EG/EK/DC brake disc compatibility
I'm about to replace my rotors on my 95 del sol S. I have GSR brakes on the rear and the stock del sol S components in the front. For what car should I get rotors for? I've heard the DC's and the EG/EK have the same rotor up front (but the DC's have larger calipers), so can I just get a complete set of rotors for a GSR and expect everything to bolt up? (Otherwise I'll just get half and half to be sure everything will work)
Also, any recommendations for a good aftermarket disc for hard driving/autoXing?

the del sol s uses a 9.5"/19mm front rotor, which is aka the DX knuckle (found in 88-00 civic dx). the rear disc, replacement parts such as pads & rotors can be sourced from any 90-01 integra.

the 94-00 integra caliper, stamped 17CL14VN uses a 10.3" rotor & a bigger pad. the 17CL14VN caliper will not bolt-on to your DX knuckle. this caliper will bolt-on to 94-00 teg knuckles, 90-91 civic ex knuckles, & 99-00 si knuckles or del sol w/ b16 (which run 10.3" rotors as well). you can swap knuckles to use the bigger 17CL14VN calipers

pads, blank rotors & brake fluid...ss lines
**my .02, if the DX calipers fade on you, try the itr calipers on dx knuckles w/ 10.3" rotors set-up (you'll need to upgrade to a 1" or 15/16" m/c). the itr calipers are stamped 17CL15VN, and can be sourced in junkyards (the itr uses a bigger pad than the integra). once you obtain the calipers, you'll need to seperate the bracket (which is stamped 23T or 25T) from the caliper. the bracket will need to be sent to the machine shop where they'll mill aprrox 2-3 mm (or1/8") off the bracket (where the bracket mates with the knuckle) in order to clear the rotor. the 10.3" front rotors can be found fairly cheaply & easily (90-01 integra, 90-91 civic ex, 99-00 si, 94-97 del sol vtec). the machine 23T (or 25T) bracket will aloow you to use the integra type-r 17cl15vn, legend gs 2-pot & nsx calipers as well

Re: EG/EK/DC brake disc compatibility (roastbeefrichie)
if you're upgrading to bigger brakes, you're going to need a bigger master cylinder, which pushes more fluid to the bigger piston...https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=364783
