Default Big Brake back to stock

Ive got a 97 si coupe with an AEM big brake kit 14' rotors and kvr 4 piston calipers. I bought the car with these brakes installed however I want to back to stock size to run a smaller wheel. Currently I have 18's as that is all that will fit.

My question is, if anyone knows, is that with the big brake kit did that relocate the caliper with another caliper bracket or if I get new rotors the current setup for the calipers will fit.

Thanks

You'll need the caliper and caliper brackets, pads and the rotors.

There is no such thing as a 1997 Si.

If you tell us what trim level you really have, we can tell you what brakes to put on it. If you're not sure, you should probably post your Vin#.

There typically are 3 different 10.3" front brake setups for Civics.

- 54mm pistons on non-ABS cars that use a 7/8" master cylinder
- 57mm pistons on non-ABS cars that use a 15/16" master cylinder
- 57mm pistons on ABS cars that use a 1" master cylinder

I'm not as knowledgeable on the EK's as the EF's & EG's (cause I don't have one). But if you have ABS, then only go with the 57mm/1" combo. If you don't have ABS, then any of those combos will work.

What size master cylinder does your car have right now? It should be embossed into the side of the thing...
