When the crx was 'upgraded' to rear discs, its stopping distance also increased.

get 90-91 4door ex front knuckles.
you can use any 10.3" set up but the 90-91 ex more symmetrically the same because it's an EF. In turn they are harder to come by because of age.

for the rear if you want to upgrade those

any 88-00 with rear discs, and use 88-91 crx si e-brake cables.

Thanks for everyone reply
my neighbor has 92 integra 2 door, he's about dumping the car to a junkyard since it basicly striped out.
he sold me his front and rear complete disc brakes for 100bucks, so i bought it.
he said it should be bolt on to my hf but might have do light mods.
can u guys help me with some input?
what other parts i need to get before i can install the disc brakes.

thanks in advance

I would get all new lower and upper ball joints, tie rod ends, rotors, pads, new SS lines, new fluid, some caliper grease to grease the caliper slides.

thanks for ur input crx jimmy , i tought about that too. I haven't touch them yet , i just got them few days ago and im busy work and school.
im sure someone has done this already, i just need a confirmation that 92 DA front and back rear disc brakes system would work to 88 hf, and if any mods what would that be? Do i need to get DA brake master cilynder and brake booster too?

thanks in advance guys !
