The rears will fit just use your stock LCAs, springs/shocks.

The fronts will fit but I would recommend using either 90-93 Integra knuckles with the 00si brake hardware, or 90-91 EX knuckles.

I suggest getting new trailing arms and using existing control arms, this way your existing shocks/springs will work.

ls rotors are 10.3" crx rotors are 9.5" iirc

The 4040 proportioning valve bolts up nicely to the firewall and brake lines fit perfectly.
