**Pictures of Rear Disc Conversion**
Saw on another post that you had to get some sort of proportioning valve to make the conversion actually work, as in distributing the brake force evenly. Did you do the same for your conversion?

i just put the brakes on my car without changing the poprotining valve or the master cylinder, and the brakes work fine i need to do some brake tests but you don't need to buy that other crap. and you havto get the nucle hub caliper brake lines and ebrake cable to convert it you can't just get rotors. but if and when i get new rotor i will get sloted not driled, and they usualy run $90 for each rotor, and like $50 for a set of pads.

Rep Power: 368 blanks works better than slotted or cross drilled or both.
those tends to crack easier... and IMO they're more show factor than the "cooling down rotor" factor.
IMO we dont really need rear disc for a stock civic.... sure it stops better... but on a FWD vehicle... I believe 90% of the stopping is done on the front.
but yeah the rear drums sure looks silly and pitiful when you got rims.
Honda's really cheap on the brakes... the civic should have four wheel disc brake... and most of the models should have ABS available...
bah.
