As long as you use T25 sliderbrackets (EDM ITR DC2 I believe), this is a bolt on upgrade.
Mine are from a JDM car, so the brackets had to be milled down a few millimeters to fit, but it works great.

Discs and calipers are buttfuck heavy though, coming in at 10kg per side easily... thinking about upgrading to Spoon calipers somewhere in the near future.

BTW, this setup fits in my Speedline Safari's (15x7 +40 or +42) and stock Civic EP 15x6 +45 steelies.
But it looks better caged behind my 16x7 +42 Works :angel:

- Sat Jul 05, 2008 8:04 pm #60888 do the calipers need to be specifically ITR or can they be GSR?

- Mon Jul 07, 2008 1:55 pm #61105 I've found this to be the most comprehensive postings on Honda brakes. The user who did the research is the one who sold me my S2000 (11.8" or 300mm) calipers that will go on my EG project car. The chart also helped me to figure out what is need to put 4x100 EP3 rear brakes (10.3" or 262mm) on the car as well.

The calipers get bigger but the S2000 ones will fit under some 15" wheels which was a requirement of mine. The Legend 2 piston one are much heavier for a minimal increase in performance. And the larger and harder to find TL, RL, and NSX brakes need at least 17" wheels and require more extensive modifications to install.

- Mon Jul 07, 2008 3:40 pm #61108 NSX brakes will fit under 15's ^^ they're the exact same size as Legend ones, just alot lighter. You're right about Legned calipers being heavy though, i couldnt believe how heavy mine were when i got them :o

They will? That's good to know in case I ever come across a set. Something that I don't think will happen very often. I wish that Honda made nicer OEM calipers. I know Mitsu/Subaru/Mazda get calipers from Brembo/Endless. But it would be nice to have the option to get nice anodized calipers that say Honda just like the RL ones that say Acura.
