DAR? wow you got some clucking skill right there. How did you think to come up with this magnificent upgrade, and how much did it improve your braking?

lol I was beginning to think no one cared!

I thought of the mod while doing the rear disc change-over a few weeks ago.
I knew that the ex/si mc/booster would be ok, but I had always wanted more braking feedback through the pedal. I'd heard of others doing the itr mc upgrade but I couldnt find any how-to's or even a review of it. So I just decided to do it and find out.

I really did want a usdm piece so the side mount would be on the left side, but couldnt find one when I wanted it (I wanted it like right now and sohfast said they were out of stock). eBay came through again in a rare piece and it was even backed by the seller being a member I'd seen on H-T...how could it go wrong?
After a 3 days it arrived and I started

The install Id rate at a 5/10 for difficulty only because the booster is a big pain in the ass to get in there, and you have to then bleed the brakes, which is just tedious.

I noticed a LARGE difference in braking between the civic and itr mc/bb's With the itr setup the pedal is a lot firmer and the distance it travels for max power is lessened.

Right now Im running ex fronts and gsr rears. I know the braking would further be upgraded w/ larger front calipers, but Im really not interested in that right now, as its a lot of work...actually its not but Im lazy

very nice!

i was a little busy today too, I replaced my tie rod ends, steering feels way better, not as twitchy as before. then installed my jimfab traction bars, so hopefully no more damn wheel hop!

Tie rod ends arent too bad
I just did mine back in january. Definately a good fix.

Im looking forward to your reveiw on the traction bars!
