the way to go...and it works.
Heres what we do when we run a circuit track...

Most set-ups consist of stock size calipers/discs.
-Stainless Steel brake lines --techna
-Powerslot rotors or something crossdrilled.
-Hawk 'blue' series pad
-Synthetic 'not DOT approved' brake fluid. -just dont get caught. $hefty fines$

-If you wanna get real nice with it, get some brake duct's and run them to to keep everything cool. on the streets, that isnt really necessary. an open rim will take care of it.(when I was on the track with stock brakes and synthetic fluid, it was awsome, but my rotor stayed red the entire time, and I went through an entire set of brand new set of bosch pads)

-This is for the front only. It would be PLENTY for the streets.
-If your gonna keep stock rotors/a near stock(nothing HP) pad and rubber lines, at least change your fluid to something synthetic. you will have a huge notice and its fairly cheap to do.

-Stainless Steel Lines. when running SS lines, you will have instant brake when you hit the pedal. --when you hold your pedal down and theres a squish to it, thats the line expanding. you WILL NOT have this with SS lines.

Im glad someone is thinking about this. This is my write up on it

To me making a car fast and handle awsome means nothing unless you can stop it.


yes I did this write up before, but I thought it could be added to this thread.
