92 civic lx

00 si front and rear disc

i have the proportioning valve for the SI, the brake booster, all four knuckles, and the rear trailing arms

the knuckles swap over just fine. what about the booster and the proportioning valve? Do i need them?

Any ideas?

I say interesting cause i haven't seen or heard much about it.

I wouldnt say you NEED them, but it will help. They should bolt up just fine, you will just have to bend the lines to get them into the MC just right. You will not be able to use the PP valve from the 00 si though. You need one from an non abs car.

yeah, you dont NEED them, but you should change the proportioning valve because the ratios are different with calipers than drums . get one from an eg Si or EX, or from a DA integra

rear disc non abs valve is what you need.

Sounds good. I'll get one. Will the SI brake booster work too?

yes. its should just bolt in with the MC. You will just need to the bend the lines you have to fit the MC. Should work just fine.

92 LX PP valve

Need to find a rear disc non abs pp valve

So the EK non abs rear disc won't work. Time to hunt down an LS :D

The EK one you posted is an ABS valve.
