The acura integra's from 90-93 will be a great upgrade to your currect setup. 10'' rotors up front, and disks in the rear. Get the integra booster and MC while you are at it and also a 40/40 proportioning valve. Shocks and Coilovers, I believe you can use your CRX shock fork, but I'm not 100% on that. If you do retain your shock fork, buy the coilovers/shocks as if you were buying them for the crx. E-brake cables: get the ones from a 90-91 crx si.

You can't use 94+ fronts conversion, but you could modified them to fit (calipers and rotor only).

you'll need everything from the Da car.
I have the whole conversion but shipping is going to rape..
Best is you find it locally.

same.

i have a set for sale....


btw, a fresh set of pads, rotors and a good brake fluid flush will dramatically improve your brakes. theres nothing wrong with stock brakes.

I belive this also, but I do want rear discs to make sure I can stop good. I plan to have a low 12 or high 11 second car when the motor is done!

another couple questions; are integra rear discs bigger than crx si's? do 92095 EX sedans have rear discs, if so how do they compare to the tegra's, and rex discs?

rear discs are the same size.

you dont get any better stopping from changing discs in the rear.

It would be interesting to see the comparison between rear disc and rear drums in terms of stopping distance.

I have rear disc on my street car and drums on my race car and my race car stopeed way better.
