Icon5 2017 FK8 Type-R Brembos

Does anyone have the specs on the 2017 Type R brembos. Im curious to know if I could get them to work in a 2007 SI.

I'm not sure, do you have aftermarket wheels to clear them?

If you want Brembos, buy the proper ones for your car... and no, the 2017 CTR's Brembos will not even remotely work on a 2007 SI, unless you have 20" rims with the rotors to match.
  • Even then, you'd be doing massive overkill, unless you're running a turbo'd engine with upwards of 300hp... The front Brembos are 4 piston, the rear, single piston, with the latter being more appropriate for a vehicle not requiring such a high level of braking force.

20" wheels are not a must, but a 18" that clears the caliper is.

Yeah, the front brake rotors are only 350mm (13.8") X 28mm, you need 18s to clear them. Either way, the rotor and hub on the CTR is way different than the Si - they're not a direct swap. You're better off getting a Brembo Gran Turismo kit for your Si if you want the Brembos (if they make one yet).
