Downgrading 93 EX brakes to LX brakes?
Does this involve simply swapping the rotors, or is it more complicated?
I bought 13" steelies before checking if they fit.
They have new tires so I'd like to get some use out of them.

It is much easier and less of a hassle to buy bigger wheels.
To change the brakes from EX to LX you need smaller calipers, rotors, pads, the different lx knuckles.

Lock? Why?
LX brakes are insanely unsafe?
OP the idea of downgrading to an LX brake system doesn't make finacial sense. Simply get 14" Civic steelies.

Okay. It's definitely less of a hassle to get bigger steelies.
