I will be installing the 99-00 Civic Si brake setup in the rear of my 97 DX...now my question is if I should get the 99-00 SI front brake setup as well...how much larger are the rotors in the rear than in the front? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

Hell yeah, it is better to get the front Si brakes if you want to achieve better stopping power in the longrun. The Si front rotors are 10.3" I believe.

On my 97 dx, I went with 99-00 Si Front & Rear brakes, 99-00 Si MC/BB, and steel braided lines. Now the car stops on a DIME compared to the puny dx brakes.

 

yeah get the Si Front Brakes!

 

anybody know what parts are needed to install the SI brakes upfront?

 

I see that brake questions are prominent today. Go for it dude hardcore braking.

 

Si brakes = Ex brakes
If youre upgrading...at least go to integra brakes.
The knuckle required for you do upgrade anything is the same one for the ex/si/integra/abs...so why not step up to a larger caliper piston, if youre already upping 2/3 things up front (knuckle and rotor).

And yes, its getting warmer and everyone thinks they need to change their braking at the same time...but NO ONE thinks to search a little...
