Default Want larger brakes 2000 Civic SI

All rotors and pads need to be replaced so I am considering upgrading to larger brakes. I would like to use all Honda parts.

Car is a 96 Civic CX with a complete 2000 Civic SI brake system. I want the largest brakes I can fit under 15" Integra wheels. I believe 11.1" front 10.4" rear are ITR sized so I assuming these would fit under the wheels.

I think I have figured out what I need for the front but I am unsure how the mounting bracket needs to be modified.

Rears I have no effing clue. Clarification would be greatly appreciated.

The largest rotors you'll be able to pull off is 11", the largest Calipers technically would be the Legend/NSX calipers.

If I were you I'd upgrade to ITR Front Caliper/brake combo and keep the rears "as-is" just replacing rotors/pads/lines. They won't make much of a difference regardless as the fronts brakes is where its at on our cars.

You'll most need to shave that mounting bracket, rotors will need to be re-drilled to 4x100 etc....I'd do SS lines at this time too since your pulling the whole thing apart. Check out fastbrakes for their complete packages.

$520 (includes everything)

I bought that setup for $300 minus the steel braided lines.

if you still have the cx knuckle you could get s2000 front calipers and VW corrado rotors. its a little over 11in up front. thats what i have on my 93 si. as for the rears you could get EP3 rotors(4 lug) and pads and use the EP3 rear calipers. it will all bolt on but you have to put the left on the right and the right on the left to bolt up the e-brake cables. its pretty straight forward and a simple upgrade.

i would get a 1in master cylinder to move the extra fluid so you dont lose too much pedal with the larger calipers
