Looks like you forgot to grind the mounting brackets.

They will fit on there, the rotor won't turn.
Hard to tell with the paint I guess, and because I'm not sure which side of the bracket I'm looking at with it all disassembled, its been almost a year since I did it, so the details of what I did are getting fuzzy. I do remember that you'll end up cutting the backing plates off. The rotors are a bit more offset than the stock ones, and they'll rub the backing plate behind the hub, its so close to where its bolted into the spindle I never could get it to bend back and stay, so I just hacked it off. | Quote, originally posted by K20me » | | boilermaker1 was the first one to do this, if I remeber correctly.

Whether or not thats true, I'm not sure, but I did it last fall.... its a fantastic cheap upgrade.

by redrilled you mean, drill for 4x100? from 4x114.3? edit: nm, i saw telly's post on 7thgencivic. for future reference, you need a 93ish (4x114.3) rotor and redrill it for 4x100.

You should be able to use any 4x114.3 rotor of similar size to that of the 11.2in Accord one's used here.

yes, you essentially make a universal 4 lug rotor. You can commercially buy them, I wouldn't recommend making them yourself without the proper machine tools to get them centered right.
4th gen prelude rotors, accord V6 rotors or DC2R rotors will all work with the single pot calipers. if you go for the 2 piston (NSX or legend) setup, you need the heavy duty rotors (from a Legend, they're thicker).
