Default Identifying a brake upgrade?

I purchased my wagon with a 10.25" brake upgrade in the front. Now, the guy I bought it from claimed it was a EX knuckle with ITR calipers (which I read is a possible combination). My question is, what do I look at to find out if those are indeed the parts? The rotors are fubarred and I'm gonna do the front brakes anyways cause I'll be replacing the bearings and driveshafts, so I might aswell do it all.

Is the EX rotor the same as a 90 Teg? Are the ITR pads the same as a EX caliper pad?

Local autoparts store listed different numbers for all the parts. So I'm really confused.

EX rotors = DA rotors

ITR pads are not the same as EX pads.

Measure the size of the rotors if is it is 10.25" that is EX if it is 11.1" that is going to be a redrilled Legend or Prelude rotor.

the itr calipers are stamped: 1 7 C L 1 5 V N
Street Racer X, you can use the accord wagon calipers & as CRX Toad mentioned, the Legend calipers will work as well. the 17CL15VN caliper can also be found in junkyards (i.e., +97 prelude, accord, cr-v, vigor, rl, tl, cl, odyssey, etc). get the ITR calipers with the brackets


you'll need the 23T or 25T bracket

the itr calipers are not a bolt-on. the bolt pattern for the bracket & knuckle are the SAME, but the offset is different. if you were to try to bolt it on directly, the bracket would get caught on the rotor & the wheel would not be able to spin. the 23T (or 25T) bracket will need to be sent to the machine shop, where they'll mill approxiamately 2-3 mm (or 1/8") off (where the bracket mates with the knuckle).

the milled 23T (or 25T) allows you to use the ITR caliper (1-pot), legend GS (2-pot) or NSX calipers w/ 11" rotors on EX knuckles; they all share the same size pads

did you buy it from chris stewart? if so, DA integra pads/rotors should be what you want, those were just EX brakes i believe
