Default 90-93 DA calipers or EX swap?

I am currently in the middle of setting up the suspension and brakes on my 89 CRX and was looking into both of these swaps. But which will i get better braking from? I am also going to pick up a 1'in M/C and B/B and some steel braided lines. I have search both of them but nothing really set them apart to me. Thanks for the help.

Well your not swapping calipers per se. You are swapping the entire Spindle/Knuckle of either a Integra or EX Sedan.

The Integra is longer there for you need to be lowered. The EX is the same length as your current suspension. That is the biggest difference. I personally prefer the EX way better which is the setup I have with ITR calipers.

You can also get an adapter kit from Fastbrakes to put bigger calipers on your stock parts. Which is a REALLY good way to go. http://www.fastbrakes.com Brian is a good guy and knows his stuff.

either or will be fine. They are practically the same. People say that the EX's are a better fit but I have the DA's and they fit just fine.

Well thanks for the info. I guess I am going with the EX swap (found some cheap). Now just need to get some disc in the rear.
