GSR Calipers/Rotors on CRX SI hubs?
Ok I have looked and looked, and I cannot find the awnser to this. I dont think you can directly bolt gsr calipers and rotors on crx si hubs but is there some sort of kit so this is a bolt on affair.
This has been covered before I am sure of it but I have spent quite a bit of time searching to no avail, so if there is a link plz post it.

No, you cannot directly bolt them onto your CRX knuckles. You would have to modify them (grinding, etc) or you can use either 90-91 Civic EX knuckles or 90-93 Integra knuckles.
also what kind of modifing is needed .. to what extent? is there a how to?
I have the 91 Integra knuckles on my CRX using the 96 GSR brake components and have had no problems. Check this link out:

Also, check the FAQ at the top of this forum under the "Suspension/Brake" category.

I wouldnt call them "problems". DA knuckles are not as good as EX knuckles on our civics and CRX's because the goemetry isnt EXACTILY perfect on our chassis, but with an allignment, you'll be perfectly fine with the DA knuckles

ok i realize with alignment i can get da knuckles will work but ithat isnt what i was looking for.
as the title states what is needed or needed to be done to get GSR calipers to bolt to crx si hubs. Is there some sort of adapter plate needed? one person said some modifing(grinding ect...) is needed ...like what ?

I spent 50 bucks on a complete set of da knuckles for mine to work and 30 on an alignment. Thats to hard to pass up its cheap and easy way to get the brakes working.
If you want to go the hard way it looks like trial and error for you, thats your best bet make them work and think down the road when you buy brake pads you'll have to modify them to fit, alot of work when you can spend 80 bucks and have it done in two hours.
