You can use the EK4 or DC2 vti-r knukkle if your car isnt' a vti-r civic / integra.

You will also have to shave off a bit of your caliper so it doesn't rub your rims and get redrilled rotors to suit. Good thing about this is that you don't have to go out and buy a new set of rims.

Also, Buying the CRV caliper is cheaper than getting the ITR caliper if you go to a wreckers.

How much does the Vti coupe weigh?

EG Vti weighs in at under 1100 which is a "real weight" approximation not Honda's factory weight (ie less petrol, less air-con, less seats, less everything but the shell hahaha).

I have swapped Integra Vti-R brakes onto my EG, no shaving, no need to re-drill rotors...

IMO plenty of stopping power for an EG hatch. Type R brakes are a bit of overkill on such a light car unless you are really looking to run BIG power (ie a b series turbo) AND i would be also concerned about the brake bias... ITR calipers are one of the best in Honda's line-up, if you don't have the front and the rear's then i'd be worried about the car's brake balance on the track.

i assumed we were talking about swapping front and rear not just upgrading fronts?

don't assume anything around here... Actually has anyone on this board done a front and rear ITR swap?? (not a five lug conversion) just redrilling blanks, swapping front caliper AND have they noticed any difference in the way the car is balanced and brakes?? Love to know this.

and it is much cheaper to just upgrade the fronts to the integra Vti-R and maintain the rears... keep the balance of the car and also have excellent stopping power.

What would you prefer
a Civic Coupe VTI-R, and have money left over for mods

or stock ITR DC2.
