i have a crx hf w/ b16a in it w/ 90-93 (non-abs)teg axles on it. Is it possible for me to still have the HF rotors and calipers or would they not work with teg axles. is there any way for me to find out what calipers I have, ie. part # markings on caliper?
I want to buy the 11'' brake kit from fastbrakes and am not sure if the rotors would work with my calipers.
please help...

 

If its OEM parts. There is no way that the axles will fit in a HF hub. Now it could be DX/SI spindles which discs are about 9.? inches or it could be teg/EX or something other then that which are 10.3 inch discs. Need to measure to see what size they are and go from there.

 

I'm in complete agreement with what he just said too. Measure what you have. One thing is certain, they are NOT HF or STD brakes.

 

thanks, I'll measure my rotors. If I want to change my calipers and rotors, am I going to have to do anything besides drain the brake fluid, take off the old calipers and rotors, and replace? I.E. new hubs, or such?

 

Depends on what spindles are being used....if there still the puny HF/STD calipers and rotors 9.? inches with the DX or better hubs will need all new spindles, now if you have 10.3 inch rotors you can get the kits for them and just swap the rotors and caliper, bleed brakes and drive on

 

i measured my rotors, they are 9.5''.
I am wondering why the HF's won't fit the teg axles though?
could someone explain it to me?

 

THe teg axels won't fit because the splined hole in the hub is too small. TEG axels at that part are same size as DX and Si axels but bigger than the STD or HP axels. Thats why original hubs and brakes have to be swapped on HF and STD models.

Bingo, so this means you no longer have at least the HF/STD hubs. The brake calipers and rotors are the same size. You can get the kit that listed for 88-91 Civics there all the same. But does fast brake make a kit for this set up? Never seen one only seen for the 10.3 inch rotors. I may be wrong though, or they may have came up with one since I last checked

here is the thread about fast brake's 11'' kit
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=296041
so since I have a 9.5'' (or 9 something) this means I could only have the crx si or dx hubs/calipers? right?
I am thinking right now that the best thing for me to do is to take my brake pad into a auto store and tell them to match it up. I guess that is the easiest way to find out. I know that all of the crx's (dx si and HF) use different calipers and pads, so this should work.
