do the type r 4 lug 4x114 have the same size calipers and rotors as the 5 lug?

 

No. The 96 spec 4x114.3 uses the same caliper and rotor (10.25") size as any 94-01 Integra. It's the same brakes but different lug pattern. The 98 spec 5x114.3 uses a larger caliper and rotor (11.1") like our USDM R except that it uses a larger outer axle joint.

But all USDM 5 lug uses normal sized axles.

Personally I think 5 lug is overrated bling. You can get some awesome brake kits from Fastbrakes for 4x100 and still fit under 15" wheels.

The 5 lug is not over rated bling. I've had a couple cars with 5 lug. I mean...it IS expensive, and for a little bit more money, you can get an aftermarket setup...or for less money you can adapt a setup.

The 5 lug does have it's advantages. Large selection of pads. replacement parts available at any parts store. very good pad/rotor surface area contact (unlike brake kits with just a bracket and a bigger rotor that just increase torque without increasing surface area). Simplicity of an OEM setup. Reliability of an OEM setup. Good modulation with the right OEM parts. EXCELLENT stopping power. And yes....bling. Taste and rare parts are important to me...and NO...I'm not a hard parker. I do a lot of track days every season.

I got mine for $300 with wheels, though. IIRC, they retail for like $1200? 1500? with wheels. Still a decent deal. Simplicity and parts availability is the main advantage in my eyes.

 

everything is over rated... i installed a transtop in my del sol.. you can say thats over rated.. its all part of working on cars... i spent 6k building a motor for my car too... its my hobby and that what i like to do.. its all about having stuff everyone else dont.. thanks for the info about the brakes..
