GSR is slightly bigger. and is a direct bolt on affair. you will however need GSR pads.

and yes they stop better. a bigger master cylinder would help lots.

Not the same, if you use GSR caliper you need GSR pads.

Teg calipers have a 7mm bigger piston (57mm vs 50mm) and bigger pads. They bolt right up to the EX rotor. By the way, all Teg brakes are the same except ITR.

Do you know if they will bolt right onto a stock civic cx spindle? Also are the gsr and ls calipers the same size?
