Default Gsr brakes

Will gsr calipers and rotors bolt right onto a 93 si? If not what needs to be changed? I have a fastbrakes setup on there now and plan to take it off and just run gsr brakes so I can run 13" slicks this year.

I beleive you need the knuckle from a GSR and that's it for the front brakes... I believe at least. As for the back brakes, I have no clue.

si hatches already have rear discs so there wouldnt be a point for the rear. As for the front, just get the whole knuckle assembly, it'll swap right over.

cliff notes at bottom:

not too much of a difference caliper wise i believe, that is if you are talking about the civic ex calipers for the 10.3" rotors (which are the same size as gsr rotors). the big difference is in price of some brake pads. axxis ultimates for the front of a gsr are around $63, while they are $93 for the civic ex. might be that the volume of sales for the civic ones are much less because there are probably a lot less civics with the 10.3" front brakes than gsr's. personally, i am still waiting for fastbrakes to finish the 11" two piece rotor and wilwood dynalite caliper set-up for the civics with 10.3" fronts. so far, he only has them for 9.5".

cliff notes: stick with the gsr calipers, cheaper pads...

What is the best brake setup I can run and still be able to fit 13" Lenzo drag wheels?

The lenzo wheels is designed to fit over stock gsr brakes. It will fit over the same sized brakes as a stock 14" wheel.
