Default disk brake swap

Ive gotta 91 crx hf stocker, and i wann upgrade the brakes. I have already purchased the rears from 93 teg as well as the brake booster and master cylinder. Oh, I got the 4040 prop valve too. As for the front swap, can I use the integra spindles or should I go with the Si equipment? Do I need the Si e-brake cables and rear brake lines as well? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Please tell my I bought the right components.

As far as brakes lines and cables go, yea get them all from the teg, as far as the front goes, I think the HF's have smaller axels, someone correct me if im wrong.

Best way to do a Front brake conversion is to do it what u do an engine swap..
For ex.. If u do a USDM B16 get the Si front brake assembly.. makes it alot easier.

For the rear discs, the teg offers all that you need. Hit up autozone, and order the brake lines for a 88-91 crx Si W/ REAR DISCS. You can use the ebrake cables from it. Everything else is direct plug and play on the rear. Can't help you on the front side.

Yeah, but it throws off the camber a bit...at least I thought i heard someone say that...where as the EX is direct bolt on. Something along those lines...? Correct me if wrong?

I used the DA knuckles and all I did was get an alignment after it was done and my 88 crx runs like a champ and stops on a dime.

...anyone got these things for sale?

haha, just kidding. I'm broke right now.

However, they're MUCH easier to find than EX knuckles. I'll consider my swap next summer when I can hav ea job again.

I would recommend only buying the calipers and knuckles from a junkyard.

Buy your rotors brand new. Most of the rotors I find at the junkyard are worn beyond serviceable limits. Maybe you guys have a little more luck around your parts.
