      I have a 94 pro dx with a SOHC and a 91 LX DOHC and the disc on the front are bigger by about an inch....

      my DX has 13 inch steelies and the LX has 14inch alloys

          are the calipers the same? or are the roters and calipers both different?

            both are different. the 13" steelies will not fit on an LX.

              13 22v is the part number you're probably interested in on your front calipers.. if you have a dx, 14 22v for the lx front calipers

                Phrased a bit more clearly: :p:
                DX: 13 22v
                LX: 14 22v

                  i know for sure u can use the lx caliper on a dx or 323 w/ a stock rotor. But if u want to use the lx rotor u'll have to replace the hub assembly.

                  here's a question for u guys about front brakes...
                  Do i need to replace the 323 front struts to LX when i convert my rotors to LX? or i can just use the stock ones...

                    I will let you guys know soon for sure if you need to replace the hub. I will be doing this on my protege and later on, on my 323.

                        the 13s do not fit the LX because of the calipers, not the rotors. The calipers are different.
