SiR Brakes on 91 Si How did I do???
Here is what I did today... let me know if it all sounds like it should work fine...
In stalled new AGX's using the SiR wishbones. Seemed the same except for the wider wishbone.
Installed the SiR hubs and complete upper A-arm using USDM Tie rods. (wasn't sure if I should have used the longer Sir rods?)
Installed New 91 EX calipers on SiR Rotors and used Sir brake lines. Seems to fit like a glove
Everthing seems to be bolting up fine, but I didn't realize until I was ready to put the wheel on that the lug studs on the "new" SiR hubs were all boogered up and I couldn't get one lug nut on
The passenger side is all complete but hard to tell just how much alignment issue (if any) I may have. I will get new studs pressed in tomorrow but thought I'd ask now while at least the drivers side is apart. Thanks!

should work fine, those wider forks are great you can take the axles out right through them no need to unbolt the fork like civic ones
Thanks man you are right about that! My biggest concern was the tie rod end diff. I had read during several searches that the Sir ends were longer and that might give me too much toe in. It's hard to tell until I get the other side on.
OK, Now what? I do seem to have the Toe Out problem like everyone knows about because I used the Sir knuckles. I'm not sure the alignment shop will have enough threads to work with. I do have the original Sir tie rod ends available. Would putting these on solve my problem, and give more adjustment room? Thanks!
i put just the knuckles on my car. i havent driven it yet an am wondering if i'm going to have a problem with the toe adjustment. I heard somewhere you might beable to cut a bit off the tie rod and cut a lil more thread. I can't tell just by appearance as is how much it needs to be adjusted.
