I doubt you need such a large brake upgrade. I have integra brakes on my vx, and they seriously stop my car. I can lock my gsr wheels with kuhmo asx all season tires up.

Its not that I want to lock up the wheels, but larger diameter rotors disburse heat more efficiently, and I boiled some brake fluid, so im upgrading everything from fluid, lines, and rotors.

on your del sol, unless you've swapped out your knuckles, chances are that you have DX knuckles, which uses 9.5" rotors in the front.

integra type r calipers, stamped 17CL15VN uses a bracket stamped 23T (which can be found in junkyards off integra type-r, accord, prelude, legend, vigor, cl, tl, rl, cr-v, etc), the legend gs 2-pot uses a 25T bracket and 91-96 nsx caliper, a 28T bracket. the calipers & brackets can be swapped back and forth and share the same size pads.

once you obtain the calipers, the brackets must be sent to a machine shop & milled 2-3mm or 1/8" (where the bracket mates with the knuckle). the milled brackets can be used with the 17CL15VN itr, legend gs 2-piston & nsx calipers.

for rotors, use 10.3" rotor from any 90-01 integra. the brake pads also must be filed down (or grinded) slightly to clear the hat of the rotor. [if you plan on swapping to 94-00 integra knuckles w/ nsx calipers & machined brackets, you'll need 11" prelude vtec rotors, which must be re-drilled 4X100]

* on your del sol, upgrade your m/c from a 90-91 civic ex 4-door. since the nsx caliper uses a bigger piston, you'll need to swap out to a bigger master brake cylinder to push more fluid.
