I have a 90 DA and the front wheel bearings are shot. I also have 95 gsr knuckels with a leaking caliper in the garage. Are the calipers capable of being swapped? Could i use the gsr knuckels with the DA calipers?
I was always told they were different but ive seen ef's and da's with itr suspension. How could i swap this around?

Ive seen it done amd the only problem the guy said was radical camber, so he corrected it with a camber kit. Thanks though.

DA knuckles are taller
Depending on the angle of your upper control arms, using shorter DC knuckles could put your camber into the positive zone.
IMHO doing that along with a camber kit would be a band-aid solution. You should use the correct parts for your car.

You can't "correct" an altered camber curve with any camber adjustment kit existing on the market. It's not a problem of static camber, it's a problem of dynamic camber because you're changing the angle of the upper and lower control arms relative to each other by shortening or lengthening the knuckle. Wonky static camber at certain ride heights is just a byproduct.
As Patrick mentioned, it's a hack job that is more of a band-aid than a "fix." I'd just change the wheel bearing(s) in the DA knuckles.
