I think your only option is to get diffrent brakes up front.

I think the SI brakes should work, not sure though.
Don't know much, about that.

you have two options, ditch the gsr front spindles(please dont do it!) and get the EX/si fronts(same size disk with smaller caliper) or ditch the wheels.....

i know its a toughy, i would ditch the wheels although they look nice... just think of the stopping power!

guys, there is no reason for spacers. take a damn grinder to just the outside of caliper and shave down maybe a 1/16th of inch! i have done this on 4 cars already! its just that easy and its free! good luck, eric

Eric is right. My buddy did the same thing and it works just fine. No need to buy anything. Free mods are sometimes good mods...
