do the integra fronts..the rears disk are the same as yours..the only way to upgrade everything is to do 5lug which would be just get lines for your car should work fine..run Hawk HP+ good street pad

DO NOT get the Teg fronts, the geometry is wrong. Get 90-91 EX front knuckles/brakes,

www.fastbrakes.com

They have a 11" brake setup for both the front and the rear that clears 15" and up wheels, and stops a 2,500 lb Civic like no tomorrow, so on a lighter 4th gen (which I'm about to do), they should be unimmaginable.

Anyone know if fastbrakes offers the 4 piston calipers for their 11" upgrades? That'd be SWEEEEET!

They have the 4 piston caliper big brake kit for the 84-2000 civics. I am assuming this is what you are talking about...correct me if I am wrong. But I am sure if it isn't what you are talking about they would be able to sell you just the calipers if need be.

Default Re: hybrid brakes (91civic)

Whoops, I posted before reading the site right... i was thinking it was a 4 piston cliper for stock size brakes....

Well, let's trry this one...

What size brakes are on 91 Civic Si's factory? The fastbrakes site says their kits are for 9.5" brake upgrades... i though mine was 9.1 or something... If so, is this where I have to upgrade to EX spindles to make the fastbrakes work?

Default Hold out for the EX 90-91s...

Look hard, and you'll find a set of EX ones. It's quick and easy, and it fits right. The teg spindles are slightly off. Its not worth the problems it will cause with stability and tirewear.

Does anyone have a picture of the integra spindles vs the EX or Si spindles. If I remember correctly, they're about 3/4" taller. That means you upper arm is up higher than it should be in relation to the lower arm.

if u got the $, go with fastbrakes 11" fronts

if u are a cheap bastard like me, get some 90+ integ brakes. they are 10.2" but that plenty for a crx.
