Default quick brake question

alright i dont have an abundance of knowledge when it comes to our brake setup(stock brakes) but i was wondering if i could replace my stock rotors with some DA integra rotors without any modifications... if not i will just go buy a pair or blank rotors at work for the '91 hatch... thanks

Your asking if you an use Da rotors with your calipers and knuckles without doing any mods,correct?
Answer is no. Only way is you change the knuckles to DA or 4g-EX then use the calipers (will be 17CL14VN) you get with those knuckles , OR find accord wagon/vigor/legend calipers (17CL15VN) and use your knuckles (will have to machine the bracket that comes with those calipers). If any of my info is incorrect, I'm sure someone will correct me.

This is not the classifieds, make a WTB ad in the classifieds section if you want to look for some rotors. If you want bigger brakes why not go with the whole setup from a 90-91 Civic EX or 90-93 Integra?

the reason im not going for the the DA swap is because i dont have the money... my rotors are warped so all im buying for now is rotors... but whenever i get the money ill let you know about your items that youre selling

don't go with drilled or slotted rotors, they don't actually help. they actually hinder a little bit, especially the drilled.

Yeah, just go with some brembo or any good quality blank rotor. If you want to see any difference in stopping power, a higher resistance to fading and better performance overall, you need to get the proper brake pads. Its always good to have new fluid and bleed the system.

ive also heard that they can crack when they get hot... but i always thought that those were the cheap *** rotors on ebay or something... not brembos or powerslots

my fluid is only about a month old and in the future i plan on getting a 4dr EF master cylinder, steel braided lines, DA brake swap along with ceramic pads and either Brembo or Bendix rotors... how does that setup sound to you guys? this of course is well into the future which is why i will just be getting rotors right now... thanks guys
