Coilovers/Brake Swap for EG
I actually used the search function and found most of my answers but still have a few questions. So far I have ordered a rear swap off a 99 integra with the 40/40 prop valve and MC, and I'll soon have the front disc off a 93 ex coupe. I'm choosing not to use the integra MC because I don't want to modify any of my brake lines or my booster. Is it possible for me to use the MC off the 93 ex or is it just better to get the MC off a 91 civic ex since I know it's a direct bolt on? Also, I plan to install my coilovers at the same time. Is there any benefit in getting the upper control arms off the 93 ex or should I just spend the money for a camber kit?

Re: Coilovers/Brake Swap for EG (blu eg22)
All the stuff I've read (Honda Tuning mostly) on doing rear disc bake conversions recomend using a larger MS, like the Integra's. I don't remember them saying anything about modifying brake lines at the MS, I just don't know about that.

90-01 integra & 88-00 civic rear disc hardware & repacement parts (pads, rotors) are interchangeable

the EX knuckles are rare and expensive. the EX knuckles use 10.3" front rotors and a bigger caliper & pad than your DX calipers on 9.4" front rotors. 94-00 integra front knuckles use 10.3" as well w/ calipers stamped 17cl14vn

I didn't know they were rare. They've been sittin at this junkyard on this repo for over a year. The car was origionally for sale as a whole but recently they started parting it out. I'm getting the front brakes for $100 which isn't too bad.
I guess I will go ahead and get the 91 ex sedan MC= less work for me. Oh, and since I'm dropping my car maybe about 1.5" is it better to get a camber kit or just zero the toe? Or both?

you're going to need an alignment once your swap out your DX knuckles for EX knuckles. just make sure the bearings are ok on the EX spindles & hubs before you spend all that hard-earned cash. before you pay for them, you need to wobble the rotors up & down, and left & right to check for play (it's gonna cost you a grip if you need to press need bearings in).
on a 1.5" drop, the alignment wil fix any issues you have. if you plan on slamming your ride, you'll need the camber kit.

Re: Coilovers/Brake Swap for EG (roastbeefrichie)
inspect your ball-joints and bushings when you pull your knuckles out...good time to check your control arm bushings while everything's out

Thanks for all the input
. I'll check the ball joints and for play in the bearings in maybe an hour or so when I go to the junkyard.
