the SiR knuckles are the same as 90-91 civic ex knuckles. they use 10.3" rotors, which you can find on any 90-01 integra, 99-00 si, 90-01 civic ex. the pads you'll need are from the 90-91 civic ex. $175 for SiR knuckles is steep, does that include s/h as well? sir knuckles for $175, the 90-93 integra or 90-91 civic ex knuckles would cost much less in a local junkyard. you can also use the knuckles from any 94-01 integra as well, they use a bigger caliper stamped 17CL14VN. when buying knuckles online (or imported), keep in mind that you will not be able to inspect it before purchasing, they could be selling you a set-up (w/ bad bearings or hubs, seized calipers, etc), which could end up costing you more money in the end.

Find someone who bought a front clip, most of the time they come with the SiR front set up.

the ones on your Si are the DX knuckles, they're found on 88-00 civic. the SiR's are almost identical to the civic EX/ 90-93 integra knuckles, dump your DX's...

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1104305

the dx uses a 9.4" rotor w/ smaller calipers, the 90-91 civic ex/90-93 integra & SiR knuckles use 10.3" rotors w/ bigger calipers.
