Your answer is here...

Vti eg5 should come with bigger 262mm brakes and hub as per eg6/dc2 of the same vintage instead of 240mm of lesser eg models.
In such case you dont need different hub/knunkles just machine caliper brackets and bolt your kit on. 1" master cylinder+booster from bb4, dc2r would be good too.
OK. one person says No for 262mm brake and one says Yes.?? i just go get a measuring tape and measure after work.lol. i got machined calipers, pads,and slotted rotors ready. 92-96 prelude MC and BB is same as ITR?.Anyone have Dc2 knuckles for sale?
Prelude VTiR or Accord wagon caliper and bracket, and brake lines
Prelude rotor (DBA200) redrilled to 4 x 100
Bendix Ultimate brake pads or similar
You have to grind 2mm off the bracket to clear the inside due to the rotor having a different width on the hub. On an EG apparently these bolt straight on (haven't done it myself - just what I've researched)
Don't be alarmed at this photo - the rotor is not bolted on and there is sufficient gap on the inside once they are.
