I suggest you upgrading the rear too, otherwise you'll need two sets of rims, one 5x114.3 and the other 4x100.

Brakes are f:11" and r:10.2" I believe, as oppose to f:10.3" and r:9.4".

i would only do the caliper upgrade and get 11" discs. im not doing the 5 lug conversion. so it will still remain 4x100

I would do it all around.

Wouldn't there be brake bias, even though the cars not RWD.

Not needed for the rear. Integra(and most road cars) are set up front biased to begin with. Just use performance pads all around and you are all set.


Changing rotors would give you more fade resistance, and that would be it. Front is obviously beneficial as your car sees most braking in the front, the rear rarely gets overheated.

thats weird cause a couple weeks when it was pretty hot out my driver side rear brake pad was smoking and over heating. it didnt do that the entire summer. i was braking a little heavy but not that much more than normal.

i hear that the 1" rotor difference makes a difference in stopping power though anrd that the ITR calipers has large pistons.
