I am thinking about getting this:

But will it fit my DX?
Does it have Calipers?

It does have calipers....but again, you can have rear disk brakes for $200 or you can have them for a 1000+ ...

Hmm, I'd try the integras first with some good pads, and SS braided lines. If that's not enough for you, either upgrade the rotors and try that, or sell the teggys and get a big brake kit.

Get the brakes off of the Teggy. Good pads and good rotors will be plenty to stop your car.

Get the rear control arms, caliper, rotors, and E-Brake cables.

Not to hijack your thread, but I found a junked 93 integra RS and the guy is going to sell me the rear setup, and front setup with sways for $400.00. All I have to do is give some sweat equity with a wrench.
What else do I need off of the front end?
Front lower arms, calipers, rotors, and front knuckle right? Anything else?
