Default brake caliper swap

hi everybody, i'm not sure if this goes here but i was wondering if i can swap my 94 civic lx non abs calipers with an abs caliper from an ex. the reason is because i have a set of after market rotors and my calipers wont fit. apperently the rotors were made for civics and tegs w/ abs. anyways would if i were to make the swap, would it affect the new calipers if i dont have the abs, or can i use them either way, or is my best bet getting rotors that actually fit?

your rotors are smaller. thats the problem, not the ABS.

The bigger calipers should fit and solve the problem though... no? You may need the whole hub setup to get it fit right.

yeah, ive never tried just swapping the calipers and rotors, but i dont think it would work, youll need the whole knuckles. still an easy swap though.
