gsr front brakes on a civic
i was planning on putting gsr brakes on my civic, right now im mainly focused on getting the front done. what would it take to do this swap?would i be able to just bolt the gsr brakes up front? would i have to replace the prop valve or master cylinder at all or would it work with my stock civic master cylinder?

Re: gsr front brakes on a civic
ok...... but isnt it that the rotors and calipers are already the same size? I thought the only difference was the Master Cylinder....

Re: gsr front brakes on a civic
i have no idea, and if it is, i think ima go ahead and do it anyways instead of replacing the wheel bearings and some of the studs on the ones ive already got

duing this to a EX or SI is not really an upgrade, bacause they are the same thing really. to me its a waste of money. but if it was a DX, LX, CX, ect it would be worth it, but you have to change the entire control arm. the EX has a good brake system unless it has rear drums. A good upgrade is to get a bear big brake kit.

not to mention:
-replace your brake lines, with stainless lines.
-replace your master cylinder
-replace your fluid with dot4 fluid
-and do what he said, get a big brake upgrade, instead of using stock calipers, and rotors.
