so i bought some ceramic brakes and slotted drilled rotors and they ended up being for a civic EX Mine is an LX. So obviously the rotors bolt right up but are too big for the calipers and bracket. So question... if i can find calipers on a 92 civic ex will they hook right up to my 92 lx setup? And will this solve my problem? Also what are some other options?? Thanks guys this will really help!

are the rotors too large in diameter or too thick?

So it's got to be the caliper or the knuckle itself that is different.
Or both...
