I've read a lot on front brake swaps, but my situation is a little different and would appreciate some clarity on a few points.
I have a 1995 Honda Civic EG Hatch, original engine was the 1.3 manual, which I believe in the US its referred to the DX. I have swapped in a H22A8 from a Honda Prelude type-s.
I have just bought some Volks racing Rays TE37, which are 4x100 lug pattern.
My stock knuckles, hubs calipers, discs etc are too small and wont stop the car very well.
I have purchased some front knuckles with hubs from a EK9, which are currently 5 lug.
I want to run larger calipers and discs, but want to retain the 4x100 hubs, so I can keep my wheels.
Can I simply use the EK9 knuckles and swap in my existing 4x100 hubs? are the wheel bearings the same size?
If so, then do I run 282mm discs or the 262mm discs?
Which calipers could I use for this setup? From my understanding, I can run DC2 Calipers if I use 282mm discs or EK VTI MB6 Calipers if I run the 262mm discs?
Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully reply, I appreciate it.
Many thanks.
