SiR front suspension going in, What brake pads fir this in the USA?
Got a Half cut EF SiR , swapping whole thing in including suspension for the bigger brakes., What pads are these? I have 93 integra rear traing arms on the way and am using the Sir Master Cylinder and Booset along with porportioning valve. Search didn't turn anything up this morning. ZC complete package going up for sale soon too. B16A w/Y1 tranny going in 98,000 KM on the whole thing per the instrument cluster.
90-93 integra, 90-91 civic EX, 94+ integra and others... they are the standard 10.3" brake pads used on everything.
Don't swap the lower control arms. You will end up with firment problemc concerning the radius rods. The bolt holes won't line up.
Also don't forget to swap out the steering rods, or you'll end up with one horrable alignment.
Here's my write-up.

If you compare the NISIN code on the Civic EX calipers, they could be similar.

Damn, I just put new tie rods on this thing a month ago. Well the obvious I will be able to see when I get it apart, and thanks for your link. So, tie rods are different lengths, what car has the equivalent if at some point I need new ones? Want to put everything that will work from this on mine. THis is a low milage SiR ,my car has about 150,000 on it. Damn this is not looking to be the shoe in I was hoping for. My custom mounts are on the way. Wiring is no problem for me nor is the mechanical stuff, am doing this all unassisted. Except for some technical suport here. I know the ZC inside and out but know little about the B16A1
Well, Saturday I start. Going to get a cleanup cut on the disks and slap new pads on it, gong to get the Hawks, from what I have heard here those are nice pads. The rest well I hope enough of it fits or can be made to fit easily. Want to make the most out of every part that can be used that wears in any way. Trying to decide in next few hours about a Stock VS lighter Flywheel so I can get clutch ordered. Then to pick up Timing bet seals and such to prep engine for install once I pull it out of the Clip.. And we are having such wonderful weather around here right now too. About 32 degrees F. Perfect working on the car weather.
BUt need to get this in and running because it only has a 30 day warranty and the clock is ticking.

I'm going on vague memory Dave, but don't the 94 and up integras use a similar but different pad than most of the older 10.3" pads? I think that the spring that keeps the pad seated is different. One pad has a notch in the end for the spring that is built in to the caliper bracket. The other does not because there is a spring in the back of the actual caliper to keep it in place.... or something like that. Like I said, vague memory. I ran in to this when I did my front swap because I used 94+ calipers and the pads I bought for the 90-93 calipers that I thought I was going to use didn't sit right.

Well knowing what modle to look for maybe I can compare to stock stuf in store, use that to order the Hawk pads. Rather than having no idea wher to start. Once I get this thing done I plan on getting a set of Falken Azenis Tires, as I know I will need them. But I do plan on using ever piece of that front end that will fit on my DX hatch. and the the 93 Teg rear trailing arms and brakes are a good match I think. SiR materCylinder and booster I hope fits, please don't tell me it doesn't. THese are really are SiR brakes not EX if there really is a difference or not. Guess I take these to store and compare.
I really need an answer to this question as well, a set of instructions would be good, I'm picking up some SiR front brakes for 75 bux and need to know what to do.
