I know your suppose to use the EF EX front brakes for an upgrade but would it be possible to use 92 - 95 Civic EX front brakes as an upgrade? I see those a lot more than the EF EX brakes.

Contact Brian @ Fastbrakes and then search Big Brakes in the CRX/EF and search archive and current.

i been talking to brian thru email.

I at first wanted the Willwood kit from fastbrakes... but decided that would be over kill and wilwoods need rebulding much quicker then OEM caliper.(due to no dust seals)

so i got interested in the cheaper 11.1 rotor with teg caliper. I thought it would be a ITR calipers but turns out to be reg teg caliper. He told me today that the bracket will work with ITR calipers but i would need bigger rotors ("They can bolt on but they will not fit the rotors correctly they are too
tall." )


so now if i get bigger rotors.... would it work out? could i use his bracket and bigger rotors and make it work on an SI knuckle? would i need a bigger wheel then 15?
