Si brakes on a STD hatch

Are Si brakes (9.5 inches) worth putting on a STD hatch (9.1 inches)? A local guy has the whole knuckles for sale for $65.

If you ever want to swap engines, yes. The knuckles are physically bigger and accept the larger axles. And it never hurts to have stopping power

I'll second this.

The Civic DX/LX/Si brakes are also much more common (they came on various Civics, CRXes, and del Sols from '88-00) than the STD/HF brakes, so they're easier and sometimes cheaper to get parts for.
