QUOTE- 5 lug will give you bigger brakes. Bigger isn't always better in the case of brakes. In fact, some big brake kits increase your stoping distance. Also add the fact these lower torque monster hondas can better without an increase in rotational mass that bigger brakes bring into the equation.
your better of getting a good set of OEM Brembo rotors, calipers, ss brake lines and better brake fluid.

i don tknow if this is any help at all...but I had 11 fastbrakes with teg calipers and had to have at least 15's....Can't tel lyou anything more and prolly isnt a ton of help but thats wat I know about it
Most of the O.E. break kits I've seen (caliper, rotors, etc) you need 16" wheels or bigger. Big Kits, such as Brembo GT, AEM require 17" wheels or bigger. I believe there are a few companies that actually make complete break kits compatable with 15" wheels. You're better off just getting rotors, aftermarket pads and break lines as you mentioned. Some people even suggest just getting aftermarket break pads and swapping out your breaks with that of a GSR.

if you really want big brakes they carry a wilwood set that will fit 15's with the proper offset, or they have big brake upgrades using integra calipers. i think they are 11 inch rotors.

AEM's 12in brakes work on my buddys 16in slipstream. I just bought the exact same kit as th eAEM made by Tenzo R and I think there both made by the same company-Brembo...I mean I compared them and everything is identical.
Problem is I have a VX and they will only work if I upgrade to EX,SI,GSR,etc...calipers. So I can't use them and will to sell them cheaper then anyone could imagine. contact me for pics. There the same cross drillerd,slotted, with adapter plates, and mounting hardware never opened. Look the same as AEM's 2 piece 12 inch kit with blue hats. Cheap I tell you!! Get ahold of me.

If you have OEM 15" wheels from a GSR, I believe Fastbrakes makes an 11" Rotor kit that will clear your rims. I'll be installing my Fastbrakes kit as soon as the weather permits me. I'll let you know how it turns out.

With that fastbrakes 11in kit that uses the GSR calipers, does that use special mounting brackets for the caliper or something? or is it just a GSR front setup with a larger rotor used?
