are the 01 civic and base model rsx brakes, rotors, calipers, and pads interchangable?

 

Nope, unless you perform a 5-lug swap.

 

If you swap the knuckles from an RSX they are.

 

i did the five lug i was just wondering if i could use my old civic caliper because my rsx caliper is bad

 

You cannot.

 

I know this is an old thread, but for anyone that's looking this up and is still interested: I have a 2003 Honda CRV in my driveway, and it looks like it's the same or similar spindles as the RSX Type S, with exactly the same bolt pattern for bolting it onto my 2005 Civic EX. This will get me disk brakes on all four corners and 5-lug, and I'm looking to doing the swap within the next couple weeks if they do fit. So if you can't find an RSX, try looking for a 2003 CRV for those spindles and brakes. The only issue I'm seeing is that I don't see a spot to mount the Civic's speed sensor. From what I can tell on the diagram for the suspension is that the speed sensor for the CRV mounts differently from that of the Civic, so may need to carry the sensors over from the CRV to the Civic, if the splines on the axles are the same, and the resolution is the same. Another issue would be if the computer would accept the output sensor at all.

You can see the similarities:

• CRV suspension diagram
• Civic suspension diagram

The sensors are different, but with the same plug. So as long as the resolution on the CV axle is the same, and the computer is cool with the different sensors, it should work fine. I'll test it out.

• CRV sensor
• Civic sensor

 

Hi there,


I am interested on improve breaking.

I am ready to mount Front Caliper from 2004 Pilot using Rotors from 2007 Mini (thiner than Pilots)

For rears, I am planing to use Dust Shields and all Shoes from 2002 to 2008 CRV (in Mexico) Drilling Rotors to keep 4 Lug and e-brake cable.

Please, help me out providing any Advice.

Best Regards from Mexico City
