Easiest way: Stoptech. https://www.corsportusa.com/i-210-20...kit-front.html

Integra type R brembos if you're serious about it, or RSX typeS for bigger front rotors. Both will require at least new axles, having different count splines on the hub iirc.

You just quoted yourself, sir.

Stoptech package includes discs, 4 piston calipers, and adapter brackets. No other changes, such as axles. $1800.

That link is for the wrong EP3s, btw.

The title iz confusing - do you have a type R and want to upgrade the brakes or want to upgrade the brakes to possibly the type Rs?
If you don’t want any hassles and have normal 04 ep3 brakes, just upgrade to the RSX Type S rotors and calipers, ss brake lines, good pads, and new fluid.

No no need for new axles.

Ah, yeah, typeS would drop right on. I had it in my mind that he had the 4 lug EP3 for some reason...

No real need to swap to anything for the rears, unless you want to have larger rotors/calipers for appearance sake. I have the Type S brakes on my fronts, and they fit fine on stock rims (my winter setup), if you were concerned about that too.
