Default teg front brakes, is it worth it?

i got a 92 eg dx and i am doing the rear disc brake conversion. And i was wondering if it is worth putting gsr front brakes on too. How much bigger are they and does any other disc brake setup work besides the gsr. I am already planning on putting a bigger MC on too.

92-95 EX fronts will work. If you get the ones that had Abs or rear disc brake options, those front rotors are larger than the dx, and lx.

there are a ton of options, read brakeexpert's thread on HT.

you can swap on milled ITR's onto the dx knuckle. i run them on a 10.5" disk up front and they are MASSIVE calipers. bigger than all other integra's. paired those up with gsr rear disks and a 1" gsr mc and booster and the setup is FANTASTIC. i love it. feel much more safe too

if I didn't hate 17's so much, I was gonna do the RL front brake swap on the EK. I have a couple sets of 07 RL calipers laying around at work and rotors. Was gonna buy brake experts caliper adapters and have him re-drill the rotors h:

The Hype R are also the same knuckle and caliper as 98 CRV's

mo specific. Are you looking for the Brembo TL-S/six speed front brakes or just the regular TL calipers and rotors?
