Default Mini cooper(non-s) brakes fit onto CIVICS??

http://www.team-integra.net/forum/19...gs-ls-gsr.html

on T.I. they show pictures of it fitting onto his integra directly!?

would this apply the same as well for our civics? I would really like to do this, but has anyone tried it before on HT?? it would be a big brake upgrade for a very good price..after some google search, i haven't really found much.. anyone care to help me on this? thanks.

You didn't search at all. I read up on this brake swap not too long ago.

Hmm, that's pretty cool. It would bump me up to the next class in autox though, I wonder if it'd be worth it.

Really almost any brakes will work on any car, it's just a matter of machining the assembly to make it work. My buddy Mike, (BrakeExpert) has 45 or 50 brake setups for civics that mostly come from makes outside of Honda.

For example, he's using Ferrari 430 brakes on his 97' Sedan at the moment, he says he likes the NSX brakes better. But the Ferrari has better ventilated disks.
