Integra GSR Hub vs. CRX Si Hub, revisited.
Did some measurements on my GSR hub vs. a CRX SI hub i had laying around:
the ONLY difference is the hub face. The hub face where the brake rotor and the wheel studs are pressed into, the GSR's is bigger than the CRX's.
the spline count is the same.
the bolt pattern is the same.
the depth of the hub (from the hub face to the rear which is pressed into the wheel bearing) is the same.
the diameter of the hub which is pressed into the wheel bearing is the same.
I can't find anything different other than the previous mentioned difference.
I'll weigh them tonight to get a weight difference (probably very slight... ie. grams), but the CRX SI hub costs $117.21 (from Hondaautomotiveparts.com) and the Integra GSR hub costs $128.42 (from acuraautomotiveparts.net).
anyone else have any other reasons why you WOULDN'T use the GSR hubs? Seems like a 10lb savings.

easier to find.
cheaper.
about it.
some of the purists would say "lighter"

Well if the GSR hub is indeed easier to find and indeed lighter and hence forth not having the same structural flaws that our hubs (ED) have (Information sourced from Road Racing/Auto-X crew) then I'm down.

Kam is just talking about the hub, not the knuckle/hub assembly.
So if it is the same dimensions, save for the hub face (I read his description as it being the diameter was larger), I don't see how there are any geometry changes.

this is correct. the knuckle is the "upright" that bolts to the upper a-arm and LCA.

exactly.
here are some pictures i took (sorry they are crappy, they are from my cellphone). Measurements are rough estimates:
The weight difference is as follows:
CRX Si (as shown) - 1.25lbs
GSR (as shown) - 2.5lbs
obviously, i have longer wheel studs on the GSR, but there's definitely more material on the hub.
The larger hub is going to help keep the brakes cooler by not transferring as much heat from the driveline to the brake rotor...
Bottom Line
the CRX hubs are CHEAPER than GSR and easier to find. if you have GSR knuckles/brakes and want to use CRX hubs, i don't see any reason why you couldn't.
