Junkyard Diving
I'm living out in montana and there is a serious lack of hondas in the junkyards out here. I have an HF crx with a JDM d15b swapped into it. It needs axles now but I would rather swap spindles and start using the bigger Si axles/ Ex brakes and I have heard that you can use Ex hubs/spindle and brakes...whatnot. There is no ex out here in any junkyard and my question is whether or not LX and lower model 92-95s have the same spline count on the axle. I know there are complete EX hubs on ebay for pretty cheap but I am hoping to get the ---- for even cheaper at a junkyard. I also don't want to wait for the shipping because I am about to ---- axle all over the road.

yea the 4dr ex are beafier axels thats what i have on my 4dr if you can find those or a set of da integra hubs you'll be set and while your at it pull the integra rear arms so you can have them rear discs just make sure to grab the prop valve and the ebrake lines if there in good shape to save even more money

Braking is a huge improvement but youll want the bigger DA brake booster and master cylinder otherwise the pedal will probably go to the floor.
The DA knuckles will throw your alignment off, they are just a bit taller. If you have a camber correction kit, you can dial it back in.
Otherwise, get any 88-81 dx/si hub and go to www.fastbrakes.com. They make caliper brackets that let you run the larger caliper on the smaller spindle.
Good luck

Found an old 4 door Im gonna grab the knuckles and axle assy. and just get new rotors and pads for her. If I come on EX knuckles I will be able to keep the axles and swap em out. I am just worried the axles exploding around the next corner. Junkards suck out here.
