from all my research the 92-95 EX and SI have the same knuckles as the DC integra. I have a CX, which has smaller brakes. so i physically can't put new rotors and brakes on with my knuckles on my CX.

The DC integra knuckles will fit on my 93 CX because I am changing the rotors, brakes, and all. i will need to get an alignment after for the steering, camber, and toe. The wheel will "stick" out a little bit more.

This will be my "big brake" OEM setup.

Do a search on honda-tech

- Mon Aug 19, 2013 5:35 pm #335642 well i had my starter go out recently, it's original and 20 years old.
I changed my starter, changed original fuel pump, and also bled brakes & changed fluid, changed oil, and bled and changed clutch fluid. Bought a new battery too, it was almost 8 yrs old.

getting ready for WangFesthttp://wangfest.blogspot.com/ on labor day in South Haven MI @ Gingerman http://www.gingermanraceway.com/

I bought some HAWK HPS pads Front, and new rotors Front. Also bought some ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid. All I need to do now is change my trans fluid. I wil do this the weekend before. i will also make sure I bed the brake pads in properly.

here are some pics
