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.

Re: DC - EF brake swap
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

Re: DC - EF brake swap
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)

For those of you with a soggy brake pedal after caliper installation, here is the CORRECT bleeding sequence:
Bleed the brakes Right Rear, Left Front, Left Rear, Right Front. You do not go farthest to closest with Hondas.
Always bench bleed the Master cylinder when replacing the master cylinder, ABS unit, or proportioning valve.
