- Sat May 15, 2010 8:46 pm #194486 I'm reasonably sure that Honda has never made a 4 piston caliper for any car available to the public. If that's the case, you would want to find either NSX calipers or Acura Vigor calipers. Both are 2 piston.

Why do you want/need 4 piston calipers in the first place? Just upgrade to Integra brake parts and you'll have an EG that will stop on a dime. If you can afford it or find a set, get the 5 lug ITR swap. Bigger rotors, bigger pistons in the calipers, and more pad surface area than the LS/GSR brake setup. You just have to make sure to get the ITR master cylinder if you get the ITR brake setup. It's a 1" MC, versus the 15/16" of the LS/GSR and the 13/16 of the Civic.

IF you can use the ITR calipers on the LS/GSR rotors, you can get away with 15" wheels. The 97-98 ITR had 15" wheels IIRC, but I could be mistaken. Might need 16" wheels.

- Mon May 17, 2010 5:39 pm #194890 You dont need 5 stud hubs to run big brakes. The best bolt on ones you can get are NSX twinpots, thenLegend twinpots - dunno if you get Legends in the states though..? I had them with 4x100 hubs on my old Civic and they're good, but can understand why you'd want more. You could also get Accord Type R front brakes but they'd be hard for you to get a hold of probably and have 300mm discs so need 16's, the ones i mentioned above fit under 15's. If you want 4 pots or more you'd need an aftermarket setup like Spoon, AP Racing etc etc, although dc5 Brembos are 4 pots, just a hasstle to fit ive heard

- Tue May 18, 2010 8:39 pm #195109 Would the ls/gsr rotors and itr calipers fit under 15 inch rim or will the ls/gsr rotors and legend calipers fit under 15 inch rim. Because i can get the ls/gsr rotors and the legends calipers
