You really shouldn't use rotors from a junkyard.

why not...

as long as they're in spec and you plan on cutting them it shouldn't matter at all.

1993-1995 Prelude VTEC.

Haven them redrilled for 4x100 and then buy Accord Wagon calipers - exact same part number as ITR ones.

"Ghetto" Type R brakes without the extra lugs.

Don't you need a caliper re-location bracket for that too...

And it's only one year accord wagon isn't it... I can't remeber exactly but I seem to remember it being a narrow year range.

I'm fully aware of the fact that you can have them "cut." But why? You don't know what you're getting...there could very well be stress cracks that aren't so visible to the eye.

Mike-who wouldn't use junkyard calipers without a rebuild, either.

Accord wagons from either the 4th or 5th generations have the same brake components.
