Default Will CRX Si front brakes fit on a 4 speed hatchback?

I just picked up a 90 hatchback 4 speed last weekend as a daily. It needs front brakes replaced. I have a full front brake set-up from my CRX Si, since I beefed them up a couple weeks ago. Is this a direct fit? I don't have to worry about axle fitment if I change out the knuckles do I? I guess that was my main worry...

Thanks!

The SI brakes are a direct fit. Basically, the Civic STD uses DX/SI brakes on an HF kunckle.

Ok thanks for the reply. I'll be using the calipers, knuckles, rotors and pads from the Si then.

nope they will not fit. you need Si axles to make this work.
