are you sure cuz i have read that 90-01 SI and EX works too... i have no clue about 94-01 teg, but figured that they are compatible cuz they are pretty similar to the 90-93 teg(which is for sure)... but now dont tell me that 90-91 crx si dont work.. cuz that pretty much the same... wait are we talking about the whole conversion or which one has bigger calipers?

all you need from the 90-93 teg is the knuckle, calipers and rotors, you dont not change your upper or lower control arms, you leave them stock Si.

and if you have stock Si rear disc, the 90-00 integra are the same disc size the 90-93 integra just have a bigger caliper piston, no sense in chanigng calipers though...

so all in all, just get a 90-93 integra or 90-91 civic ex front knuckle, caliper and rotor, a search will show pics too, i know this has been covered a million times with pics and everything...

He is correct! I mounted my 95 GSR brake components onto 90-93 Teg knuckles.

So if I can find the front knuckle from a 90-93 Integra they will bolt right up to my 89 CRX? Is there much difference between trim levels on the Integra?

The master cylinder has no effect on stopping power; it only affects pedal feel and effort.

With Integra front calipers, you will want to get the '90-91 Civic EX 15/16" master cylinder. Your stock '90-91 CRX Si has a 7/8" master cylinder, which will not be able to move enough fluid to the larger calipers, and as a result you will have a long pedal travel. The '90-91 Civic EX 15/16" master cylinder is a direct swap to your CRX Si and will bolt right up to the booster.

There is no difference between '90-93 Integra trim levels as far as calipers, rotors, and knuckles go; they are all the same.

Hasn't it been said though that 90-93 front knuckles have adverse affects on the suspension setting such as camber?

Can anyone confirm or deny this? I have the accord wagon calipers/Type R and already installed the 15/16 MC, however I am going whole hog and putting on the booster also, I am getting ready to purchase the knuckles and just trying to figure out which ones to get 4DR EX or the 90-93 Intergra
