going to get some 16" rims for my 2000 cx and i wanted to know what size rotors can i fit under there and which company to go with?

brembo or powerslot...

they say 11" need 15" or bigger rims... so I wouldn't push it with an 11.5, i'd stay at 11"

so you mena on stock calipers? what about aftermarket calipers?

then what about other oem calipers off of other civic si's or gsr's or even type r's?

not quite sure...

but why get aftermarket calipers? if it's power-related, im sure they're not necessary unless you plan on drifting. a set of high powered aftermarket pads, slotted rotors, and stainless steel brake lines should do the trick quite well.. you could even go as far as messing with you brake booster, master cylinder, and prop valve, but i think you'll find that overkill...

if it's look-related... just paint your calipers...

but yea, not quite sure...

not lloks related at all just wondering if gsr's would give me a harder bite and by how much? dont quite know why ppl spend the money on jdm suspension parts? i cant see the reason behind spending 1-2 grand on a full itr or a ctr suspension when your going to upgrade your stock stuff anyways. can someone please explain. anyways would it be worth my while to get gsr brakes or si brakes or just stick with my stock cx stuff but upgrade?

Just because you increased your rim size, doesnt mean you have to increase your brake sizes. I only see it fit if performance is increases, ie motor swap, then brakes should be increases. Just because you increase your rims doesnt mean you have to increase your rotor size.

For money sake, stick with your stock brakes. No need for bigger ones in this case.

But to answer the question, gsr brakes should suit you fine, 10.2 fronts and 9.3 rears. gsr calipers also.

stock civic cx brakes are horrible. I'm not suprised he wants to upgrade.

RC211V

yeah i know im not doing it for looks or anything. i just wanted better brakes and didnt want to spend thousands doing it. i dont know you can never have too much brakes. and when the time comes for you to use them you'll be glad you have them.

I just did my brakes. Granted its an si's but for a stock car, stock brakes are fine. I did front and rear aftermarket rotors stock size for stock price. All 4 calipers and All 8 pads. All stock. If the cx's rakes suck, try going with the SI's brakes. They work great for my 92.

What components are on the 94+ LS brakes that are different on the GSR's?

From what I hear they're exactly the same???
