went to my local brake shop recently, looking to upgrade my brakes obviously and i threw a few options at them about increasing in size by using 4 stud integra rotors and calipers or something similar and they whipped out the dba catalogue
see here http://www.dba.com.au/2006/PDF_CATALOGUE/download_counter.php?file=HONDA_2007&folder=Catalo gue_AUST
they said it would be in my interests to see if rotors with a greater diameter from antoher honda with same other dimensions could fit using the calipers and mounts off the respective car. the cars listed below match (with a .5mm greater offset)
Honda Civic - EE9, EF, EG 1.6i VTEC VTi (11/91 - 95)
.......................- EX with ABS (1993 - 95)
.......................- EX (1996 - 2000)
.......................- Si (1999 - 2000)
.......................- all models (2001 - 2005)
Honda CRX - EE8 VTEC 1.6L (1989 - 92)
......................- EG21 VTi, EH61 ESi 1.6L (1992 - 97)
......................- EG VTec (6/92 - on)
Honda Integra - 1.8L DOHC 16V (1989 - 94)
...........................- 1.8L GSi, VTi - R (1993 - 98)
...........................- Acura Integra, 2.0L GSi (1990 - on)
basically (if this is in any way basic), could i get the rotors and calipers and mounts and what not from the front brakes of one of these model cars that has wrecked and slap them on my ed9 crx.
my plan is, slotted rotors in original size for the rears. slotted rotors to fit one of the above mentioned cars, fitted to the front of my crx using the matching calipers from a wrecker. good brake pads all round and braided lines, a drain and decent brake fluid. just want that bit of extra bite in the front and the surface area of the stock rotors looks a little weak.
does anyone know, or has anyone physically done, a swap of front rotors similar to this that can tell me if they fit or what modification is needed to make them do so. i have 17s so plenty of room to play with, just concerned about the mounting of the calipers off the wrecked car fitting onto mine
