GSR dc2 - converting the front brakes. Need help!!!
Hi guys!
I've been doing the search for about 30 times and read a lot 'bout brake conversions for GSR's and ITR's.
From what i've learnt the best solution would be NSX\Legend GS brake calipers + ITR\Legend\Prelude brake rotors. Hopefully i'm right - please correct me.
I want to use Honda OEM parts (where possible) and look for 100% bolt-on installation.
Still there are some questions left unanswered for me:
1. What CHASIS number has this Legend GS?
KA7, KA8?
2. Will NSX\Legend GS caliper install be 100% BOLT-ON onto GSR?
Or ANY additional parts\work is needed?!
3. If i want to stay 4x100 - what are possible solutions (EXCEPT 'FastBrakes' and\or ANY redrillings)?
I'm intetrested ONLY in bolt-on's!
4. HOW EXACTLY may i jump to 5 lug (like on ITR's)?
What parts\work is needed?!
As far as i've learnt you can't just install a 5 lug (5x114,3) hub onto GSR -
as wheel bearings are NOT the same size.
In fact, the ITR's wb's are the same as Preludes...
I would VERY MUCH appreciate your comments and help on this topic!
Thanks in advance!

THANKS A LOT!
Very informative!
The only thing which still left unanswered is 5-lug BOLT-ON conversion...
Is that possible?!
What about using CR-V hubs?

As far as the 5-lug goes, I believe most people buy a complete suspension (hubs, brakes, knuckles, trailing arms, etc.) and swap it in. You could compare part numbers and see what all is different between the ITR and the other Integra chassis. This site is good for that: http://www.acuraparts247.com

Once again - thanks a lot!
I guess a coplete swap is better but more expensive...
After reading all the stuff i almost agree for redrilling the stock Prelude VTEC brake disks but my only concern is would i be able to correctly perform it myself...
