you will need

front and rear brake lines (they are longer and the disc brakes are different than drums for the rear)

Ebrake cables from an EX sedan i have integra ebrake cables and tehy are a little long

front knucles (rotor, caliper, spindle)

rear trailing arms(rotor caliper and spindles)

and 14" steelies or something that will fit over the brakes.

as far as swapping into teg brakes i wouldnt waste the time.

they say SI's are smaller then integra's well i have owned an Si i owned an Integra and i have own an LX-ABS(4W discs) the Si's have 10.3 rotors just like the stock integra's and LX with ABS.

and the calipers are the same amongst the Si's tegs and LX ABS.

as far as front Knucles go if you have DX they mount differently from Si/EX.

- Fri Sep 17, 2010 8:52 pm #214194 Ive had two 93 Si's and they have had the smaller rotor size.

The reason you have to get the Knuckle for the swap is because the rotor size is bigger therefor moving the mounting area for the calipur further out. You also get a bigger calipur when doing the swap. I have now done it on both cars I have. It helps when you have the rest of the stuff to support it.
