Default 2002 Honda CRV RT-AWD Front Brake Upgrade RSX Type S

I am wondering if there is anyone else out there that has upgraded their brakes to a bigger rotor or bigger caliper? I have a set of RSX Type S calipers laying around and I was wondering if this is possible? I am 90% sure that this will work. I just don't want to spend the money if someone else has ran into an issue doing this swap.

I am thinking the parts I need are.
RSX Type S Calipers
RSX Type S Caliper Brackets
RSX Type S Rotor & Pads
16" inch rims or larger

Do you think I am missing anything?

OEM
2002-2004 Came with 11.1 Inch rotors
2005-2006 Came with 11.8 Inch rotors

Thats another reason why 2005-2006 came with 16" rims due to the bigger front rotor.

All you need is the rsx-s/05-06 crv caliper bracket and rotor to convert from 11.1" to 11.8". The crv calipers are the same from 02-06 are the same, only the bracket is different. The rsx caliper uses the same size piston as the crv.
