Default Brakes

I purchased a 95 Si for $500 and I have been putting back pieces that had been removed. One of the items up next are the front brakes. The previous owner(s) have swapped the 10.25" rotors and calipers for 9.5" rotors and calipers.

My question is, do you have to swap the knuckles out to put the 10.25 set up back on or can you just get the calipers and rotors?

The knuckles are two different castings, but you can put ITR (11" rotor) sized brakes on the knuckles you have right now. You can get the calipers, rotors and pads off a Type R, a Honda Accord wagon or a CRV. You have to do some modification, but they will physically fit.

Make sure you have the correct brake master cylinder and prop valve if you mess with brakes. It may be perfectly functional with a larger or smaller master cylinder but the wrong prop valve can make you wear brake pads out prematurely from what i have read.

I don't want to do any machining or modifications, just restore it they way it was from the factory. I can get Integra knuckles and trailing arms for $120 a side and a 5 lug swap for $500.

I know the 92-93 Si has 9.5" rotors and the 94-95 Si has 10.25" rotors.

The main point of this thread was to ascertain if the knuckles were different so I didn't waste money.

This car has had just about everything raped from it that makes it an Si except the moon roof, lol. The front brakes have swapped out, rear trailing arms, brakes and sway bar, seats and cluster. Basically this car is a DX with a factory moon roof, and an EH3 VIN.
