Default 93 del Sol Si brake upgrade

Hi.

I'll be picking up a 93 del Sol Si in the next month or so. It's in amazing condition with less that 80,000 miles and has never seen rain let alone snow.

I currently have a 96 Civic EX coupe that I've put many years of work and parts into and I'll be trying to swap over what I can.

As far as the brakes are concerned, the del Sol has the little 9.3" (240mm) front rotors. My EX has the larger 10.4" (262mm) rotors. I know that the del Sol can have the same "big brake" upgrade as my EX - Prelude VTEC or Corrado rotors with ITR/Accord wagon calipers, etc... But I'm wondering if I can swap over the EK brakes to the del Sol.

I've done some looking and it seems that it isn't as simple as just putting in the larger rotor and using the same caliper - but some other information suggests that the calipers between the del Sol and the EX are the same.

I believe I'll need the rotors, calipers and knuckle do complete the front swap. The EX comes with rear drums and the del Sol rotors so that won't be changed.

I recently installed quality brake parts on the EX (slotted rotors, Hawk HP+, SS brake lines) for time attack and autocross and I'd like to swap those over if I can.

Can anyone confirm what needs to be done for this?
