Default DC brakes in my ef

I know that there's something differant between DC and DA brakes I just can't figure out what. (both non abs) But can I still use all the parts of a DC like I would use of a DA to do the big brake upgrade for the crx?

Hell ya and it rocks. I did it to my 91 CRX and it was a fantastic brake upgrade. It bolts right in just like stock with no differences. You need a minimum of a 14" wheel to clear the stock DC brakes though.

Did you have to use any DA 90-03 parts or did you just use everything with the lower control arms and everything right into the crx?

Or if he can get a hold of the sedan EX knuckles, that would be ideal But good luck finding those without paying an arm and a leg

i have 98 gsr front and rear brakes on mine stops really well so that could be another option for you, problem is you need to get the trailing arms and stuff but its a lot easier to find.

Do what I did, I used the DC brake components consisting of : calipers, rotors, pads, caliper bracket. But I slapped all of that on DA knuckles and it worked perfectly.

What knuckles are you currently using? Do you have the ITR 4-lug or the ITR 5- lug set up?

I am getting the rear trailing arms of a DC2 integra, and am also trying to figure out everything I am going to need for the swap. Can I get away with using all of my stock parts but the prop. valve?

Alright, so I am just doing the rear brakes from the DC2, and I have figured everything out, except..

Will the ebrake cables from the DC2, work on my ef hatch?

I really do not want to use stainless brake lines, but If i get some regular brake lines from Autozone, should I get them from a 90-93 or a 94+ ??
