Default question about GSR brakes on a eg hatch

i need to replace my rotors and pads soon and i was thinking. i know one of my buddies has GSR brakes on his EG sedan. so my question is, when i order new rotors should i get normal '94 Si (already has 4 wheel disc factory) or should i get GRS rotors? these are my concerns: will they fit into Si steelies? will i still be able to use the Si calipers?

your buddy probably did a brake swap. Those rotors are bigger, so you wont be able to use them

What car and brakes do you currently have? Your signature says one thing, and your post says another. There were also two different brake configurations available for the '94 EH3 Si (Si and Si-ABS).

Also, some '92-95 Civic sedans (the LX-ABS and the EX) were equipped with the same brakes as "GSR" Integras (which are the exact same brakes found on all other '94-01 Integras except the Type-R).

Then does that mean you have the stock Si suspension? If so, why would you want to order anything different than what you have?

Then you already have the exact same brakes as an Integra.

You sure the 94 Si came with the bigger brakes?

The Si-ABS model had 10.3" front rotors with 17CL14VN calipers and the ubiquitous 9.5" rear disc setup. That's exactly what all '94-01 Integras (except ITR) were equipped with.

The Si without ABS had 9.5" front rotors and used the same calipers as found on CX/VX/DX/LX Civics.
