The driverside you need a 90-93 integra axle(abs or not) The passengenr side you can use basically any b-series axle..

If you're crx is an HF then you need to get some SI/DX/EX/LX hubs..You dont have to use the 90-93 hubs..But you can if you want..And you have remove the dust ring from inside the knuckle and rubber ring off the axles otherwise the axle(s) will bind..

It's better if you go get it from a auto store.
It's about 100 a pair with core... Lifetime warranties

My friend did a b18a1 swap in his 90 civic hatch and he said the stock Integra axles didnt work until he pu the whole integra brake assembly on his front wheel. So does anyone know who makes axles that i can get so i can just put the axles on and that is it would work for the 91 crx dx with a b18a1 swap (my buddys doin)?

did your friend have the STD model (4 speed) hatch? that would be the only reason the 90-93 Integra axles wouldn't fit - 4 speed STD and CRX HF have smaller hubs

90-93 Integra axles are what you need

You are exactly right. he does have the 4 speed.
Does that mean i could just use the stock integra 90-93 axles and they would fit right on?

You said you have DX so yes they will work for you..Just have to remove the dust rings from inside the hub and on the axle(s)..If you want some good cheap new axles check out rockauto.com..

Inside the knuckle there is a dust ring..And on the axle on the hub side there is a rubber ring..You just pop them off/out with a small screwdriver..When I first started swapping back in the day I forgot to do that and when I tryed to turn the car it would bind and the wheel would go lopsided,,

wait he can use the integra axle without swapping knuckles? it sounds like the guy wants to use integra axles on a 91 CRX knuckle... and i thought you couldn't ... this is why i swapped out the entire thing... because the spline count on the two are different... maybe i was miss-informed

Yeah you can use integra axles with civic/crx hubs/knuckles as long as they are not STd or HF models..

No,,you're fine..If you had an HF or STD model then you would need to do a hub swap..And you dont need hasport axles,,They're just trying to rape you in pricing..You can use standard 90-93 integra axles..

You can also use SIR axles. These are actually a perfect fit on a Civic/CRX without removal of the dust seals. They can be made by piecing together the inner joints from a 1990-1993 Integra with the outer joints and shafts from a 1986-1989 Integra. But you have to use the 1990-1993 Integra intermediate shaft. It is a little more work to use these axles. But the OEM-perfect fit and the extra line of protection the dust seals give the wheel bearings is reason enough for me to go this route.`

I have an 88 Si and I only had to use the 90-91 integra axles, no swaping the calipers or hubs.
