Does your car have ABS or not? They look like ordinary EX calipers, without ABS.

I just installed these on my car: http://www.importrp.com/produc...age=2
With the EX, they were sold with or without ABS and the calipers are slightly different. Find out if you have ABS or not (which it doesnt appear that you do) and order the appropriate pads

Do you plan on racing your car in any autocross or roadracing events?

But your brakes look stock to me. I'm thinking the people at your autoparts store are giving you the wrong ****. That has happened to me way more than 5 times at a local autozone. Either their system is fucked up or their minds are.

you have integra brakes. EX/Si brakes from any 92-95 dont look like that.

93 EX pads for a specific NON ABS application will work. There is a difference, make sure the ones you get are specific for a NON ABS caliper

That's because the '94-97 del Sol VTEC and the '93-95 EX 2dr non-ABS shared the same front calipers (16CL14VN) and took the same front pads (FMSI #D621).

The '92-95 Civics with ABS and all '94-01 Integras except Type-R shared the 17CL14VN front calipers and took the FMSI #D617 pads. Often times, chain parts stores will incorrectly have the '93-95 EX 2dr non-ABS listed as using these calipers/pads in their catalog, and as a result will give out the wrong parts.

Brembo Blanks and Hawk HP+!!!!!!!!! We have them on four of the cars in our driveway. Three of the cars are daily drivers and all four have been to autocross. Two have been tracked. And one completed the Targa Newfoundland Rally.

Don't use drilled/slotted rotors.
