I'm updating the brakes on my 90 DX. The rears are no problem; I have
the rear suspension/disk brakes from a 92 Integra, including the brake
booster, master cylinder and proportioning valve.

I'm getting two stories for the 10.2" fronts, however. Everyone agrees
that the disks and calipers from a 90-93 Integra are the right ones,
but some people say to swap the entire Integra front hub assembly to
get the big brakes, while others say that these mess up the Civic
alignment, and that you should use 90-91 Civic EX sedan hubs.

Of course, some people say that all 90-91 Civic hubs are the same,
regardless of model. Plus I have been watching eBay for weeks, and
have never seen the hubs detailed being sold (but LOTS of 90-93 Integra
hubs for Civic upgrades).

Does anyone know if there really is a specific 90-91 Civic EX sedan hub
that is preferable for this swap, or should I just go ahead and use the
Integra hub? The car is lowered 1.25" via a complete Tokico HP shock
and spring package, if it matters.

The teg fronts will fit, but TOTALLY ruin the camber. Sometimes even
adjusted can't get it close.

The knuckles assembly's you need are the 90-91 EX Sedan.

The easier route, convert the current 9.3" brakes to 10-11" via a
Fastbrakes kit.

Thanks for the info; if only I could find some of those hubs!

I've already contacted fastbrakes about their products; thanks for the
info!
