Hey I need some advice from some people with experience in swapping there si or s calipers out for the bigger vtec calipers and rotors.Is it a straight bolt on affair,where all I do is remove the parts on my car and replace them with the vtec parts,or will I need new parts other than pads,rotors,and calipers.Also after u do the swap do u notice better braking? I am wanting to do this but have not been able to find much info on it,and just want to make sure Im not getting in 2 deep....haha,any help is appreciated,and before the haters freak out.......I SEARCHED and found nothing but a pair of rear calipers that were sale a long time ago,and thats it.

You will need new calipers and brackets, rotors and pads. Finding the brackets is the hard part.

You can use 5th generation brackets, pads, and calipers, but not 5th generation rotors (they are 5 lug).

 

what brackets?I suppose the ones that actually fasten the calipers to the car?Thanks again for the help.

Whats hard about it?? online parts (like majestic honda) is a easy place to get them or ask for a semi loaded or fully loaded caliper at your local auto parts store

 

So as long as I have these parts its a staright across switch?Also does any1 know about the stopping power,is it a big difference?Does anyone have this set up,and used to have smaller rotors and calipers?

 

Bump anybody????

 

well, the vtec rotors are, if I remember corrently, 11.?" but the Si are 10.?" big... so it sure would brake better
