- Thu Apr 18, 2013 1:40 pm #330698 Ok guys do you have to swap out for the ex/si knuckles to run integra brakes on front or will they fit on the stock dx knuckles? I decided that the 17 pound nsx calipers wouldnt be worth it in long run because Im already planning on a weight reduction but yet at the same time I am goin to be stiffening the subframe and floor boards and putting in a cage. But I still wanna be able to stop well since I am also swapping the d15b7 out for a b18c.

i have seen this trend with a lot of manufacturers Supra's are same as LS400 but the LS400 are aluminum also..


if you want to stay single piston caliper use 1st gen? odyssey or prelude. they are the as the ITR. and you would still use the 23T bracket iirc.

Yes you have to swap out the knuckles to either 92-95 civic ex/si or any 94-01 integra. They are exactly the same.

I'm thinking just upgrade to the abs front knuckles off 92-95 ex/si cuz they are bigger than the ex without abs and do the rear disc conversion and run ep3 brakes out back and upgrade my mc and prop valve. I'll be running 17" Konig feathers with Nitto Neo Gen tires.
