I asked a friend with an ep3 and she isn't 100% certain but she believes so.

well the base model rsx has the same size brakes as the EP3 except they are 5 bolt instead of the 4 bolts on the EP3 (02-03) the 04 and 05 have 5 bolts making them the same brakes...

The Type-S as the same same size rear brakes as the base model RSX and EP3 but the front has an 11.3" disc while the EP3 and base RSX have a 10.3" disc...

I am no sure on the Type-R but I know they use Brembo calipers... not sure on the disc size...

I myself will be just doing the Type-S front conversion and Rsx base rear conversion... because it will be cheaper getting the base model rear conversion compared to the RSX-S...

since were talking about breaks i was going to get brembo drilled and crossed rotors for my 05 type s. Online they said they are direct replacement from the stock rotors. I was wondering if its true if iits just a direct swap and for calibers i wanted to get the ones for the integra type r and will they be a direct swap out as well

the USDM EP3 got 4 bolts, the EURO/JDM EP3-type R got 5 bolts as the RSX...

the point is that in the states the parts of a EP3 type-r split between the EP3 SI and the RSX-S some of each car fits the euro ones...

11 inch rotors would be nice on my EP3...

But the hawk pads are kicking *** right now anyway.

Why do you want cross drilled rotors?

RSX-S calipers are the same as the CTR without the fancy logo. Save your money, kids.

not worth it...you dont really need a big brake kit on your rsx-s unless you will be doing alot of track racing and even then you really don't need to upgrade to a big brake kit, just better pads should be suffice...save you money for some other parts that will be more beneficial to you!!

In the euro Type R there is no fancy logo just a simple caliper.
so you say for sure that i can get rotors and pads for type s and fit them to my type r?
I'm doing this because parts for type R in Israel are expensive!
or you just can't get them.
