I just bought a 95 GSR recently, and it came with the 96 JDM ITR 4x114 suspension/wheels/brakes.

Lately, the brakes have been making grinding noises. The noises have made me doubt the cars braking capabilities. I took it to a shop because I thought it was my ABS flipping out, but they told me my rotors were fuct (meaning they can't be re-surfaced anymore).

So my question to you Honda-Tech people is:

What other rotors can I order that fit. Anything that will clear my calipers?
A friend told me to go with the 94-96 Prelude VTEC Rotors. I just want to double check before I start ordering stuff online. I really don't want to get another set of these JDM rotors. I think they come as whole sets, not just two front rotors.

Also, what kind of brake pads am I supposed to get (or fit) for these JDM ITR calipers?

bump in the trunk. i see no one here on honda-tech wants to help me. how nice.

I DO BELIEVE THE 95 H22 VTEC ROTORS WILL FIT YOUR APPLICATION

Actually the Prelude VTEC rotors (fronts) are 11" and the GSR/ITR 4-lug rotors are 10.3"



10.3" ITR rotors (same size as the GSR rotors, just 4x114)



11" Prelude rotors, using Accord model calipers.... 3mm spacer needed w/ITR wheels



10.3" ITR 4x114 rotors vs. 11" Prelude 4x114 rotors

Your best solution.... get some GSR rotors and redrill them to 4x114. That's what I did to a few sets and for other people.

BTW, you can use the stock ITR/GSR calipers with the 11" rotors but it's not going to grab the entire rotor (smaller contact area) and braking won't be as good. That's why you need a larger caliper, and a specific Accord model caliper will only work as it's the most narrow of the Prelude/Accord calipers out there to fit under your wheel.

thanx for the info

babemonster_bo

I thank you guys for hooking it up with the information.

Are the non-vtec 94-96 prelude rotors smaller then? Just wondering. I gotta get my god damn brakes fixed. I don't even feel like driving the god damn thing anymore.

actually... my friend had the same problem. we measured up a 86-87 Acura Legend front rotor, and it had the same measurements.. 10.3'.. and it was a 4x114. as for the brake pads, we used 96 GSr ones. hope that helps.

good thought!

I believe the width is slightly different, or at least the offset of how it mounts to the knuckle so you may have to use some shims/spacers on the calipers to make it grab the equal amount on both sides of the rotor.

with brake pads, always match with the caliper.

90-97 accord should be the right ones. rotors and pads.

someday

where can one get 96 jdm itr hubs front and rear, u can use the rotors of a 94 prelude vtec.

can anyone confirm this setup will work?

if you are maintaining the oem size rotors all around, the direct replacement brake pads are 94-01 integra LS,GS,RS,GSR.. they are all the same.

Hmm, my spare GSR calipers don't clear my redrilled 11" rotors, I thought you needed the 5-lug ITR calipers (or early accord wagon?) to fit the 11" rotors properly. The 11" rotors I used were from the front 94-era prelude vtec 4x114.
Maybe the accord ones will work, but aren't they different - as their wheel bearing bolts to the rotor, where as the civic/tegs they're pressed on??

gsr calipers are for the 10.2" calipers. i know for a fact that if you use 92-96 vtec prelude calipers, pads and brackets for the front, that it will clear the 11" VTEC rotors. I know because thats what i have on my car

i have lots of these in just front that i could sell parts off of
