Hi all.
Has anyone on the site ever install 90-93 Integra front spindles/disk brake conversion for an ED hatch (91 DX)?
If so, have you run into any problems with it?
Im hearing rumors that the swap shouldn't be performed

Anyone out there who has experienced with this have a word on it?

thx

BTW
Done a search, only this came up

search for brake in the crx section in archived topics...there are 10000 topics on this...

 

The ideal brake swap for a 2G CRX is from a 90-91 Civic EX. The DA's knuckle isnt the same as EF cuz of the alignment issues. I've heard people that the tires rub on the fender with DA knuckles.

Some people say is doable and some say it isnt.

I got EX brakes myself on my old car and it feels awesome.

 

the teg knuckles work fine if you use the crx stock upper A-arm and you retain your stock crx lower arm. ONLY use the integra knuckle and your golden. The only people that have alignment issues are the ones who used all the integra arms then its totally out of whack and probably not able to align.

 

The G2 Integra knuckles are taller than G4 Civic knuckles, and you'll end up with a more aggressive camber curve. So depending on where your ride height is, you may end up with an undesireable alignment and/or clearance issues . . .

Ideally, you'd want '90-91 EX or JDM EF8/EF9 knuckles.

Why swap knuckles when you can upgrade to the 90-91 size front brakes without them, atleast according to this post https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1171175

i'm in the middle of this as we speak

 

thanks for the replies guys

I actually got a hold of the 90-93 teg front spindles and installed everything with my stock upper and lower arms and the rest of the suspension.
The car drives perfect, the car is at stock height right now and the camber is perfect and the wheels are perfectly straight.
The car looks exactly how it was with the stock spindles on it.
So im happy with the swap, and these brakes are freakin awesome, best upgrade ever.
Im just in the process now..looking for a booster, master and proportion (sp?) valve.
Thanks guys for the help

What differences exactly did you notice? What is the differences in the brakes, just the larger rotor?
