Ready to do reaer disc but have questions

1999 dx 4dr. I bought a set of brakes from ebay and the guy sent everything from the MC to the inside brake handle. My question is what all needs to be replaced for them to function properly? I know I need to do the prop valve and the cables but do I need to replace the booster and MC with his?

Looks like you got yourself a great deal there, unless I'm missing something.

RE: Ready to do reaer disc but have questions

I would put on everything he sent you, I don't know if the MC's are different but, may as well switch them to be safe right? Also, I'd go and get new rotars and pads and pads for the front, new front rotars prolly wouldn't hurt either while you're at it.

Good call buying from that guy though... I've been looking at conversions for a while and that guy has sold a ton of them on ebay so I'm betting he knows what he's doing.

The seller also seems like he's a good guy to deal with.......(not tryin to rip off anyone). It's good to hear that you got the extras.

If the rotors look like they've been used for a while, I'd buy new ones (like amg said). If they look in great condition, you should find a trustworthy shop and get them turned.

and the master cylinder is bigger, so definately use it. it will stiffen up the pedal nicely and give you more braking force with less pedal movement.

I put new rotors and pads on the front when i bought it a month ago. Thanks for the help guys.
