Default Some questions about DSS level 3.9 (old level 5) axles in '94 vx

I picked up a set of level 5 axles and hubs (now level 3.9) a few years ago for a good price.I am looking at using them in my dd this spring.I had an old set of level 2's last year and twisted the mid shaft end off them.It was with 300 ish hp w/drag radials on a slick track.I was trying a few things to get hooked up on a slick track and got it to hook a little to well.It broke on the first/second shift.I talked with DSS and they said $75 to repair with an updated end.Fair enough to me.
Anyway I looked at what I need to use the level 3.9. I can get '94 & up Integra knuckles for $120 delivered to my door.I'm guessing my 9.5" rotors and calipers won't work with these knuckles.So that's $250 ish for brake parts.
Now will the stock vx alloys fit over the Integra 10.5" rotors and calipers?I have my DR's on 15" wheels for the track,but I use the vx wheels daily.
Anything else that I am over looking?

No your calipers and rotors wont work. I had to do the same thing. I had to dump my 93si froint disc set up for a 99 civic si set up in order to run thier new 5.9s, it has to do with the spline size and the amount of room the bearing has to offer on its inner diameter.


i would just hit the yards or on here for a set of integra or 99si fronts, i got my 99 front stuff locally for 50 bucks COMPLETE

I see they list eg w/abs,97-00 civic ex/si,or 94 & up Integra knuckles.I'm guessing these are all 10.5" rotors.I'm thinking the vx 13" alloys won't fit over these.If I need a new set of wheels for DD I just might give the level 2 axles another try.

That maybe my best option at this point.I saw that they sell the 3.9 using the small bearing hub but I thought it might have a smaller spline diameter too.You think they use the same spline with the smaller o.d. hub.

Yep they do, I used to run the civic brakes then got the newer hubs for the integra brakes.
