after only 10,000 miles my brakes are going out again. (note so self: never buy advanced auto brakes.) anyway i'm thinking of doing an upgrade including larger rotors and calipers and need some help. i'm using the stock 14inch rims and will need to clear them. thanks for your help in advance.

i tried to search but could only find help for 15inch rims and cant afford both brakes and rims right now.

 

91 Civic EX

Go find one, take it's front knuckles and calipers. Also the Master Cylinder while you at at it.

i just added brembo rotors, gran sport carbon ceramic pads, new shoes and drums. And my CRX stops just as good as the 4-wheel disc civic i used to own...

just a thought, keep it stock, OEM sizes, but brand name parts....

listen to this guy, they are 10.2 inch front rotors. You also will get a perfect alighnment from them.

 

Also the 90-93 Acura Integra front brake knuckles bolt in as well. Those are just about the same size. And <U>after</U> you swap in the new knuckle, I would put a good pad and rotor on it. Along with a 15/16'' MC.

 

All I did was buy stainless steel brakelines because I didn't really trust the lines on a 16 year old car.
