will some SI rotors fit on my EX...suck as these

http://www.ajperformance.com/p...37907

 

EX calipers are WAY smaller than the Si. I dont think they would

 

Rotors will probably fit, but since they are probably bigger then your stock EX ones, you wont be fitting your stock rims back over them....

I know the rotors are bigger (like half an inch or s) but even the calipers too?

EDIT: front front brakes on EX/Si are just amazingly way more different that I thought

Just out of curiosity why would you want to? Not like it'll give you better braking power or anything

is this for sure? becuase ive seen Si's with steelies as winter ties. given that the LX steelies and EX alloys are the same size, they are fitting over the Si brakes

i want to change my rear drums to disc mainly for looks. since when i get my volks, it'll look better when i paint the calips red. also probably get different rotors down the line for the front and rear. who knows.

Ya im also curious why people want to do big brake kits? is it the look?

Stock calipers with some good pads and ss lines is all any civic ever needed. strange that very few people who actually race their cars opt for brakes beyond oem

2 reasons...

1. compared to my pgt which had kvr big brake kit...these brakes are not that good. i know i cant compare a big brake kit to stock but im used to them and just want the braking power back. for honda, i know the stock civic brakes are pretty good when comparing them to my accord especially.

2. slotted will help a little i think w/ some upgraded pads. looking to do a big brake kit but i haven't seen any so i thought that this would be a start until one comes out .

Personally I have not seen EX alloys on an Si yet. Steelies yes and depending on which steelies ou get, the gap between the caliper and the rim is like a few sheets of paper...
