Default converting to front brakes from 95 integra

I have the whole front brake setup from a 95 integra that i can use. I have an 89 civic std and the brakes are starting to go out, so I'm wondering if I can swap out the whole thing with the one from an integra. seems like the axles slines different. can I just use the rotor and the caliper from the integra? would it just bolt in or would i have to modify?

thx

Up from the dead

I read that to keep the camber correct you need to swap over to the Integra upper A arm as well as the knuckles.

Does this only apply to the DA's?

I'm swapping over to '98 Integra front and rear brakes and was wondering if I should pull the upper A arm as well as the knuckle assembly?

Anybody know for sure? I may just pull it out anyway.

i recently tried putting jdm eg front spindles on my 91 crx and it had mad + camber... if someone knows the correct upper control arm to use it would be awsome!

Which upper arm did you use to end up with positive camber?

As far as I know the EG and DC arms are the same, so if you used the EG arm and ended up with positive camber, I assume getting the DC arm would be pointless.

Is it not possible to use the stock EF arm with the DA/EG/DC knuckle?

I heard putting integra front suspension and brakes on messes up the handling

i used the ef upper control arms... it might have bee able to be corrected using a camber kit backwards, and probably would have given more room for slicks but the rest of the unknown was what i was afraid of...
