hmm, makes me wonder that too. isnt the caliper bracket a piece of its own, mated to the knuckle? if so, would any other caliper and bracket work to allow a slight bigger brake upgrade?

Have you looked in the FAQ's? There's a write up about upgrading your brakes.

Yeah my man, there are a lot of different options to go bigger by just using OEM Honda/Acura parts. What car do you have?

Milled Type-R calipers + 4x100 Integra rotors = 10.3" front brakes.

Teg, EX and SiR have the same caliper bracket mounting locations on the knuckle.
DX is different.
So no... the DA caliper will not bolt to the DX knuckle.
