Try asking for GSi pads. I found Bendix, EBC amung other companies think for some inane reason the VTi-R differs from the GSi in terms of brake pad size.

When I order my EBC Green Stuff pads I simply asked for GSi pads...everything is a-ok

my car is jdm dc2r 96-spec (262mm),

do i need to machined 2.7mm off the caliper as well OR just bolt-on ?

how about if I add an 3mm inner spacer instante of harming the braket ? (like what Spoon twin block caliper did)

The new calipers will just bolt on. No need to machine

to do this upgrade from a gli setup (240mm) all you need is integra hubs right?

[qoute]For 25T bracket. The caliper bracket needs to be milled ie machined 2.7mm off where it bolts onto the knuckle.[qoute]

what happen if I milled 3.0mm? will it be over milled? (coz regarding to my research, some people will recomend for 3.0mm)

the caliper is ITR caliper.

p/s: my car is dc2 vtir.

im doing this conversion atm and everywhere i have searched it recommends 3.0mm or 3.2mm, but this is for an ek civic > dc2r brakes. im not sure if its different to eg and dc2.
