Default want to see if this is ok

i want to put 97 ex rotors on my 94 dx. they are bigger rotors, so would i just have to get the caliper bracket from the EX and put it on the DX to relocate the caliper to make room for the larger rotor? and would this be a straight-forward swap without any difficulty? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I would assume if the rotor thickness is the same, then all you would need is the caliper brackets.

sh!t i just tried it....no luck, i need the whole spindel from the ex to make it work. the bracket for the caliper didnt fit flush with the bolt holes so i just grinded the bracket a bit to make it sit flush. then with the rotor on, the bracket wouldnt slide over because of the thickness of the disk. the things i need are the bracket, caliper, rotor and spindel from the EX, but the question is, would the spindel from a 97 ex bolt onto the 94 dx???

to bad I didn't get to this earlier, i was gonna say you need the whole setup. luckily, its pretty cheap.

I dunno if i would trust impromptu custom ground brake work :eh:

get integra rear disks too I have them, i love my brakes.

You need the knuckles with the rotors and calipers (just leave it bolted together), and you may need the brake lines too. The '97 stuff should fit fine
