Default Brake Upgrade Confusion???

I have searched threads and I am still confused. I want to do a front brake upgrade on my 90 DX. Will a DA front brake assembely bolt directly in?? What problems will I run into or what parts can I use/ not use?? We all know its hard to find and EX front set-up.

I used 93 teg brakes/knuckles on my 88 CRX with a 90 EX 15/16 master cylinder.

Do you guys know if any parts of a DC integra(92-00), specifically an LS will work.

Yes, they are all the same size.

You can even use 94-00 Integra Brake components onto 90-93 Integra knuckles to make them fit on your Civic. That is what I did with my 88 CRX.

Also, the 90-91 Civic EX does have the same size brakes as the Integra. The only difference is the Upper Control arms and the knuckle.

I just swapped some GSR brakes in my CRX. Then I started reading about it..

The problem that I am having is that I have to much positive camper now.. and on one web site it says you get positive caster as well.

I measured the bolts on the brake caliper braket and they are both 14mm apart. So the integra calipers and disks should bolt on to your existing knuckle.. I cant confirm yet because I have not done it yet.. But I will let you know as soon as I get it done

They will not bolt up to the 88-91 knuckles (unless it is the 90-91 EX). It might be possible to make them fit but you will need to custom make some mods. What mods, I am not sure.
