Would you trade 15" rotas for a Front and Rear SI brakes?
Curious what everyone thinks about this.
Personally, it would depend if I really wanted the brakes or if I really wanted the rims. :-)
Got the brakes, really want the rims.
EDIT: Yes a set of 4.

I dunno, man: the Si rear discs really do make a noticable difference. The fronts aren't anything incredible, but I dunno if I'd want to go through all the work of ripping out my brakes just to put some Rotas on my car.
I'd say keep the brakes.

Which wheels??
I mean, on a EX, you only need the rear conversion. You can buy rear disk setups from a Civic Si for $200. Depends if the wheels are worth more than $200, get the wheels!

Any ROTAs.
Yes the EX only needs the rear however, a DX owner might want the whole thing

Almost. Calipers are slightly different but Disk size is the same.
Goes for 92-95 EX/SIs as well.

99-00 si front brakes are exactly the same as 96-00 ex. Check the part #s. Upgrade calipers off 94-01 Teg onto ex or si rotors. They bolt right up.

Minor correction 92-95SI has the little front brakes.
If you want the rotas then go for it, even if you sold the brakes on ebay, you would only get about what it would cost for a new set of rotas. Do your brakes include MC and booster? or just front/rear brakes? If it includes mc and booster, I would want a little cash to go along with the rotas.
