I think the brakes are slightly bigger, not sure if the swap is worth it though. Better rotors and pads are prolly a more worth while investment. It's your choice. I own a 98 hb and I'm dying to do the 5 lug conv. Good luck

96 spec 4lug Type R brakes, which were only offered in Japan shares the exact same dimensions as 94+ non-Type R brakes, and 99-00 Si.

Given the fact, do it purely to be able to say, "I have ITR brakes!"

uh huh.

What's wrong with your 99 SI brake system? Get some good pads, fluid and stainless steel lines..

This doesn't mean they are the same. 99-00 Si brakes and non-ITR Integra brakes are different as well.

If you want a slight upgrade, put regular integra caliper brackets and calipers on the Si vs switching to 4x114.3, 36mm axle JDM ITR 4 lug parts.

Only 98 Spec 5 lug ITRs have 36mm axles.


Also if you do not drive on the road course, there is no need to upgrade your brakes.

Most times a good set of pads and good brake fluid is all you need on the track.
