Default EG brake rotor/caliper differences, ex, dx, cx, and si differences

What's up HT, I ordered a ton of parts and just threw them all on this past weekend, when I got to my rotors that I ordered from Summit, I realized that the rotors they sent me, even though listed for use with Dx and Ex models, are about an inch bigger than the rotors I pulled off, which meant that the mounting ears on my calipers no longer lined up, they were about a half an inch off.

The outside diameter on their site lists the rotors at 10.310 in, now I like the idea of bigger rotors so my question is, if I were to use Ex calipers, would I have to switch to an Ex spindle/steering knuckle/hub as well? Or will the ex calipers bolt up to my dx?

I tried searching around but I couldn't find a definitive answer, any help is greatly appreciated!

You need EX/Integra knuckles as well. Integra calipers a bit better than EX but use the same size rotor.

Don't tell me you searched when you KNOW you didn't. One of the stickies in the Brake & Suspension forum deals SPECIFICALLY with this question!!!
https://honda-tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes-54/brakeexperts-brake-chart-thread-civic-brake-upgrades-ef-eg-ek-integras-3044628/

So did you even try the search feature? Did you bother to look in the other forums? Nope. Just show up, demand an answer and expect others to do the footwork you should have done.
