I want to nab the CRX Sir brakes, what caliper does it use?
Well the brakes are the same size as the integra ones I believe, and they are designed for a civic. However I don't know what type of caliper they use, anyone know? CRX Forum? ha ha. It would suck to have to find pads for parts not made in america.

dont get them , the knuckle is different and you will need different tie rod ends that arent available here.

He is not telling you a lie! I had to find out the hard way but I was lucky enough to sell em off to someone else before I got discouraged.

I can confirm that they do indeed use 90-93 integra calipers. And if you use the SiR knuckles you will have to get ahold of SiR tierods. USDM CRX tierods don't work without modifying them.

Re: I want to nab the CRX Sir brakes, what caliper does it use? (ProjectDarkBlack)
so i guess youd be better off getting 90-91 EX knuckles. those have integra brakes too with wider spacing for larger rotor, but knuckle is otherwise identical to Si.

Are you sure it's 90-91 kuckles and not 92-95? Someone confirm this please.
Also, will someone post the link to buy the JDM CRX SiR tie rods. I need them badly.

100% sure. 90-91 EX, no EX model prior to 1990.
i've sold a few sets. here are pics of you arent convinced.
you dont want to use EG knuckles on an EF.
if anyone has a source for UK/JDM parts, id like to know too quite frankly.

So the 90-91 EX has a setup similar to a 90-93 integra? Interesting. I never knew that. I'll have to do some junkyard hunting asap.

Yes, similar but not identical.

Re: I want to nab the CRX Sir brakes, what caliper does it use? (EL Vap133)
rotor and caliper are the same.
the rears however are drum brakes on the EX.
and fwiw has a 3540 brake prop valve, not a 4040. and the largest EF MC size 15/16", and brake booster 9" vs normal EF 8".

Re: I want to nab the CRX Sir brakes, what caliper does it use? (Tyson)
OK, I have SiR knuckles on my car and they do work!!!!!!!!!
The tie rods need to be adjusted out to work but they do fit. The SiR brakes and Calipers are the same as a 90-91 EX only(not si,lx,dx), The EX fits easier but the knuckles on the SiR are more beefly. It also works best with an Integra non-abs proportion valve. Do not use integra knuckles or try to put teg rotors and cal on a non ex/SiR hub, they won't fit. The teg knuckles sit further back in the wheel well and it looks funny.
