unless you have a Standard (STD) hatchback, then they wouldn't have to change the spindles for the axles to fit. B series axles will fit directly into Si/DX/LX/EX spindles with no problems, only a small ring on the inside of the hub, commonly called a dust seal, needs to be removed to prevent binding of the axle.

If they did however, change your spindles to integra ones, you will have much larger brakes than came on the car stock. Measure your rotors and come back with the results..
