if anyone has done this conversion to the front brakes of there EF's please let me know if all i need is the knuckles,calipers,rotors and upper a arm??

thanks....i'm gettting all these mixed info and i just want to know if this does work and won't hurt the cars handling

 

i'm pretty sure you don't need the upper arms. just knuckles calipers rotors pads.

 

can any body confirm this for me and ill be in the bone yard getting a set. found a ex in a rinky dink yard the other day(it had drum rears??)and the guy was like ill take 125$ for them and they were relly rusted so i asked about the knuckles only and he said 75 and went to buy them and ended up he was talking per side so he kept them.

 

My understanding is that the integra knuckles throw the alignment way off. You need the EX knuckles.

 

checked out the two ( EF and DA ) beside each other. . . and the EF upper arm has WAY more caster. . if you use the DA upper arm your car will handle BAD. ( theres prolly like a 3 deg. diff.) There are differences from the JDM EF arm and the USDM arm, but mostly only in the ball joint. . The JDM one has a more low profile ball joint which is good if you want to run your car REAL LOW.

On one of your other topics.. ( 4-5 INCH LOWERING ) you cant lower an EF that much cuz the upper arm sits against the body at about 3.6". . What you DO need is the RYANE dropped knucle. this gives you an additional 2" on that. (providing your tire dont sit on the inner fender. ) They are bout $550 CAN.

BTW. . you still want those wheels. . .

That is correct sir. The Integra Knuckles do not work on an EF. They'll bolt on there, but they are still wrong. You loose more in handeling than you gain in braking.

You need the difficult to find 90-91 Ex knuckles to do this correctly.
