Default Can AEM Big Brake Rotors fit my car?

Hi i'm thinking to upgrade my brake rotors and i'm wondering will the AEM Big Brake Rotors will fit DX or HX? I think the rotors are for EX but i think they should be the same?

THank you

I have a hx and it has the same brakes as the dx and lx. I have some brembo rotors on mine and they have a different part # for a ex. I think the ex's have abs up front.

ABS won't do much on upgrading rotors right?

Why do you need larger rotors?

For show and better stopping power after boost.
And i have to replace my front rotors anyway.
Will go for bigger calipers later on when i save up money.


So anyone know what they fit?

Brakes are a friction system. A larger rotor will not add any more friction. The best way to add more friction (stopping power) is to upgrade your pads.
