90+ Integras have tons of pad choices. 86-9, not so much. Just checking Cobalt's site, they list Hawk HPS's (great street pad, doesn't like heat) for the 1G Integra. For the 90-95 caliper, they list 2 Cobalt pads, 5 compounds from Hawk, and both Axxis lines.

The only advantage to the 91 CRX SI brakes is the amount of aftermarket pad support, if that's important to you.

The 92-5 (and probably 96-00, but I haven't tried it) stuff uses the same pads as 90-91's. I confirmed this by moving the pads from my '93 VX calipers onto my '91 Si hatch .

I knew that. No, really! I meant to put 91+

'93 Civic DX rotors.

Is that a bigger diameter than the '86-89 Inegras?

No. Some people call them 9.5", some claim it's closer to 9.3", but they're all the same.

I'm heading out to the garage in a minute, I'll measure my spare rotors and edit it into this post .

Thanks for letting me know. At some point I'd like to do one of these swaps.

[87crxguy]

what did it cost you to do the whole swap?

[84-1300]

Junkyrard cailpers and brackets ~ $40
Rebuilt calipers ~ $80 ($40 each side)
rotors ~ $40 (20 bucks a side)
Ceramic pads ~ $37

Not to bad compared to a big brakes kit from AEM or fast brakes!!

if you do the teg swap can you just goto the junk yard and get the calipers and rotors off 91 + Civ for all four corners?

[fat_85_civic]

I know this is an old post but are these rotors stock 93 DX rotors? and are they the same as 89-91 civic rotors and calipers?

It's all just bolt on stuff. You need the caliper, caliper bracket, rotors and pads. You can do this with the following:

86-89 Integra (all)
89-91 Civic/CRX (all)
92-95 Civic (all base models/models with 9.3" rotors)

Also what is a caliper bracket? Dosen't the calipers bolt straight to the knuckle?

look carefully at this picture i think that if you have ever pulled calipers, you probably unbolted the bracket and left it attached to the caliper. I was thinking the same thing before i looked at the picture.

i like the drilled rotors from the insight...i heard theyre fairly light for the size and theyre pretty cheap to get ahold of brand new...i think thats what im going to use....can you use them as all 4 rotors or just the front?

I believe the Insight's rotors are exactly the same as the 1G CRX DX/Si and 2G CRX HF. I'm fairly certain that this is how it was listed by an after-market rotor supplier. The Insight does use aluminum calipers, and also uses aluminum drums. If you use the Insight's aluminum calipers (assuming that this can even be done), you may be able to get pads from Porterfield without having to send them a sample, since I believe an Insight owner is already auto-Xing with their R4S pads. Thus they should already have the pattern.
