Default SIR rotors with stock calipers?

Will the stock calipers off my 91 STD work with SIR rotors? I am doing ab16 swap and need to know if the stock calipers work with the SIR hubs knuckles

I doubt it cause the SIR rotors are bigger then the stock rotors.

Use Si rotors and you'll be fine.

I thought SIR brakes were the same as 90-91EX/90-93 integra size 10.3. Si rotors are smaller.

Yes I know the sizes but he has stock STD calipers, not SIR/Teg/Civic EX calipers, so why would he use SIR rotors with stock STD calipers?

I think your post confused some people. Most people post things like "Will the SiR rotor fit on my STD knuckles with STD calipers". That's not what you wrote. You want to know if "stock calipers work with the SIR hubs knuckles"

Well, your to answer your question it's "no". The SiR uses the same caliper as the EX sedan and possilby the Integra. Those are your choices. YOUR stock caliper is the STD caliper which I believe is the same caliper for the DX,LX, and Si as well. They won't fit over the larger rotor from the SiR. I'm not even sure if they would bolt up to your SiR knuckle.

Solution - go buy EX calipers from Pep Boys or AutoZone. Later on take back your STD calipers for the core charge. You don't want some crusty old used calipers.

EDIT - I don't know how long my site will be up because I canceled cable modem about 2 weeks ago, but here is what I did to do to make those SiR knuckles work on my Civic http://home.socal.rr.com/civic...x.htm
