Default Its time to replace my rotors on my EX, can I put GSR rotors with stock calipers?

well my brakes need replacing, actually the front ones..

I need the pads and the rotors replaced...

My question is that since I am going the OEM route, instead of buying EX rotors could I just by GSR rotors instead?

Can I still ues my stock calipers on my vehcile?

I have fifteens on my car at the moment,

Would this be a bolt on type thing or face problems?

Suggestions?

Si/EX EG Rotors are the same diamater as the DC2 GSR. Only difference is the caliper. I think this subject has been covered. But its cool to bring it back up!
Yup

So what you mean is that

its a straight forward swap

I can replace my EX rotros with GSR rotors, without any clearence problems and still use my stock EX calipers?

I thought GSR rotors are larger then EX rotors, right?

wrong. GSR rotors = EX rotors
GSR calipers are bigger.

could you just swap the GSR calipers then? if so, is that easy or hard to do? and would it be worth it or should just get a big brake kit?

are there differences between the ABS versus non-ABS brakes? i have a 93 si and it doens't have ABS. i've looked at my friend's 94+ si hb and his brakes look significantly bigger...

if upgrading the front brakes of an EG with GSR calipers is so simple, what about the rear calipers? i have an EG w/rear discs (and ABS), could i swap in GSR rear calipers just as easily? what about rotor size? are those the same too?
