that is why you should be purchasing your brake parts at Honda!

do you want to stop or merely slow down!

cheap, reliable, fast- pick 2

price, service, quality- pick 2

Most of the road race guys buy cheap/inexpensive autozone rotors and buy good pads. Its the pads that does most of the work.

Sorry I've never ran into that problem as I am not running those brakes....yet.

They are idiots. Just like the people who swear that 88-91 Si brakes and the 90-91 EX brakes are the same.

Just order them as if you are getting them for any Integra 90-01, or 99-00 Civic Si.

So, stock CRX front rotors are 9.5" while stock Integra front rotors are 10.25"?

Does it require a knuckle swap to put the 10.25" rotors onto a CRX? I'm pretty sure that I heard 90-93 Integra knuckles will swap with 88-91 CRX knuckles.

okay so i found napa auto parts has the correct rotor and they are 23.99 while autozone is 27.99. and yes to answer your question any dx lx model has a 9.5 while the teg and civic ex have 10.25. and i don't get all into swapping knuckles but what i just did was i purchased the entire spindle of the ex model for my lx at the junkyard for $65 both sides

Correct! No the Integra knuckles and the 88-91 CRX knuckles are different. You cannot swap components from one to another unless you make some modifications. Search for a thread on here made by member "Brake Expert" and he has a write up on how to modify them.
