DC - EF brake swap
 
I am wondering if you can bolt the dc integra rotors, caliper & caliper mounting brakets to an ef front knuckle.. Im also doing the rear disk swap & im swaping the master cylinder, & proportuning valve to do the rear disk swap the correct way.
Im keeping my D motor but I wanna get the aftermarket stock "big brake kit" thats why I needa know if the front brakes will bolt to an ef front knuckle.

Re: DC - EF brake swap
 
no, you cannot bolt up the 94-01 integra LS/RS/GS/GSR front caliper & rotors

onto your 88-91 civic EF front knuckle

(unless it is a 90-91 civic EX front knuckle; which accepts 10.3" front rotors, same size as found on any 90-01 integra * excluding ITR)

> if you do not have the 90-91 civic EX front knuckles

then you have 88-91 EF DX knuckles, which use 9.4" front rotors.

here's a few options for upgrades on DX knuckles:

1. www.fastbrakes.com sells a bracket which mounts the DC integra front calipers onto a DX knuckle with a larger rotor set-up.

honda-tech member BE2 specializes in OEM honda brake upgrades kits.

2. here's a link for: s2000 front calipers, which use 11" rotors on a DX knuckle

3. Acura CL brake upgrade for 9.5" Civic Brakes > 11" rotor

92-95 civic EX (or 94-01 integra LS/RS/GS/GSR)

front knuckles are better suited for EG civics

for the best alignment results on any 88-91 civic/CRX EF,

use 90-91 civic EX or 90-93 integra DA front knuckles (complete with calipers)

Bleed the brakes Right Rear, Left Front, Left Rear, Right Front. You do not go farthest to closest with Hondas.

Always bench bleed the Master cylinder when replacing the master cylinder, ABS unit, or proportioning valve.
