you'll need a master cylinder from a Honda/Acura vehicle with 4 wheel disc brakes. like from an integra, or civic Si, Type-R etc. you may also need a new parking brake cable from a car with the 4 wheel disc brakes. there are shops online that sell the whole assembly with almost everything you will need (front/rear). in my opinion, that would be the easiest route to take...buy the whole front and rear 5 lug disc brake assembly (w/trailing arms and all), and then just put on some new rotors and pads, and brake lines. i saw a set for sale on ebay, the link will be listed below. i hope i was able to help a little. good luck with this project.

here's the link i mentioned on eBay. Keith Tau is a great eBay seller, and I can vouch for him. check out the link: eBay Motors: JDM DC2 Integra EK9 Civic Type-R 5 Lug Conversion RARE (item 260102760458 end time Apr-29-07 11:10:38 PDT)

thanks for your help,dude.so i need to change master cylinder and parking brake cable as well. yes,you're right.it must be easier if i buy the whole set of ek9 brake system. but it hard to fine it in my town and very expensive. since I'm already bought disc and caliper,i just think to buy it part by part then assemble it by myself. so,i just queries which part i can maintain and which part i should change.

thanks again.
