Default itr caliper upgrade

I boughts a pair of front itr calipers for my 89 ef dx. I was wondering if I would need to change the brake power booster as well as the MC to 15/16th. Would a 15/16 MC works with my stock brake booster? It would save alot of money if i didn't need the new power booster.

Yah you can use your stock booster. Unless you get a mc off of a da then you'd need the booster as well. I use the mc's off of the 90 preludes or 90-91 civic ex

are you wanting to do the OEM Big Brake setup with 11.1" rotors or the 10.3" rotors? One uses 90-91 EX knuckles/90-93 DA the other uses your stock stuff.

would the 11" inch upgrade be possible using the DX hub with a spacer?

Give me a few days and I'll have a whole write up on doing this swap with pics, before and after alignment specs etc. I have all of info, just need to get time to sit down and do it.

I'm going to stick with the 10.3" brakes and itr calipers. My car actually feels ok with stock brakes and axxis ultimate pads....but bigger is always better... I dont feel like swapping out hubs.

anyone have a 15/16 MC they dont need?

The bigger brake booster is not really worth doing. Itll be too sensitive a pedal, and the brake lines won't line up, it'll be a hassle.

On a side note, yes I have an MC but its a 1", and PM me if you need the brackets milled or your pads done.
