Default del sol vtec and civic ex brakes.. the same?

need some quick clarification.. are Del Sol VTEC brakes the same as Civic EX Coupe brakes? are the front brakes on the Del Sol any larger than the Civic's?

delsol vtec brakes = civic EX ABS brakes = civic LX ABS brakes = DC integra brakes (RS,LS,GSR only)

in other words, if the civic has ABS, then it has the 10.3" rotors!

if there is anything i missed out on, someone pls. clarify

so if my EX doesnt have ABS, my brakes are smaller than the Del Sol VTEC's right?
hmm.. mines are probably 9.x inches then.

so Del Sol VTEC brakes would be a good upgrade for my civic?

going to the Teg LS/GSR front 10" brakes was way better than any pad I could find for the 9" setup.

you can tell by the caliper style:

9.x" brakes have no 'bar' across the caliper


10.3" brakes have the bar across the caliper

hmm.. my 93 Civic EX brakes without ABS has that 'bar' across the caliper. so does that mean i have 10.3" rotors in the front? it's weird because my car doesn't have ABS and i have drums in the back. do anyone know for sure?
