Bigger brakes for the CRX?
I remember reading this earlier, but the search is down and i wanted to know what car i could switch the whole wheel/brake/suspention assemble straight over to my CRX.
Anyone who can help i'd be very greatful. Oh and after i find out, El Vap please delete my thread

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?

no i have the Si CRX, and i heard about how you could just straight up change over the whole front suspention for the most part. everything included

oh i get it now... haha i had no clue what you were talking about the first post.... i assumed that you wanted to swap the rear conversion... but i guess you wanted stronger braking system w/ the whole suspension.=P
my mistake...

one on ebay right now</TD></TR></TABLE> but i have no money, and don't want a RHD car. its hard enough driving a LHD car around old people and high school ricers

i do want bigger brakes, thats the main thing i want. But i heard its easier to just swap over the whole front suspention from the integra, and the master cylinder
check this out http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33583 the rotors are 10.3 inches compared to our like 9.5
I am putting the entire braking system of a 90 teg to my 89 crx hf. I also will be doing a write up on this and I will give you the link later if that interests you.

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
