Icon3 DC - EF brake swap

I am wondering if you can bolt the dc integra rotors, caliper & caliper mounting brakets to an ef front knuckle.. Im also doing the rear disk swap & im swaping the master cylinder, & proportuning valve to do the rear disk swap the correct way.
Im keeping my D motor but I wanna get the aftermarket stock "big brake kit" thats why I needa know if the front brakes will bolt to an ef front knuckle.

no, you cannot bolt up the 94-01 integra LS/RS/GS/GSR front caliper & rotors

onto your 88-91 civic EF front knuckle

(unless it is a 90-91 civic EX front knuckle; which accepts 10.3" front rotors, same size as found on any 90-01 integra * excluding ITR)

> if you do not have the 90-91 civic EX front knuckles

then you have 88-91 EF DX knuckles, which use 9.4" front rotors.

here's a few options for upgrades on DX knuckles:

1. www.fastbrakes.com sells a bracket which mounts the DC integra front calipers onto a DX knuckle with a larger rotor set-up.

2. here's a link for: s2000 front calipers, which use 11" rotors on a DX knuckle

3. Acura CL brake upgrade for 9.5" Civic Brakes > 11" rotor

92-95 civic EX (or 94-01 integra LS/RS/GS/GSR)

front knuckles are better suited for EG civics

for the best alignment results on any 88-91 civic/CRX EF,

use 90-91 civic EX or 90-93 integra DA front knuckles (complete with calipers)

Always bench bleed the Master cylinder when replacing the master cylinder, ABS unit, or proportioning valve.
