Default 12" Front and 11.1" Rear Integra rotors

I am looking to convert my 98 GSR front and rear rotors. I was about to buy the powerslot plus kit; but I read the write up that was posted here. That talked me out of it. I want to now buy the caliper relocation brackets from powerslot and use rotor blanks, (probably from Brembo) that are the same size as the powerslot plus rotors. I read that Prelude rotors come in 11.1"; but except for the bolt pattern and diameter is everything else compatible for my GSR? (Hat size, hub, rotor thickness)

Also, where can I find 12" rotor blanks that would fit my GSR with the caliper relocation brackets? Already did a search here and the web; and couldn't find squat.

why dont you just get a fastbrakes kit? From what I hear, prelude rotors wont work with GSR calipers (I may be wrong on that)

You can also do the legend brake conversion, using legend calipers. Search around, I think it is what you're looking for.

Read this thread:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=734560

Please use the 92-96 Prelude VTEC rotors with the 4x114.3mm bolt circle as they have the correct center bore and the rotor can be redrilled to 4x100mm without overlapping holes.

The Legend two-piston calipers are directional. Mounting them properly would have the bleeder facing down instead of up.

Fastbrakes kit is $800.
Powerslot brackets (front and rear) $180
Brembo blank rotors (front and rear) $200 est.
Machining 4x100 bolt pattern in rotors (front and rear) $120

The bottom line is: Saved money. Unless I'm wrong about the Brembo blanks price.

I want to keep the same calipers. I saw the article for the NSX caliper conversion. Maybe in the future when I boost my Teg.

Can I just get the blanks from Brembo or Raybestos and have the bolt pattern machined in? Is the rotor thickness the same as well as the hat height?

I heard that if you mount the Legend calipers on the opposite sides that the bleeder will be facing up. IE: Right side Legend caliper on the Left side of the Integra and vice versa. Don't know if this is true.

Just get better pads for now then. For what will you need bigger brakes? Are you going to track the car? Bigger brakes will not make you stop faster, they will make you consistently stop the same by resisting fade.

Yes, you can just redruill the rotors. The stock Integra rotor height is 45mm. The ITR (92-96 Prelude VTEC and some Accord V6s) rotor height is 47mm. Read the thread that I posted above. It is a good guide.

The leading piston on a two-piston caliper is a smaller diameter than the trailing piston. By switching sides to correct for the bleeder orientation, you reverse the piston direction (leading is now larger). The proper way to do that would be to redrill the caliper for another bleeder.

I know, the stopping distance relies on the tires you use. My need for bigger brakes is purely aesthetic.

I'll probably never track my car; so I'll never need 2 or 4 piston calipers.
