96 Gs-R to 96 Civic Lx Brakes??
My buddy has a 96 Gs-r that was stolen and totaled.. He bought the car back and is now building a 97 hatch.. My Question is........Will the front brake assembly fit on my 96 Civic Lx and is it even worth the swap?? From the looks of it the caliper is a bit bigger on the Gs-r so i dont see why it would hurt.. Just wondering...

Can i take that from the Gs-r?? And for the rear do I use the all the gsr parts or what? I heard of a guy on here that used everything from a gsr and had alot of camber and I dont want that.

No you wont. The pedal will depress a little farther but the car will still stop much faster.

Use the whole GSR trailing arm. There is another little arm (Im not sure what its called) that bolts up to adjust your camber. Dont swap that KEEP that one from your car.

Yes it will work, use your stock upper arms. Why doesn't anyone check the FAQ's before they post these brake questions?
