It is fairly easy. You went out and bought all the parts buy you dont have a clue of what it consists of?

Maybe do some research before you even touch a THING. Use the button above, it says "SEARCH"

The hardest part is doing the prop valve and bleeding it properly. Everything else is just bolt-in stuff, pretty basic. You should be able to tell just by looking at the parts you have how they come off the car and everything new goes back in exactly the same. You will need an alignment afterwards to get the camber and toe set right. I think you use a 92-95 Si prop valve, iirc they had rear disc so that should work.

OK you have all 4 discs...yeah then a GSR prop valve will do the trick. Usually the Integra front brakes/calipers are larger than the Civic so proportioning is a little different even than the stock 4-disc Civics.

Are you talking about my car? Sorry I have sigs turned off so I don't see anyone's pics or setups (I'm at work, need to keep low profile!) I also have the full 4-disc GSR conversion on my hatch, hoping to put an H22 swap in soon, although I might sell it right away to buy a WRX from my friend who's moving out of the country.

when I did my rear brake conversion I didn't change the proportioning valve and everything worked GREAT.

It all depends...sometimes the prop valve for small front disc w/rear drums is the same as the large front disc w/rear disc setup, as is the case with EK hatches & the EK Si...

I wouldn't do that...do you know how to set the proportioning for your brakes? I bet Honda does...
