Ok this should be simple, there is a wrecked EX locally, EX front brakes are bigger than CX front brakes, aren't they? What is needed to put these 97 EX brakes on my 96 CX? I already know I'll need 14" wheels to fit over the caliper so there's no need to mention that. Is this a bolt on procedure?

the EX brakes are bigger. the CX brakes uses a 9.4" (19mm) rotors, the EX uses a 10.3" (21mm) rotors...same rotors found on the 90-01 integra.

the complete EX knuckles (spindles, hubs, calipers), pretty straight forward. you'll need an alignment after the swap

 

Don't forget to pick up the EX 14" spare tire/wheel as well if you carry one.

You will probably want to swap in the EX master cylinder also. The larger front caliper pistons require more fluid to move, and using them with the smaller CX master cylinder will result in a long pedal travel.
