Integra Brake Knuckle
I know this question has been beaten to death and I did extensive searching but came up with 100 posts on 92-95 civics and like 5 on 96+ Civics. SOo... I know that when you do a front brake upgrade on a 99 DX civic its recommended that you get the EX calipers/knuckles.
Well I purchased DA knuckles/caliper combo and I'm reading about it throwing off the camber + on 92-95 civics.
--Does this apply to the EK?
--Will using the integra knuckle and caliper work on the stock front DX brakes? Minus changing the pads and rotor.
--Is the camber being affected true even when not changing out the stock spindle?
Any help is appreciated.

People with EFs would be interested. DC Integra knuckles will fit and Integra calipers are better than the EX/Si calipers.

Re: Integra Brake Knuckle (astralshadow)
I have a question relating to the knuckle problems. (EK vs DC tho)
i am not 100% sure about this, but I believe only the EK knuckles should be used for EKs. We know that upgrading EK brakes to DC2's is direct bolt-on, but I believe the DC2 knuckles have different geometry than the one of EKs. For the daily use, there are no problems. But if we build an ek for the track purpose, then we encounters handling problem. Right?
Can someone, who is an expert, can confirm this? PLZ?
I wanted to confirm this, but noone seems to care/know.

From what I know the EK/EG/DC knuckles are pretty much the same.

Yep, You can use the front hub from a dc tegra, not sure previouse models, but they're soo many 95 or 96-01 brake swap you can find from Dc Tegs.
This was wat was avaivable to me, im talking bout front brake swaps. just get the hub with brake thats assemebled to it.
If you want Front sway bars for 96-00 Ek Dx and Cx models which mostly consist of those 3dr Hatchbacks like mine. You will need Forks and Front lca from a Si maybe Ex aswell, do some readin and searching. You can also use Integra's Front lca by the way, if you happend to mismatch.

Wait so that means I can just find myself some DC knuckles, bolt them on my hatch and I'll be able to use the DA calipers i bought?

Yes. I did the opposite for my CRX, I had DC calipers/rotors/etc and I slapped them on DA knuckles with no problems.

Yeah, they are obviously pretty much the same. hehe
What I was asking is that do EK knuckles and DC/EG knuckles shares same suspension geometry? I dont think they do, but just wanted to make sure.
