    Default crx brake upgrade question

    I need to know if a brake setup from an integra will fit a crx directly or not. Does anyone with a crx know this for sure? Thanks in advance

    1st try to bleed the brakes properly, then if that doesn't work get another master cylinder (91 Civic EX is best). Check for leaks too.

    If you want to swap brake components: for the rear keep EF control arm, trailing arm is same on DA/DC and find rear discs from a DA. For the front use DA front knuckles and brakes, & since your CRX is not an Si I believe the axles won't go into the DA knuckles either (not 100% sure about that).

    It will fit if your using 90-93 integra. The front tires will stick out if you use the front hub. For the rear make sure you get the e brake cable, and brake line other than that it bolts up. Change out your master cylinder from 90-91 honda civic ex model.

    Woah there thats not good information lol. If his CRX is a Si or DX, he can use the full DA front knuckles no prob (just get an alignment). I recommend to swap the rear disc onto his stock trailing arms, DA trailing arms cause the rear wheels to move outward approx 1/2". Ive done several of these conversions!

    You are claiming that the front tires will stick out with DA hubs. That's simply not true. The DA rear trailing arms most certainly DO change the rear wheel geometry. If you'd like to compare experience and credentials, that's fine too. Ive got more than my reputation on here. I have personally had to roll fenders after installing rear DA trailing arms and also have alignment measurements from a Laser Hunter alignment rack that indicate they changed the width of the rear wheel base.

    Da knuckles/hubs dont change the wheel positions though aside from a slight caster/camber change. they dont really affect the width of the front wheelbase.

    But why if you know that DA brakes will bolt-up just fine, it's been tried many times.
