Default Del Sol VTEC Brakes on an EK?

Will the front and rear or either brake setup form a '94 VTEC Del Sol bolt up onto a '97 Civic CX?

Uh, hello? You dont think going from 9.5 front discs and rear drums to 10.4" front brakes and rear disc will make a difference? What planet are you from?

Yes they will fit, and yes it will work better! Not sure if the del sol parking brake cables will work.

I agree with you on the rear disc, my friend sadi they didn't make a difference on his eiter. But as for the front, it would be physically impossible for them to not make a difference.

I got the DIBS on 'em but any how find me a good trade or some new tires, thats all her car really needs is new tires. But her stockers are 14's too so they'll look better than caps.

what a waste of a perfectly good set of alloys...
she won't appreciate them. esp. since all she wants out of them are the tires.

i actually did that exact swap on my ej hatch. the front and rear wear COMLETELY swapped. also, there was much better stopping as opposed to the crappy brakes the civics come with.

swap was from a 95 del sol VTEC, cross drilled rotors.

but drum brake is not working well under high heat. since the drum will expand due to the heat.

I think it's 9.5 inch to 10.3 inch. I think all the VTEC models came with 10.3 up front, not including the R's.
