does anyone know if the spoon twin block calipers will work on the 88-91 crx front knuckles?? is there a bracket or will the bolt holes line up? yeah i know the itr/gsr knuckles bolt right up but i don't wanna change out my crx knuckles, they have already been redone with all new oem replacement parts. i'd like to get the spoon to work with my stock setup.
& yeah i will upgrade the rotors as well
thanks!

i can't remember which special rotor you need to use... something like EP3 rotors....

spoon.ef9

so heres something i tried(was misinformed online lol)

10' mini cooper rotors
itr/legend calipers milled
itr hawk pads
stock dx/si knuckles(ef)- thats why they didnt fit..im supposed to use da/ex knuckles









They looked nice though

sh!ft

legend dual piston calipers
mini cooper rotors (10' or 11's i believe)
DC control arms
extended studs
auto part store pads.
am going to upgrade to slotted/drilled rotors later
steel braided lines


and for the record: i did NOT have to shave the bracket to make the setup fit

is it possible to bolt on the itr calipers with an EF vtec knuckle?

Anything is possible. But I'm sure it's not a direct bolt on.

This thread is also years old.

But I would like to chime in on:

I have these on my EF. I didn't have to do anything to correct the suspension. It's not that bad at all.

ok mate thx, I will see if I find a set of EX knuckles, if not I will try to find SIR calipers since I already got the knuckles

Hey guys,

I know it has been a few years since someone has posted in this thread, but I thought I should start here.

I have been using this brake upgrade write up (Brakes)
to complete my upgrade on a 91 civic Si. To my amazement it already had the EX knuckles with the raised letters LH3-A and RH3-A (Swapped by previous owner I'm assuming). It has the smaller 9.5" rotors with the stock caliper.

I purchased the larger rebuilt calipers stamped with 17CL14VN (Should be from 90-91 Civic EX sedan), same as in this photo.

When I bolt them to the spindle, the bolt holes line up perfectly. However, the 9.5" rotor is already just about rubbing the bottom on thel new larger caliper when I spin it. I expected there to be a large gap, allowing me to use a 10.3" rotor. It also does not seem to be perfectly centered between the caliper.

Do you know if the 9.5" rotor will work with the 17CL14VN caliper? I am not sure how to move forward to resolve this.

Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

You can use spacers/machining to center the rotor, but i'm not too sure where the caliper is hitting the rotor, could you post a picture of where it's hitting?

kaydubbs

Thanks for commenting. I have taken a few photos to show my issue. It looks like I could possibly insert a 1/4 inch spacer behind the rotor to better center it between the caliper. However I'm still confused that I don't have a large gap to accommodate the 10.3 inch rotor (Despite the upgrade article I posted earlier). Let me know what you think.

are you guys still confused?

Yes, I was hoping someone could explain the issues I am having with the upgrade.

I explained my whole setup a few posts above this one, but here is what I'm working with again.

Bump.

Your pictures show RH3-H and LH3-H. You have stock knuckles for your car (not the EX RH/LH3-A knuckles).

See here for comparison pictures: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-...rison-1241022/

Sorry to burst your bubble but this was painfully obvious to point out.
