Default Which brakes to use

heres a question, Im wandering if i could use the front brakes from a 91 crx si, I have a 91 civic si, and noticed that the brakes were larger on the crx, as well as it having disks in the rear. Which mines does not. I also know i can use the rears from the crx. I just want to know if the fronts would work as well, Im pretty sure they will though.

thanx,

Check those fronts again. They may be different, but they shouldn't be bigger. They'll work though.

Don't forget on the rears that the crx e-brake cables won't reach. You'll have to get integra ones or newer civic disc brake ones. I used 94 GSR cables and they bolted up perfect. I think I had to slide on bracket up the cable.

there should be no size difference between the crx and the civic.. the only civic with larger front rotors is the 4th gen civic EX sedan.. and yes they will bolt onto your Si

you should use integra front brakes and crx rear disc brakes, i do not think that the crx brakes are bigger than the hatchback...
