Why do you want larger rotors?

No. That will not work at all. You have to swap the complete knuckles. Your best bet would be to find an EX in a local import salvage yard and just pull the knuckles, with brakes attached.

You will also need the 7/8" EX/Si master cylinder to maintain the stock pedal travel, and the proportioning valve from a non-ABS EX to maintain the stock brake proportioning. However, if you intend to swap rear disc brakes onto the car in the future, keep your stock hatchback proportioning valve, as it is the same as the '99-00 Civic Si valve (which your modified brake system will be emulating).
