you can put 11" brakes on 4 lug too
just get the ITR caliper
fastbrakes specR rotors
you will need integra hubs , I think civic Si hubs are the same??
you will also have to remove about 2mm of material off the caliper braket, remove the material from the inside of the braket...where the rotor goes....don't shave off where the braket mates with the hub
I used a 7" angle grinder...worked great

remove 2mm from the red side....not the blue
Got some Cobalt Friction GT-Sports brake pads in the front
and axxis ultimates in the rear
with goodridge stainless steel lines
brakes are f*cking awesome....i don't need more brakes than this

And for an even larger rotor you can use the 92-96 prelude vtec rotors redrilled to 4x100, right? This has been my dream forever, aside from 5lug, but can never find all the parts.

Re: NSX calipers install. Myths and Rumors Answered.. *pics* (Grocery Getter)
itr calipers should fit under all 15" wheels
nsx calipers should fit under most 15" wheels
only difference is that their are cooling fins on the nsx...so it protrudes a lil bit more
I'm rocking 15" rims right now...I refuse to go bigger...15's are the way to go..i'd go smaller if they would fit over my brakes

Re: NSX calipers install. Myths and Rumors Answered.. *pics* (Dan GSR)
what size rotors are needed to fit the nsx calipers?
is there a stock 4x100 rotor that will fit them?
or do i have to get a custom one made?

Re: NSX calipers install. Myths and Rumors Answered.. *pics* (chameleon)
when you re-drill rotors, do you get the old holes filled?
and also the little screw holes will be useless also after that correct?

I 've been told that NSX calipers will not fit on a 4 lug. You have to have some can of part to make them fit.. Also would they clear a 15 inch rim.... Someone please give me the break down and what part I need.
