Hey guys I have tried searching but no luck my searching skills r beat.

I would like to know what r my options for bigger front brakes and rear disc conversion?

Im pretty sure this has been covered over and over im sorry.

 

The rear discs will be purely an aesthetic mod. I went with bigger front brakes because I would experience brake fade when driving a bit hard. I used the Fasbrakes.com 11.1" kit that uses VW Corrado Rotors and Integra DC calipers. I love it.

 

fasbrakes.com does not work

is the corrado rotors a dc calipers pure plug and play no brackets needed?

is there a rotor and caliper combo from honda thats plug and play and is bigger than the original ef?

and even if the rear discs r just for aesthetics what is needed? (im function over form all day everyday with a hoodie on but if i could do the rear conversion for cheap y not)

 

Did my rear conversion 4 $150 u could use any civic or integra rear brakes from 88-99 I beleive

 

use good blanks and the right pads and you will never need to upgrade if your master cyl is in good condition.

Everthing else is bling.

 

Fastbrakes.com loaded up for me fine. It uses their bracket plus the parts I mentioned before. I used 2000 integra rear trailing arms and ebrake cables for my conversion. I re-used my EF toe arms and upper arms.

 

I did "upgrade" mostly for bling. I will only say that the bigger front brakes are better when I put the car through the same paces as before and see and actual difference

 

that is true, but its allways nice to have a greater surface area for friction when it comes to breaks. plus not too many pple will be able to tell the difference between the stock ef front brakes over something bigger but still from honda so its not really bling

 

you can use the rear disc setup off of either a 92 or 93 DA integra. i took the whole rear suspension pretty much and it bolted straight up for me

 

get a set of 90-91 ex front knuckles,da rear disk conversion,4040 valve and 90-91 ex master cylinder and brake booster...!!!

 

Im guessing with those front knuckles i can run the integra rotor and caliper set up just da or can u run dc too?

sorry guys im a complete noob to ef's i found a really clean one(not as in jdm or w/e but as in no rust and decent condition chassis on has 99k) so im trying to get some info on this thing.

 

the 90-91 ex is bigger brakes.. its easier than the DA conversion.

 

That's because it's www.fastbreaks.com

 

^ we figured that out. when he first posted the t in fast was missing.

and 90renosedan the one im lookin at is a 91 dono if its ex or not

 

If you find 90-91 EX sedan knuckles then you are lucky. Your best and easiest bet will be getting 90-93 DA Integra knuckles.

 

ex are the same as da knuckles, because they have the bigger rotors/calipers. i have a whole front assembly for an ex. but yes, ex's are hard to come by.

EDIT: EX sedan

 

Explain this, please.

 

the knuckles are a direct bolt up. so the suspension geometry isn't thrown off.

 

That doesn't make it easier. DA knuckles are direct bolt-up also. You still need to have the car aligned. Most people won't ever notice the handling difference.

 

i'm not trying to cause a h-t argument. its also a preference thing for me, when you can go into the autoparts store and ask for civic parts on your civic. instead of acura parts on your civic.

 

DA knuckles are taller than EX knuckles. I just sold my EX brake setup for $500.

as far as your bigger brakes... here's a cheap good route https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/easiest-brake-upgrade-you-never-knew-about-details-inside-1171175/

 

Another option, if you have the DX or Si knuckle, is to use the Corrado rotor like already mentioned and S2K or RSX Type S calipers. You will only need to buy hub rings for the rotors since the center bore is slightly bigger and you will have to slightly grind the center of the bracket so it clears the hat of the rotor...

 

$500!
Dang... I still have a set of SiR knuckles I want to sell. $300 fair with cut brake lines?

SiR is the other option not listed in the thread.
Same suspension geometry as the stock components.
Uses EX/DA brake components.
Is more durable than EX because knuckle is thicker/beefier.
Uses larger DA wheel bearing.
Accepts B series axles without removing dust ring.

Downside - Tie rod hole is located further inward and requires a minor mod to outer tie rod to compensate for toe (cut off some threads).
