Default Interesting brake question!?

Hey I have a 95 civic coupe and was wondering if the front brake system is the same as 94-01 tegs? Reason I'm asking is I want to do the type r caliper swap with the mini cooper 11" rotors? I found a place that sells the kit for cheap but want to be sure it will be direct bolt on thanks!

what model is it? You might need an EX knuckle, but not totally sure. You need the Type R calipers and caliper bracket. Make sure you have plenty of room for your wheels to still fit. R calipers are alot bigger.

Two things. There's a sticky at the top of this forum dealing with brake combos and if you're not sure maybe contact the seller and see what car the kit actually fits? I can't believe that it doesn't mention it on the website. But then again that's what email and phones are for?

Don't worry I read the sticky but doesn't say anything about this upgrade in there. And it seems to be the best bolt on upgrade I've found. No re drilling rotors or shaving caliper brackets needed apperantly. But ofcourse I was asking for the read the sticky comment I seen it coming lol.

All you read was the first page obviously. There are multiple mentions of the Mini Cooper rotors in the thread further on.

Just saying. If you had read those you wouldn't have had to ask this non-interesting brake question.
