Default 114.3 JDM Disc Brake Conversion on my 1993 Civic Coupe EX-Wrong rotors?

I did a front and rear disc brake conversion from a 1995 Integra from Japan. It is now 4x114.3. I bought all 4 Brembo Rotors from and they do not fit. I think they are 4x100. Does anyone know what kind of rotors I should be looking for? I really want brembo but I need some help on this. Anyone have the same problem, or know what to do in my situation?

Get them redrilled for the rear and it's entirely possible that the fronts are too small.

What car did you buy them for? Dont tell me you bought them for a USDM Integra! As far as i know (and this is assuming the front rotors are 11.1") the only car here with that size/pattern would be the Prelude VTEC (93-96) the Accord wagons (91-97) have that same front size but it is a hub on rotor design that wouldnt work. In the rear (not sure about the offset) you would need to use rotors from an Accord (90-97) Prelude (92-96) 98-02 Accord 4cyl and 4 cylinder Acura CLs from 97-99 (all of the above used a 10.2" rotor out back) Now that is preliminary info based off the size hub bore and pattern being identical to the JDM 4x114.3 pattern but i cannot verify that the offset of the rotor is correct. Maybe pass by a parts store and purchase a rotor (keep it clean) and test fit from one of the above models. If they work out, return them so you know what Brembo rotors to buy. If you are going to redrill them, make sure the rotors you have have the proper offset. or call Brian at fastbrakes for a quicker answer. Good luck

The rotors are the same size as any non-ITR USDM Integra. If you bought regular USDM DC2 rotors, have them redrilled for a 4x114.3 pattern.

The Prelude VTEC rotors are larger but the 92-96 Prelude Si might be the right size and bolt pattern.

The 92-96 Prelude rotors are five lug. My JDM integra are 4 lug, but they are 114.3. If I put the Prelude Si rotors on will there be an extra hole since its five lug? Would that matter? Also, If this is the case, can't I just buy some Integra Type R rotors that have 5 holes in them? I'm confused. The machine shop I went to today wants way too much to redrill all 4 rotors.

92-96 Prelude are 4x114.3
97-01 Prelude are 5x114.3

For the rears you're going to have to get them redrilled - there's no awy around that. You can try to find a 92-96 Si (non-H22) Prelude rotor and see if that's the right size but I'm speculating at this point.

Out of curiosity, how much did the machine shop want to redrill them?

Machine shop charges $140 for all 4, But I think I'm just gonna sell my 4 Brembo Blanks for USDM Civic/Integra. I found these at fastbrakes.com

Slotted/dimpled 9.4" rear rotors for the 96 Spec JDM Integra TypeR with 4x114.3 bolt pattern. Price per pair of rotors.

Slotted/dimpled 10.3" front rotors for the 96 Spec JDM Integra TypeR with 4x114.3 bolt pattern. Price per pair of rotors.

Should I just buy these and call it a day? What does slotted/Dimpled mean? It would be better to sell mine and pay the difference for these rotors. These will fit perfect for my JDM 4x114.3 Conversion Correct? I have the JDM Calipers they came with as well. By the way, will my Hasport H22 axles fit on my front JDM 4x114.3?

To answer the questions about Fastbrakes products, it would be best to contact Fastbrakes. Brian is really good about answering as many emails or phone calls as possible.

The same goes for the HASport axles. If they're designed to fit 32mm splined hubs then you should be good but there's no reason you can't contact their support staff with any questions.

Don't be afraid to contact a vendor if you have a question. You gave them your money for their products. If they're good companies (which both of the above are) then they'll have no problems standing behind their products and offering support. But take into account that some research and common mechanical sense need to be done on your part as well. They can't hold your hand and neither can we.

We can't tell you what to do with your money so it's really up to you whether you should buy 4 replacement rotors or not.
