Default 2002 base RSX brakes onto 2003 ep3

Hi guys, new here. Just have a quick question.

My front brakes on my 03 EP are shot but I have a good deal on a front pair of calipers from an 2002 RSX base.

My question is, will they fit? The rotor Diameter on the RSX is only larger by 0.1 of an inch. Will it mount on my knuck fine? Can I use my stock pads or do I have to get RSX pads?

Thanks for your time!

It should fit - I have Type S calipers and rotors on my EP3, so something smaller should fit, no problem. I would check the measurements - wouldn't be surprised if the base are the same as the EP3's. Easy way to do that is to compare part #s for brake pads on Tirerack between the RSX base and the EP3s.

Though to me, this isn't worth the "upgrade", if there is any. The Type S is an ok upgrade, TSX would be better (use 2004 as the year, I forget off the top of my head the range of years of this gen of TSX).
