Default gsr front brakes on 96 ek hatch {searched}

just recently bought a 96 dx hatch, i used to have a 98 gsr and i parted almost everthing and i have the front brake calipers laying around, so i searched and i heard alot about camber issues?..why is this?...ive also heard that i need the front knuckles...

the car does not have abs, will it effect anything?

No it will work fine, all you need to do is use your stock upper control arms. No camber problems and it does not matter if the brakes came froma GSR which had ABS, they will work fine.

so i will have to use the upper control arms from a teg?

so it will not bolt up with the civic control arms?

would there be some difference with the civic calipers and the teg? (braking distance)

thanks for the feedback

No, please re-read my post. Use your STOCK (Civic) Upper Control arms!

Now I don't know what you mean by

"would there be some difference with the civic calipers and the teg? (braking distance)"

But having Integra front brakes with a bigger MC (99-00 Si Master Cylinder) will be a big difference compared to your stock set up.

i see, so basically, just a straight bolt on. got it

so it wouldn't make a difference with the oem dx brake master cylinder, but it would with the EM1 master cylinder. ok

thanks again

you cant bolt INTEGRA calipers to dx knuckles
you also need to upgrade to at least the 7/8" mc, as stated (it is the same on the 96-00 ex as the em1)

It is not that it wouldn't make a difference, you just won't be using the full capacity of the GSR brakes with a smaller MC.

Straight bolt on eh, no mods needed?

You are correct, I thought your post said "can". Damn, what a long day it's been at the office.

Do you have the Integra knuckles as well? Usually people have the calipers/rotors/pads/knuckles all from an Integra. I think your first post confused us.

Ahhhh, pdiddigity understood you.

In that case, you need to use 94-01 Integra knuckles or 99-00 Si knuckles.
