I am in the process of upgrading the SI brakes. I come to find out that only some SI's have 10.3 brakes and mine is not one of them. I already have the Rotors so I'm just going to upgrade the calipers. My question is will I need to get a different hub, if I just want the SI calipers that came w/ 10.3 rotors? If so any one have the hub I need?
Edit: Figured out the problem. I ordered the wrong part

SI brakes
FYI to anyone who runs into this problem.
The only '92-'95 Civic Si's that had the larger 10.3" brakes were the ones equipped with ABS, which was only available in 1994.
The easiest way to upgrade from 9.5" to 10.3" brakes is to swap the entire knuckle, bearing, hub, caliper and bracket, rotor and pads from a '94-'01 Integra, '92-'00 Civic EX, or any ABS equipped Civic.
It is possible to swap the larger brakes onto the 'DX' knuckles, bearing and hub with some machine work. The DIY is found here.
