Proportion Valve Issue

Atomic562 · Aug 2, 2015

I'm new to the group and hope you guys can help with my issue.

So I was ready to do start purchasing the parts for my rear brake upgrade on my accord when I ran into my issue. My car is a rear drum non ABS car, and as I noticed at the junkyard and the rear disk cars have ABS. So does anyone know what propotion valve I need for my car or am I stuck dealing with drums?

And extra info the car is a daily mostly stock on generic 17 inch wheels, I need new rear brakes so figured why not just go disk as a fun project.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you will need a different proportioning valve. Should be able to just change the lines over. Ive never done anything as far as drum to disc conversion on these cars but i have done it on others and it just uses the same proportioning valve.

Ive done this upgrade on civics so I figured it was just as easy, but as I looked it it up Ive seen anwers from use the ex part which doesn't exist lol cause abs. And then some said use 90-93 Integra one. I just wanna be sure before I make a huge mistake or worse put myself in danger.

Never done this but there's a drum to disc swap section in this 5 lug swap DIY that may shed some light.

You should have a disc one, but if you don't swap one, it will hurt nothing.

I just got all the parts to switch over as well going from 4 lug to 5 lug disc brake set up in the back and the front brakes are coming from a 2001 Acura TL, also trying to find out if I need to swap out a proportioning valve or not. I think that maybe a rear disc brake from the 4 cyl. 2 door might have the part you may need. but I am not 100% sure yet. still working on it.

Really, nothing will hurt if you don't change it now!

It might not be perfect, but it will still work.

As far as I can tell from my last trip to the junkyard all oem rear disk accords have abs. I'm hopping it doesn't make a difference since its mostly for asthetics in the end. Plus I also have access to the legend calipers for that upgrade too if I decide to go that route.

It doesn't make a difference. With SS lines when I did mine swap, it'll lock up nice and quick with the stock proportioning.

Hmmm...if it locks-up quickly I think you need new tires!
