installing integra brakes on ek Q
when installing front integra brakes on an EK, do you just need the knuckle caliper rotor and ball joint? theres no need for the A arm or the LCA b/c you use your stock one right?
if changing just the front brakes and leaving the rear drum is it necesary to change the MC to a 99 si one?
any other input is welcome. i searched but didn't find a how to or anything close to what I was looking for. thanks

It wouldn't hurt to change the MC.
Remember that civic MC = 13/16th"
and Si = 7/8"
I just did mine. The Si MC was only $4 more than the civic one. I said, oh what the hell. I went to redline for the MC. I would suggest a centric or bent/arnley brand MC's. Or if you can afford it...go OEM : $220.29 here in Hawaii.
Hope it helps.

Any other comments on changing the MC? Any advantage? Also how big are the OEM rotors on a 99 Civic EX? Are the calipers much better on the GSR than on the Civic?

front rotors on the 92-00EX/99-00SI/94-01GSR are the same. rear rotors are also the same (for civs that came equipped with rear disc brakes). GSR calipers are a little bigger than civ calipers.
