Default 97 EX Brakes on RT4WD wagon

I'm assuming that 97 ex calipers and rotors are a direct swap. I looked in the faq and couldn't find anything specific for wagons. I think they have the same knuckle as the ex/si, which makes me think It should bolt right up.

LMK if you think otherwise.

Ok I was given the wrong pads at the store, which accounts for some of my problems.

With the rotor off I was able to get the caliper mounted fine, but with the rotor on the caliper does not make it all the way to the two mounting points. Is there a knuckle or adapter bracket that will allow me to use the larger diameter rotor and caliper.

notes: ROTORS are 10.3 in diameter and 21mm thick
CALIPERS are from a 97 civic ex

my best educated guess is to use the knuckles from a 97 civic ex as well as the upper control arm and ball joint, but I am not sure if these parts are interchangable with ef civics.
