GSR brake swap- into eg hatch

GSR brake swap- into eg hatch
i was wondering- what size rotors does a GSR have up front? I am doing a rear disc swap in my 94 hatch, and was wondering if i should swap out the fronts as well? is it really that much more stopping power? Any difference in Calipers?

i think that the front GSR are 10.1 where your hatch is 9 some thing. if you are going to do a break swap then you might as well do the whole 9. front and rear brakes, booster, master cylinder, and proproation valve. just my .02 cents.

i noticed a difference in mine when i upgraded the front. but i also upgraded the rotors to. so not sure if it was the upgrade in itself, or the rotors, or just a combo of both.i love it, that little car stops on a dime now.

i forget what size rotors i beleive its 10.2...yes you should do fronts aswell, yess makes a difference for stopping power...caliper is a lil bigger with gsr

Im going to put my brake conversion on my EG this weekend. The Integra rotors are 10.3" btw. There's no need for a booster if you are using a Civic 15/16" MC. If you are using an Integra RS MC, you'll need that booster. The Integra calipers have a larger piston than an EX with 10.3" rotors. So it's better than a regular hatch caliper.
