Brake swap problem - help!!

I swapped my drum brakes (95 Civic DX)for disks two weeks ago, but I did not swap the master cylinder and booster. Of course I found out that the brake pedal was too long, so I decided to complete the swap.

Yesterday I swap both master cylinder and booster (from a Integra 93). But the pedal is worst than it was before!!! I bled the circuit like 10 times but it doesn't seem to get any better. Any suggestions on how can I test if master and booster are ok (I bought them used)

Thanks a lot!!

hmm, I swapped for discs also, but did not have to deal with the MC with my EX. I wish I could give you some helpful info, did you also change the proportioning valve? Other than that, maybe check your system for leaks. Hopefully, someone will be able to give better info.

Yeah im prity sure its your proportioning valve. the one in the Ex doenst work well with the new disc's.
get one off a integra with rear discs or get a aftermarket one. i just got a willwood but havent installed it yet.

I changed the Prop Valves. From what I read today it seems that I had to "bench bled" the master cylinder before installing. I didn't!!!

Anyone knows how to bleed the MC once installed?? Thanks
