Hi, i assume this has already been asked but i couldnt find what i was looking for with searching.
I'm from italy, i have a 96 civic EK3, i believe it is the same as an EX in the USA.
It's a non-abs model with 262x21mm rotor size.
I ordered a couple of S2000 calipers because i red i could install 300x25mm rotors, but they dont come with the bracket, and i'm now wandering:

what bracket do i actually need to buy to have this work???

I know theres a 25T bracket, what i can't gather is what cars run this bracket apart from the s2000 itself.
Finding an s2000 bracket in italy is not easy.
There are the ones from A4H but they are too expensive to just buy them and find out they don't work.

Thanks for any help that will be offered


EDIT: i just realized the 300mm rotors wont even fit my 15", for street use i cannot put anything other than 15" so i belive my best choice would be to use the 280x28mm rotors

If you want to run 280mm discs, Type R calipers is the way to go. Plenty of write-ups on here on how to do it.

 

that would get me a 280x23 right? i was looking, if possible, to fit a 280x28.

I have gathered more informations tho, and narrowed down my options to two:

- legend 2 pot calipers, code 17CL15VN, with 28T bracket
- ITR (as suggested), should be the same code, with 23T bracket
The total piston area is basically the same between the two

in both cases i believe the master cylinder should be swapped out for a 15/16" (23,8mm), now being a 7/8" (22,23mm).
I'm not sure if it is necessary as i have heard that many just swap the calipers with the ITR ones and that's it.

As i understand, being that the 2 pot calipers come with the 28T bracket, that should be all its needed to fit them to the EK3 and run a 280mm disk (after checking rotor height)

I might just try the 2 pot with 28T rotor for science.

 

I'm running the standard EM1 master. Simply swapped over to bigger calipers, Mini Cooper discs and CL7 Accord brake pads. Haven't had an issue with them on track.

 

So, in the end i bought CR-V RD1 calipers. They only fit the mini cooper brake rotors but i was kind of reluctant to fit these rotors when the MG ZS rotors are a better fit with the same center bore and bolt holes. Only problem is: MG ZS rotors are 25 thickness, what cars run 25T brackets that i can swap to?

 

Pretty sure legend is 25T. It's been years since I looked though. Most people that wanted a 25mm thick rotor back when would run re-drilled legend rotos as well.

G60 Corrado used to be the de facto rotor for this swap before the Mini existed. Works with the 23T bracket. Mini are sub-optimal at 21mm thick.
