you are supposed to use an integra proportioning valve that has 4040 stamped on it. The pedal will be low until you swap the brake MC and booster to an integra one.

yeah ive changed the mc and brake booster but the proportional **** was a bitch .. i assumed as that the set up is like the front ones are front left and right rear are rear left and right depending on how u bolt it on .. and when i was done it was cool

brake pedal feels sorta loose till and gets stiffer as i press it in more .. like in the middle

i think i probably gotta bleed the brakes better

but i do have an issue with the ebrake .. it is hecka stuff . maybe i have to .. adjust it ?
