Default Integra front brakes on a 88 crx..

Can anyone tell me the proper way to install integra front brakes and what strut arm are you supouse to use? The A arm which I think is what its called rubs on the axles a little bit but enough to drive you crazy. Its a 88 crx with a b16.

to do it right you will need 90-91 4 door EX Hubs

you can use your lower control arm and upper A arm

just swap the hub with the 4 door EX one

MUST BE 4 DOOR EX!!!

you can however use 90-93 hubs but it will cause a slight camber issue

hmm... you guys dont think that motor mounts have anything to do with it. Since mine are shot pretty much do you think that the movement going on from the motor jerking around can cause this, I was also thinking of maybe adjusting the caster? Maybe that would cure the problem, its only like about 2in. and the axles would clear fine. iam not sure how to tell though which axles iam using. Any ideas?

About the camber issue on 90-93 teg brakes. Has anyone actually done this and seen the negative effects? I've always heard about the bad camber issu but one of my frineds has them and never had to get an alignment and his camber/toe/caster looks perfect. Car is lowered too. Just curious because I have a teg parts car and want to put the front brakes on my crx too.

I have a set of 90-93 Integra Front brakes in my 93 Civic Coupe...Swapped the whole spindle, hub, brake caliper, and disk and I can't get camber higher than 2.5 or so degrees negative...I'm gonna swap back on my stock DX brakes and look into a better way of upgrading the front brakes in my civic...

I must say though, with these brakes on and everything else stock, the car stops on a dime...

yea they work very well, And having the full front to back gsr brakes is great. Stops alot better then the crx stocks.
