yes that will work.
My friend put 94 GSR knuckles and brakes on his 88 CRX Si.
so I know for a fact that 94 and up GSR will work
I am not sure if the CRX 14" rims will clear the calipers though.
the Civic 14" HX alloy rims will not clear the GSR calipers
I know the Del Sol 14 alloys clear the calipers, and just about all 15" rims will clear as well.
you can use your current axles.

no, use search.

alignment will be fubared and camber curve will be ruined.

Get 90-91 EX front brakes

I third this. Won't work.

Does anyone know how much longer/taller the integra knuckles are?

They will bolt on, but it will screw up the geometry of the suspension. If I'm not mistaken, it will increase the distance between the upper and lower control arms.

Its worth the time to wait for finding the EX knuckles. They're tough to find, but look hard and you'll find them. If they all worked the same as indicated in some of the upper posts, there wouldn't be a huge demand for the EX ones.

I can get you the knuckles from a 90-91 CIVIC EX for 170 shipped

different year TEG/Accord/legend/civic calipers are the same and are interchangable and VERY easy to find locally

If you still have your old Si knuckles, compare the distance from the top to the bottom ball joint and see if there is a difference. I honestly don't know what the difference is, but I'm fairly sure you'll see a difference. Also check the distance out to where the steering tie rod attaches.

You might not notice a big difference in the handeling, but if there is in fact a difference in the distance between upper and lower arms, then your suspension isn't performing as it should.
