Default Will Prelude Vtec rotors fit S2000 calipers?

I'm rocking Prelude calipers with re-drilled grooved rotors at the mo and the drivers side caliper piston is starting to stick. I've got a set of S2000 calipers with brackets etc and wondered if these would work with the Prelude rotors and pads?

Its a Civic SiR too.

Thanks

not iirc. I believe the prelude rotor is an 11.1" rotor and the s2000 uses an 11.8" rotor. so therefore the caliper will be too big for the prelude rotor.

The s2000 caliper should bolt to the Prelude bracket but you cant use the s2000 caliper AND bracket together with your 11.1 rotor

You dont need to mill anything. Put the s2000 caliper on the prelude bracket. Now if you were trying to use the s2000 rotor AND bracket not only will it need to be milled, but because its bracket (s2000) pushes the caliper further from the hub, it will need 11.8" rotors as well. You wont need this if you simply take the s2k calipers only and mount them to the Prelude brackets you have already

Your brackets dont need to be milled to accept the s2k calipers. Just use your Prelude brackets and youre good.

Perfect! I guess you use the S2k pads then?

Actually you use the pads that belong to the bracket. So Prelude pads and yes they will work fine with the s2k calipers

Well tried the S2K caliper on the lude brackets and the bolt holes simply won't line up. Even tried swapping the gliders in the brackets around to see if that helped which it didn't.

Worth a go i guess, thanks anyways.

Hmm thats weird. it could be just the ITR/Accord Wagon brackets that would accept them. I knew the rear Prelude brackets have closer bracket to trailing arm bolt spacing but not the front caliper to bracket. What bracket is that, a 23T or 25T?
