Re: Is this a good brake combination?
Ok, did some research on the Integra Master cylinders. The only way you could swap them, and its not a guarantee fit, just a guess, would be to swap the brake power booster over with it. I would assume this would work, but not for certain, non were unbolted already, and already had to undo enough of those things today to check. But the Teg MC are 15/16, I believe the EF Si is 13/16, but unsure on that, I know the EGs are 13/16, so yes the Teg is bigger, its just the fact of whether the power booster will swap or not. The MC bolt up reverse of each other between the Teg and Civics.
As for the rear brakes, I think they only do like 10-20% of the braking, forgot the percentage, but its not a whole lot. Not saying upgrading the back to disc doesn't help, because it does, just not a huge difference. It usually always helps to upgrade both the Front and Back to try to keep things even.

Re: Is this a good brake combination?
Well, after a week of use, they work well. There actually has been no squeaking except for the first use of the brakes as i'm leaving my driveway every morning. I have also been looking at the rotors to see how the pads are digging into the rotors and so far they are slowly creating lines and polishing. My driver side rotor is about half polished but the passenger side is concerning me. It still has a few lines but nothing compared to the driver side rotor. I've put my finger up on the side of the outer pads and the driver side always seems to be more hotter than the passenger. Is it possible my caliper is sticking or something on the passenger. The car is braking well, but if i'm not using them to the full potential, then there's something wrong here.

Re: Is this a good brake combination?
ok, so i came acros a master from a 94 integra and it says it will work with a crx. Does anybody know for sure? also, when i say i want to get bigger rotors, i mean what acura/honda would be a direct replacement. i know that ALOT of parts are interchangable between cars. i just want a DIRECT replacement. NO mods at all. just unbolt and bolt the new, upgrade.

Re: Is this a good brake combination?
Quote:
The 94 Integra Master Cylinder is NOT a direct replacement for your CRX. You would have to get the brake power booster which should swap right in without any modification, in order for the MC to bolt up. Just look at how your CRX MC bolts to the PB, and look how the Teg MC bolts up. Complete opposite. As for a Direct replacement for your rotors. There is none, not just the rotors. In order to get bigger rotors, your calipers are gonna move out, if your calipers move out, they won't bolt on the spindle anymore. See the problem. In order to find a direct replacement, you will have to find a caliper and rotor combination that will work, or spend quite a bit of money on an actual big brake upgrade kit from some manufacturer.
