thanks
ok...your 93 eg civic is currently on stock DX knuckles w/ 9.4" front rotors
* good pads, blank rotors, ss lines, fresh brake fluid, a lil grease & tires goes a long way
if you're planning to keep your DX knuckles & upgrading your front brakes w/ oem honda acura parts, there's many options available:
a. DX knuckles > 17cl15vn itr .nsx .legend gs 2-pot . front calipers > machined brackets > 10.3" front rotors

b. DX knuckles > s2000 . rsx. tsx . front calipers > 11" corrado rotor

c. DX knuckles > fastbrakes adapter bracket > 90-01 integra 17cl14vn front calipers > fastbrakes 11" 4X100 rotor

d. DX knuckles > 03 acura cl front calipers > 11" prelude vtec rotors (re-drilled to 4X100)

do you have drum or disc rear brakes?

do you have drum or disc rear brakes?
a. any complete rear disc trailing arm assembly from 88-00 civic/crx, del sol or 90-01 integra
b. keep your drums trailing arms and bolt parts on
when swapping from drum to rear disc, you'll want to consider sourcing a valve proportioner from any rear disc w/o abs
for front brake upgrades, since you have a 93 eg civic, if you upgrade to bigger brakes, it requires more fluid to push the bigger piston. the DX master cylinder won't create enough pressure to accomodate for the bigger set-up. keep your DX booster & upgrade your master cylinder. 90-91 civic EX sedan will bolt on with no modifications, oem honda part # 46100-SH4-A11

b. keep your drums trailing arms and bolt parts on
it's possible to convert from drum to disc (without swapping out your trailing arms) by using a scarebird bracket

-Calipers
And what else?
I'm sorry to jack the ops thread, and I apologize if this question has been asked too many times. I tried to search for info but I can't get the exact answer I was looking for.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the input, Trey! But as good as your idea sounds, I couldn't do it due to the high price of the s2000 caliper here in our area (Not to mention the rarity of it as well).
I just want something that I can scrap from the wreckers.
When you said I just needed the front knuckle, did you mean the front knuckle of the 90-93 Integra?

I don't think the 90-93 knuckle is the same as the 94+ teg knuckle. I could be wrong though.
PM BE2 for the S2000 front setup. I got mine from him.
