Default Brake Swap Question True Or False????

Ok, I have 1997 civic DX hubs,calipers,knuckels,calipers.. Front Brakes..

Now I have been told 2 times from 2 different ppl from the shop thats going to order the **** that i can move up to a gsr rotor-capiler's and they will bolt on the these hubs?? Is this right?? sounds fishy...

im not sure about the knuckles, but calipers and rotor work with a DX hub. as any other honda 4x100 hub.

I have the complete 97 civic dx front brake assemblies. I want to...

Install gsr rotors and calipers on the civic hubs. I know the rotor will go on, but will the gsr caliper bolt up to the bolt holes for the civic dx calipers??? thats the question?????

I used to have the same setup. I have a 97 civic LX but it shares the same front brake setup as the DX. I bought 98 civic EX calipers with brakets and tried to bolt them on and they didnt fit. I was young and stupid, and a few ppl told me it would just bolt right on. But ya if EX calipers dont fit, then GSR ones definetly arent because integra calipers are bigger. Why dont u look for and entire front knuckle from a GSR? Its an easy swap, and it will probably cost less than what that shop is charging u. I found a 99 GSR brake system for only 300. I bought it off some idiot show car freak that converted his integra to 5 lug, so he let me have his old setup for cheap. Its all about the 4 disc now dude! good luck with ur search, peace

its true.. the caliper support on civics is different than the one on integras... the easiest way to do it is to change the whole knuckle.. thats what im doing i also bought the integra suspension setup all around and it bolts right up.. hope that helps..
