Will "DA" integra FRONT calipers and rotors fit on 89 crx si?
if they fit then it should be a cheap brake upgrade, right? granted not a big diff. but enough to make a diff. I tried search and could only find stuff on the rears.
is this a direct swap? Will i run into porportioning (sp?) problems? is it even worth doing for 25 bucks?

the rotors will fit, but the calipers won't reach. you need the knuckles like 4drEF said. a crx si mc is great upgrade, too.

4drEF

Could you go into more detail?
Does Caster, Camber, Toe, SAI . (Steering Axis Inclination.). and Roll center heights stay within useable parameters?
How much is roll center height altered by the increased height of the Integra knuckles?


Please post info and your cars alignment setting specs in this thread.

BIG Brake upgrade, Will 91 Integra Knuckles fit a 90 DX lowered 2 inches?

Some people use teg knuckles and supposedly have no probs....the JDM Xsi knuckles I installed on a fellow H-Ters car(91STD, complete XSI VTEC swap) gave the front end slight positive camber and a little toe-in at stock height. But some 2" springs will fix the camber(will leave it around -.5), then simply set your L/R toes to zero and you are ready to roll.

Thanks for the info.

If you run accross any more info please post it in the thread mentioned above.

I'm concerned with the changes made to roll center heights, roll axis, camber change during cornering as some have said the Integra steering kunckles are "taller" than the Civic parts. If so this would change the parameters of the above items.

Thanks again for the info, and keep me in mind if you run accross anything.
