90-91 EX spindle for big brake upgrades, the Si has the smaller brakes.

90-91 civic 4dr EX (there was no EX 88-89) has the bigger brakes, identical to DA integras. the knuckle geometry is identical to the regular Si knuckle however, which makes it a better swap for the crx. but integra knuckles work fine too and have a bigger bearing also.

dont use any control arm from another car when swapping anything.

some pics are missing.

no, i do NOT have any knuckles for sale.


and i think vap knows a lot about the big brakes. but we'd all like for you to search in the FAQ first.
