Yes, the DX brake components will not fit on the Si spindle/knuckle.

You can't put Si calipers on the DX knuckle. You need an EX or Si knuckle for that.

he's right... i tried, because i had both cars and tried to swap them... ended up swapping the whole spindle... the brake lines barely line up too... might be a good idea to get new lines though.

to piggyback on this question, are there two different outer CV joint diameters/spline counts?

im doing a built motor/y8 tranny for my brothers 98 CX hatch and im not sure if he'll need larger spindles, im an EF guy. anyone know?

Okay I bought 2 spindles for my 1998 civic CX hatch. One of the spindles works perfectly fine, and the other one will not fit my brake caliper. So does this mean one of my spindles is a DX spindle and the other one is an EX/Si spindle? This sounds right to me, so from my understanding do I need to swap the side with a EX/Si brake caliper and rotor?
