Default steering knuckle question

Does anyone know what model civics had 4 wheels ABS that used the Nissin brake calipers besides the 94 LX sedans? I'm trying to hunt down a steering knuckle to replace my 94 LX knuckle.

I like the bigger calipers and rotors. I've also no idea how to do that anyway. Does yours have Nissin Calipers in the front?

idk . you can just take out the abs stuff. no need for anything else. just unhook it all and all the lines and cap them at the calipers

You're saying just replace my entire inner braking system, minus calipers and rotors?

the knuckle is bent and smashed up?
any junk yards around you? i think it was an option when first buying them . ive seen LXs with and without abs. i never seen any dx or ex with abs. you could always get gsr front knuckles. thats what i did and those were abs but i just took off the abs thingy and they went right on.

the 92 and under integras use a slightly different knuckle and wont work, but all the del sols with abs will work.

happy we could help, good luck with it, have some pb blaster, a pickle fork and an impact ready when you take that apart, you are gonna need it, that stuff gets stuck together bad. oh and make sure you check for bent lca's etc, and get an alignment.
