Sure, but the fact that they will not fit under your calipers and will scrape and have sparks flying out won't be better.

I wouldn't recommend it, some people say they have used 92-00 Civic knuckles and/or 94-01 Integra knuckles but the others say they do not work. Use DA or 90-91 EX Civic sedan knuckles instead.

Ahhh, that you never said. Well the calipers & caliper bracket aren't just going to fit on your stock knuckle. You can, however, slap them onto DA or 90-91 EX Civic Sedan knuckles.

No no no, please re-read my previous post. The 99 EX calipers and rotors you have are the same size as the 90-91 EX Civic Sedan. You need different knuckles that will fit on your CRX.
