Big Brakes for my Baby?

Hey, I've been gone for a while, not that it matters since i have no tech know-how to help anyone anyways. Anywho, I'm putting on my Tokico Illumina's next weeked and hopefully I order my Skunk2 Strut Bars then too. After that all i need to get are my brakes, and then comes the B16A (i was thinking about not gettin it since it seems like everyone with a rex has one, but i cant afford a B18C, and other than that, B16A is the next best). Back to the point, I plan on doin the rear disc swap and also want to do some big brake kits, the problem is, I cant find any for my car. I was just wondering if kits for any other cars would fit mine or if anyone knows where i can get some big-name big-brakes for my 89 CRX Si. Please let me know asap.


PS Also, if any knows anything about EBC's green/red stuff pas and their slotted/dimpled rotors lemme know, cuz if i cant get big brakes, i may just get them.

You can also try this:

PS: If you find out for sure if Integra steering Kunckles will work instead of Civic Ex ones, please let me know.

Didn’t notice the date…. Was doing a search for brake upgrade info.

Let me ask you a question: I’m doing the big brake upgrade shown here: http://hybrid2.honda-perf.org/bigbrakes.html


Except I have a set of 91 Integra LS steering knuckles, instead of 90-91 Civic Ex ones. And I'm using 91 Acura Legend 4 door 3.2 V-6 calipers instead of the Accord station wagon ones mentioned on the above link.

Target car is 90 Civic DX Hatchback…. Lowered about 2 inches… No camber kit currently.


Do you know how much the Integra knuckles change camber /caster /etc?

Does anyone here have a printout of alignment specs before /after such a swap has been done?



PS: Should be a “sticky” /FAQ on brake upgrades… ( OR did I miss it?)
