Since most Rota's have a multi 4 lug bolt pattern they will fit the GSR and Civic. I think you mean ROTORS!

Did someone say, ROTAS?



Oh and yes the GS-R brakes fit the 1992-1995 Civic. That's GS-R front brakes beind my ROTAS.



I'll hit you with a brakes swap link in a few minutes...

Okay, for 1992-1995 Civics let me say this:
1992-1993 Civics ALL have smaller rotors thatn the Integra - even the Si hatch and EX coupes in 1993.

1994-1995 EX and Si have same size rotors, but like DragII said the calipers eem to be smaller on the Civics.

With that said, here is what MOST people do to upgrade their brakes to Integra specs - all of the following are not ABSOLUTES, but they make it much easier:

Get the entire front spindles from any 1994-2001 Integra. This should include the spindles, calipers, hangers, rotors, lines, and dust shields.

Simply unbolt the upper and lower balljoints, and the ball joint that connects to the outer tie rod ends, disconnect the lines and swap the spindles. Would be a good idea to have badly rusted rotors turned or replaced, and throw in new brake pads too if possible.

For the rears, try to get the entire rear trailing arms assemblies with the parking brake cables too. Then just swap the entire traling arms and you're pretty much done.

Now, for the optional **** that WILL make a difference in braking and mostly pedal feel:

1994-2001 GS-R, LS, RS, any Integra brake booster. This bolts into any 1992-1995 with ease. BOLTS right in.

***IMPORTANT***

You MUST have an Integra booster in order to run an Integra master cylinder! Although the lines fit perfectly on the Intgegra RS mastercylinder, no Integra master cylinder will bolt up to the CIVIC brake booster. Get the Integra booster and you will have to run an Integra master cylinder too.

Integra RS master cylinder. The base model RS Integra had NO ABS so the lines match up PERFECT with any non-abs Civic - which most of you have. I have done this in my own car and it truly bolts in.

The Integra master cylinder is a 15/16th whgile the Civic non-abs uses a smaller 13/16th master cylinder.

Also instead of the RS booster/master cylinder combo you could just run a 1991 Civic EX 4-door master cylinder and it bolts right up to your stock Civic booster. It is also a 15/16ths m/c and requires no line bending or reflaring because it is also non-ABS. This is a very easy upgrade, and also you don't have to try to find an RS booster which might be really hard to find.

Finally, add the GS-R, LS, RS, etc. proportion valve and you will have completed the package. 1992-1993 Civics will require you to change JUST the bracket over - use the Teg prop valve with the Civic bracket. 1994-1995 Civics can use the Integra bracket.

1-800-962-8922 is the number to Import Auto Salvage. They sell the most complete brake swaps I've see yet. Call and ask for Larry Jr. or Randy Joeb - tell them TOM from Georgia sent you.

Just wondering on a 99Civic Four door, would I be able to as well "bolt on" the entire front spindles from any 1994-2001 Integra. This should include the spindles, calipers, hangers, rotors, lines, and dust shields.

As well my car is a canadian 99 EX 4-door and has ABS, would I run into any problems??

Thanks everyone

I had rotas on the front AND the rear on my GSR. My friends say that I'm a pimp.
