Default 2006 V6 sedan has 2 front rotor sizes

I need to replace all 4 corners and pads.
There are 11.1" and 11.8" front rotors. Besides physical measurement, are there any things pointing to one or the other?
Can I install the larger rotor as an upgrade? The pads are the same I believe.

Size matters,the larger one may not let the caliper to be installed.

The larger (11.8") rotor is only on the V6 6 speed Coupe, I believe. If you want to use the larger rotor, you have to get the (longer) V6 6 speed caliper bracket (at least), so it will reach over the larger diameter rotor. I think the calipers are the same, but the pads might be different. Check the part numbers on one of the dealership parts websites.

I don't think the 6speed sedan uses the larger rotors, but I'm not positive on that. Enter your information on a Honda site, like Majestic Honda, and enter your VIN. On aftermarket websites you have to read the fine print, to find out which part fits your car.

Sweet! Thanks dude, Majestic gave the OEM P/N, google lead me to carparts.com which listed it as 11.1"

Now, why would honda install the smaller brake on the BIGGER car? no matter, it WILL ALL br upgraded down the road.
