Ok just a question about this. i have 00ls and my rear rotors have deep scars in them, so i decided to change rear rotors and pads at the same time. but when i went to advance auto parts to get rotors/pads. the guy who works there, said "why dont you just get the Type R rear rotors, they are 5 dolars more"

Would Type R replacement rotors fit on a LS? or is ITR a 5 lug car? the rotors are made by weavever and weavever gold pads

 

What I know is type r is 5 lugs. If I'm right then that guy is an idiot. Correct me if i'm wrong.
But I think I'm right and he is an idiot.

that guy is an idiot.. if you want 5 lug you will have to get the conversion kit.

 

Won't fit. They are bigger and 5 lug.

 

No, ITR is 5 lug.

 

The ITR caliper bracket and rotor bolt patterns are not compatible with the non-ITR trailing arms.

The caliper brackets have a narrower bolt spacing. The rotors...obvious, but you can always have them redrilled.

 

isnt the 96 and i think they made a 97 itr 4 lug ?

 

Those are still the wrong wheel bolt pattern, and the calipers/rotors are probably the same anyways.

 

thanks. i told that guy there would be no way you could put itr rotors on. so i ordered regular LS ones

 

That guy who told to you to buy the rear ITR brake rotor and pads is total nut.

 

how obviously unadvanced the guys are at advance auto parts

 

The guys at Advance are retarded! (that's why they work there)

Be careful of the Wearever Golds! I got a pair from Advance for a '97 Civic EX. Well the pads are too thick for the caliper and ripped the rubber boot on the piston.

Calipers will set you back about $200 (before the core return) and it's not worth f*cking them up.

They MAY fit on the Integra - I'm not 100% - as my experience was with a Civic. Also my experience was with the front discs which are thicker b/c they are vented - the rears aren't - but just be sure.

u got that rite. i havent gotten them out of the box yet. so they are still sealed. you think i should take them back and get like bendix rotors?

 

if you want bigger rotors, you should try the fastbrake rear 11" kit, but i recommend doing the front first.

 

Before you take them back go ahead and put Wearever Gold's in the caliper housing and see if the top of the caliper will slide EASILY over the new pads. If not take them back - before you do any possible damage to the caliper/piston boot. Don't worry you can return them after you take them outta the box, if need be.

In my case - I tore the boots on both calipers on the Civic EX I was working on.

I had to special order new calipers (took a few days). When I picked them up I showed the manager what happened. I put his Wearever Gold's in the new caliper - on his counter top - and showed him that the rotor & pads don't fit. I even showed him a print out from the online Advance catalog - and the parts they gave me weren't even listed as an option for my car! Basically I said that no one was at fault b/c the part number comes up on their computer - but I shouldn't have to PAY for my broken calipers b/c of his computer. He agreed.

This would have been a HUGE pain in the *** if this was my only mode of transportation.

He also told me that some of their brake suppliers have discontinued certain pads & part numbers so he expects more of these f*ck ups in the future.

But I hope I don't scare you from doing your brakes. I have been doing them for years and NEVER had this kind of problem - but when you said you got Wearever Gold's - I thought I'd let you know my experience with them.
