no they're not the same. The EX front brake system is actually the whole knuckle/hub/caliper/and rotor (10.4) assembly is that of a 94+ Integra's. They're bigger than the Si front brake's system.

auctually the ex and si are not the same (dont know about the abs si though) i got some AEM brakes for my 93 si and they only fit ex's so i had to swap out the brakes for a ex one. Also im pretty sure the si rotors are bigger than the ex. I can check i still have them both

not on the 92-95 HB Si, trust me I have one, it has 4 wheel disc with 9.5" fronts. But I think if it has ABS then it has the 10.4" fronts, not positive though.

So the brakes on my 95 EX coupe are the same as an Integra? How about the rear brakes? I did a drum to disc conv. from a 92 Civic sedan w/ABS to my 95EX, of course sans ABS. Could I have used Integra hardware instead? What's the difference if any in the rear rotor sizes between the Civic vs. Integra? Civic rear rotors are tiny (I've seen more substantial looking brakes on mountain bikes) I realize most of the braking force comes from the front brakes anyway, or to be more specific it comes from the friction between the tire and the road, but now I'm just curious as to what's the level of commonality between the civic and 'Teg.
