Default help!!!!!!! is this ok

alright so here it goes. when i was working on my 95 civic ex coupe i noticed that one of the wheen bearings and hub was bad along with the calipers, rotors, and pads. so instead of buying all that i just went ahead and took the entire wheel assembly off of a 94 lx 4 door and put it on both sides. so now the brakes are smaller since there from a lx not an ex. is this that bad, and how much does it really affect performance, the two cars only weight a little different. responses needed asap because now i am either going to replace the wheel bearings in the ex assembly and then buy ex calipers, rotors, and pads, or just go with new lx calipers, rotors, and pads. OPINIONS PLEASE

I could be wrong, but I believe all the front end parts are interchangeable on 95 civics.

i know when i go on autozone it says that they are the same exact brakes all aroung, but my lx ones are def smaller than the ex ones. but they are interchangable, because they are on there now, i just want to know if slightly smaller rotors will make much of a difference, for all i know the ex could have had aftermarket brakes i wonder lol.

i'm pretty sure that EX has ABS (anti-lock braking system), and i'm positive that the LX doesn't. I'm pretty sure that the parts off the LX will cause the ABS to not work on the EX.

well if you need the car moving now and got the parts go ahead and swap and save $ for replacing the EX parts.
larger brakes are always BETTER! just more stoping power so its safer. ya never know when youll have to do a panic stop!
