Default DC2 Brake Differences?

I have some integra knuckles I'm putting on my DX Civic for a brake upgrade, and I was looking at Brembo Blank rotors for them. The problem is the website I was on has the rotors listed under different part numbers for the different years of the DC2 (I think 94-96 and 97-01). I was wondering if anyone was aware of what differences there might be, like maybe offset or something? I always thought all DC Integras had the same brakes with the exception of the R.

Since I don't know exactly what year teggy my knuckles came from. Is there any chance someone might be able to help me figure out how to identify the parts I already have?

Hey, all I know is that honda brakes work great. My DC2 is insane stock. Honda uses the same caliper and rotor design on numeruos cars, as my family has owned many hondas.
I compare the stock brakes to factory Brembos on other cars, such as STI, no offense Sube. I think I'd go just with brake lines, fluid, pads, and new non rusted rotors. No need for expensive kits.

Damn, forgive my ignorance. I was up way too late. For some reason I was thinking the subtle differences in DC Integras meant they had different chassis codes. Like EJ1 and EJ2. I guess all of them in the states are DC2. I better change the title and first post.

Anyways, the problem still remains. I can't tell whether my knuckles/brake assembly is from an early or late model DC.

3rd gen Integra chassis codes:
94-01 Coupe RS/LS/SE/GS - DC4
94-01 Coupe GSR - DC2
94-01 Sedan RS/LS/GS - DB7
94-01 Sedan GSR - DB8
94-01 Integra Type R Coupe - DC2

DC2 is a vtec equipped, 2 door, 3rd gen Integra.

To my knowledge, all non-ITR 3rd gen Integras use the same brakes. If its from a 94-01 Integra, and not a Type-R, it will fit. The lines are different between ABS and non-ABS cars, but the actual brakes are the same.

I guess I was wrong again about the chassis code designations. Oh well. I still don't know why this website has different part numbers for 94-96 teggy front rotors and 97-01 rotors. What the hell is the difference? I thought they were all the same with the exception of the type r.

I guess it would help if I posted the link... http://www.importrp.com/home.php?cat=38

I was looking at the Brembo blanks. Oddly enough the other brands seem to cover DA and DC 90-01. Do you think maybe they just have them listed wrong?

Probably just listed wrong.

I've been at Autozone and been told "We don't have rotors for a 2000 GSR in stock. Too bad you don't have a non-vtec, I have those." I bought them anyway. Same stuff.

I wouldn't bother with Brembos. Not worth the price increase over Autozone Duralast blanks. I think they're $20 or $25 now, I paid $16 each for the last set I purchased. Personal preference anyway, but mine have held up fine for street, auto-x, and track use.

All Integra's from 1990-01 (excluding the Type-R) use the same exact rotors. The calipers however are different on the front from 90-93 compared to 94-01. The importrp.com listing is correct, I work there

I've heard equally mixed things about duralast and brembo blank rotors. I think I'll just go cheap and get the duralasts golds, they look decent. They have the anti-corrosion coating and I can pick them up locally... always convenient. I'll just get some ebc pads or something.
