Default any diff in calipers? 12 inch rotor

I have a 90 crx si
i bought a big brake kit for a integra
its the kind that uses the stock caliper by using a braket to move the caliper out
everything fits except,
my caliper is hitting the rotor.

so i am asking if there is a difference with the calipers?
da/ef ? are they the same or different?

i am hoping there is and i can just buy the integra calipers to make this kit work.

thanks again for help

The steering knuckles are different b/w integra and your civic. The kit will not fit without swapping to 90-91ex or 90-93teg knuckles.

May I ask why are you putting on 12" rotors?

I appreciate the response.
using the 12 inch, mostly for looks, but have ls swap and plan to turbo.
also like running auto cross.

the rotor fits the crx hub.
the brackets fit the crx knuckle.
the bracket fit the crx caliper.

but the caliper is to close and hits the rotor.

i need to know if the caliper is different.
because if the caliper mounts like a half inch more out,
it will work.

so again,,,, is the calipers different or the same?
because if they are the same caliper, then it wont work.

The teg caliper and knuckle are different from your civic. The caliper mounting is spaced farther out to accommodate the 10.2" rotors. So if the kit is made to fit a teg caliper and knuckle then thats what you need to make it fit.

PS. You DONOT need 12" brakes for autox. Stock size are usually enough.
