Default EF (dx) upgrading brakes from DA (gsr)

story: i own a DA, it blew a fuel line in the engine bay and it caught on fire. so now i have a parted out DA

i also have a EF (dx) and im switching as many parts as possible from the DA. i already switched the rear traling arms and runs fine.

NOW---- i am wanting to get the front disc brakes from the DA into the EF. only reason is beacuse i recently had purchased cross drilled slottered rotors for the DA. so i want them on th EF.

as much as i hate to post a new thread (full for flamers) i couldnt fins that much helpful information. ALL i want is the rotors and calipers from the DA and the tokiko shocks.

my question is: exacly what else do i need/recomend for a legit ride. what proportioning valve to use. can/should i use any other suspension parts??? and is it also a "bolt on" (what hub....) thank thank thank you HT

thank you

DA calipers wont fit on civic knuckles. you have to use the whole DA knuckle. using that knuckle supposedly they give a more positive camber which is only good if you have a lowered car.

i suggest just using the whole suspension off the DA such as the brake booster, master cylinder, prop valve, and both front and rear disc brakes.

THIS IS 100% INCORRECT INFO...LOOK AT THE THREAD IN THE FAQ! THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE AS FAR AS CAMBER!
