First things first: I have a 95 GS-R with 96 Spec ITR 4 Lug suspsenion, 4x114.3.

My question: How can you upgrade the brakes on this, i.e.: rotors and calipers?

Is it true you can use the Prelude Rotors on there and VTEC calipers?

What kind of brake pads would I have to get?

Lastly, is it recommended to go with X-drilled, slotted, or both on the rotors?


If you could help me on this with some info, it would be much appreciated, thanks

 

Do a search for the pads. I remember reading a post in the ITR forum saying which pads you need to buy.

thanks for the info, but are the rotors for the pre 97 preludes the same size as the ITR 4 lug rotors?

 

up...i need some info on this
