Default swaping da knuckles in my 91 crx si

I know they bolt right up. Question is will the si calipers bolt up still? I have to swap to da knuckles to use DSS 5.9 axles, other wise I wouldnt swap out the spindle arms...I am going to junkyard to pull the da knuckles, just want to know if I should pull the brakes with them?

I did a search and most info tells me I can use any brakes but nothing says keeping the original brakes...
thanks

i would use the da assembly together with the brakes and knuckles....i believe everthing on the da compare to the crx brake wise are bigger....so to save you the trip and trouble....do the knuckles and brakes...side note..coming from the yard and you taking the knuckles off...you might as well change the wheel bearings and pads.

I have to swap the hubs for DSS 5.9's anyways so I will replace the bearings. I just dont want to have to do a whole brake swap.... I guess I could sell the si spindles...lol

ya everything is bigger on the da so i highly doubt the si caliper will work on it. if your gona be at the junk yard anywase just grab si caliper off a junk car and eyeball it to see if it will work.

Yup get everything, also you might want to get the brake booster too, I did. And my brakes are so much stronger now.
