Default Brake Difference ??

I have searched every way i can imagine, and cant find the answers to my questions!


1. What is the difference in front brakes between a 95 EX and a 99 SI? (i know rotors are the same)

2. What is the difference in rear brakes between a 99 SI and a DC (gsr or ls) (i know rotors are the same)

they're also known as "the non-DX knuckle"
(the DX knuckle found on 88-00 civic, uses smaller caliper w/ 9.5" front rotor)

...the 95 civic EX & 99 civic Si fall into the category of bigger knuckles/spindles:

90-00 civic EX
90-01 integra
del sol B16
99-00 civic Si

the front calipers are compatible & will swap back-and-forth
all use the same sized 10.3" front rotors




2. What is the difference in rear brakes between a 99 SI and a DC (gsr or ls) (i know rotors are the same)

any 88-00 civic/crx/del sol with rear disc

or

90-01 integra LS/RS/GS/SE/GSR (excluding ITR)

uses a rear caliper stamped 7CLP13S


they share the same sized pads & 9.4" rear rotors

the part #'s might be different but will interchange

(trailing arms, calipers, brake hoses, pads & rotors)


* the rear LCA's do not mix...

EF EG DC (including ITR) rear LCA work together,

DA & EK must use rear LCA's within their gen

Sorry to revive an old post, but I had a further question. I have a 94 Del Sol S with the 9.5" front rotors. From what I am reading I should be able to buy the larger 10.3" front rotors and a set of calipers/pads from a car with the larger rotor stock and call it a day. Is this correct? Or are there other parts that would be needed to upgrade the front brakes to this larger rotor?

*Edit: I am already planning to swap the proportioning valve/cylinder as part of the rear drum to disc conversion.

Thanks.
