I would recommend rear rsx type s calipers to match (itr rears might work as well can't remember 100%), as the stock rear caliper won"t have long enough "fingers" or whatever they are called to press on the entire brake pad, however if you use rsx type s they will be upside down and need to be flipped in order to bleed (so it's a trade-off).

Also, You can mill the front itr caliper bracket 3.2mm on mounting surface to the hub, I can find pics of mine. that way you can use itr pads all around. Some report an overhang with the cooper rotor, and you won't need to use a hub centric ring with the itr bracket. Stock 15' integra wheels will work with this setup. It's what I have and have used LS mesh, sunflowers, 6uls, and Kosei K1s. this gives me 11.1" front, 10.3 rear 4x100, this mimics the 98+ ITR brakes just not 5 lug.

EDIT: if you don't use the cooper rotor, you will need a 4gen Prelude Vtec rotors redrilled to 4x100. (I think 93-96 or something like that)

Not trying to thread-jack, but just trying to extend this info some: What about a 94 Civic EX coupe that has rear drums...what would need to be done to get the rears at a 10.3" disc, 4x100?

Yes, if you want 11” front and 10.2(?) rear. I’d get the EP3 pads, too.

My exact setup is:
FRONT
1995 GSR knuckles
2000 ITR calipers
2004 TSX pads
2007 Mini Cooper 11” (280mm) rotors

REAR
1995 GSR trailing arms
1995 GSR calipers
2002 Civic Si rotors
2002 Civic Si pads
2002 Civic Si brake caliper mounting bracket

94-01 Integra rear trailing arms, as they are easiest and most abundant to source, rsx-s caliper/bracket, 02-03 Civic si rear rotor (basically the 4-lug ep3, at some point the ep3 went factory 5-lug), then you cam get 10.3 rear pad (itr, tsx, ep3, etc) I think you can also use the rear ITR caliper with this setup too, then you don’t have to invert the caliper to bleed.

Just make sure that the front rotors are the 280mm if you decide for sure on the Mini Cooper rotors.

Thanks! If I go pull some Integra RTA's, what all should I keep and what should I strip off in the yard, so they don't nickel and dime me?
