Default Big brakes

What do I need of a 90-93 Integra to do this? I want to do the Integra brakes all around front and rear for my car. Are all the 90-93 the same? I have an '88 CRX Si.

Get the whole front conversion, but use your stock upper A-arms. For the rear use everything but the LCAs, and I believe you have to use your stock compensator arm. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

bump, I may be picking up the whole setup off this Integra in the junkyard, so I'd like to know.

As for the 90-93 Integra brake upgrade, I would use the rear set up and the portioning valve, but as for the front knuckles and hubs I would try and find 90-91 civic EX 4 door front knuckles first. They use the same brake parts but are made for the civic. The ex knuckles will not make it imposable to do alignments and the steering will not be off do to the longer area needed for integra’s.

Don’t get me totally wrong, many people do use just the Integra set up front and rear. I would just rather go with the EX set up in the front. If you get some more replies to your post, I think you will be able to get a better idea. Also use the search with the site I know you will be able to dig up all sorts of information.

I have this kit and it saves money and headache. You also get to use bigger rotors along with Integra calipers without messing up the alignment and handling. The brakes will completely fill a 15" wheel and will clear all OEM 15" wheels. You may need to run a 5 mm spacer for some aftermarket 15" wheels (depending on offset and spoke design). I have 15"x7" Rota GT3 and I had to run a 5 mm spacer. My friend has 15"x7" Slipstreams and they cleared w/o spacer.

Basically all you need is a Corrado G60 rotor (11.1") and Integra calipers + pads. The kit will come with a hub centric ring to use the G60 rotors.

I'd love to go fastbrakes but I don't have the money for the kit or bigger wheels. I'd gonna try to do EX in the front then because I don't want to mess up the suspension set up. The EX is a straight replacement right and everything works? What exactly do I grab off the EX?

So are the 90-93 Teg front brakes, they will not mess anything up. Of course you will need an alignment right after the install and problem solved. I used this set up in my crx and it drives great!

You're gonna need all this for the front:





Those are actually 90-91 Civic EX brakes I have in my garage. I went with the Teg front brakes because I got the DA Teg (90-93 Teg) knuckles, but used 95 GSR calipers, rotors, pads, etc.

If you wanna keep 14" rims on you can, all you have to do is grind out the inside of the wheel a little. I just have stock 91 crx si wheels so doing some grinding on them didnt effect anything, plus they are painted black so you cant tell.

I like the da brakes a lot and its cheap. well worth it

Here is what the big brakes look like must have 15" you can see how close the clearance is between caliper and wheel.

thanks a lot, what are they going to change with the alignment just out of curiosity. Also, didn't the EX have 14's and aren't the 90-93 brakes the same size?

The DA (90-93) knuckles are a tad taller so you should only use them if you are lowered.
