after searching all over ht, it seems possible that s2k calipers and corrado rotors could bolt on to dx hubs/knuckles with perhaps a little clearance grinding and shim behind caliper piston. my assumption is not based on any fact, so feel free to shoot holes in this idea.
brake expert, can you shed some light on this?

Okay I have one question on this below.
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by BrakeExpert »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">to 02-03 Civic Si
Take the rear spindle (with bearing and hub) from any 88-00 Civic with rear discs, or 94-01 Integra and swap them onto the Civic DX. Use 02-03 Civic Si (EP3) caliper bracket mounts, 02-03 Civic Si EP3 brake pads, and 02-03 Civic Si EP3 rotors. To use RSX or EP3 Calipers on a Civic/Integra with Civic/Integra e-brake cables, use the e-brake attachment lever swapped on from any 7CLP13S caliper body. Use the 99-00 Civic Si e-brake cables.</TD></TR></TABLE>
What trailing arm is used? Can you use the 96-00 Dx trailing arm with the EP3 spindle?

Re: (75911)
This is the new 11.1" S2000 setup for DX knuckles.
This requires modifying the bracket a bit, different centering rings, but uses stock G60 corrado rotors and stock S2000 pads. If anyone is looking to build this setup, PM me, but do NOT ask me for parts on posts for the general forum, I am not a honda-tech sponsor.
No modification to the knuckle is needed but the dust shield may need a bit of bending, but it can be done with just your hands.

The RL calipers I can fit, yes.
The Brembo TL-S calipers do not bolt on and require some machine work, and given how much lighter and better the RL calipers are, [freak] the TL calipers (no offense Migs if your here.)

I have a 99 ek sedan abs now equipped with gsr front and rear disc conversion, i have recently bought a jdm '98 itr wreck, now can i swap the complete front and rear brake assembly including knuckles and rear trailing arms onto the sedan, rather than dismantling the bearings/spindles etc..just want a bolt off/bolt on swap..the car came with no front and rear swaybars, was a factory d13b now b18cr..would i need to change upper and lower control arms on the front?

Quick question, when putting the NSX calipers and 23T brackets on to a 93 integra, how much do I need to mill off?
Is it still 3.2mm that has to be removed?

Re: Brake Upgrades for 96-00 Civics, applicable to some older Civics and Integras
If youre buying SS lines for your car, you should be buying the lines for your car, which is the EK Civic. Yes the DA may be different, but the line is going to bolt to that trailing arm and thread into the CIVIC line on the chassis, which may be further or closer than on the DA chassis.
Just think about it: the DA may have a longer or short line because it depends on where the hard line comes through the body, not the soft hose youre trying to replace. Ther 7CLP14s caliper that the DA have is the same one as the ones used on 90-01 tegs and 88-00 civics with rear discs so the end that bolts to the caliper will be the same, but the other end may be too long or too short if they are different.
You could just verify with someone like russell or other companies that make the lines. Or just get the ones for the 99-00 Si and get it over with
