What car is it?

I have a 90 SI and I used the fronts off of a DA 90-93 works.
You need the knuckles or spindles whatever you want to call them, the rotors, the calipers. It would be best to get new rotors and pads and not use the junk yard stuff. Your brake lines may work not sure grab the DA ones just in case.
The spindles bolt up just fine you will have to get the front end realigned the DA knuckles have a longer arm that sticks out for the tie rod end. Everything just bolts up like you took it off. If your car is a std model then the axles will not fit in the DA hubs they are different.

You can use the rears too get the ebrake cables, brake lines because they are different for discs, and the trailing arms.
