Default Dx brakes vs. Si brakes

when i got my Si inspected they said that the front rotors where under spec... but they also inspected it as a DX not and Si... I am wondering if the Dx rotors are thicker than the Si's meaning that my rotors might be Ok... any one know the specs on both?

Si/DX/LX = all the same.

The only different ones are the EX.

Ahh... I see now - CRX is weird. For Civic the rotors are the same from STD/DX/LX. The only differences are 88 and 89 are a different part number than the 90 and 91.

CRX is weird... they are showing the HF/DX/Si to ALL have different part numbers. Even the calipers show up differnt!

Weird - learned soemthing new!

the crx si has front and rear solid disc, the dx has front vented, and the HF has thinner front vented.
