I have a 97 Civic that i am puting a h22 into. I bought a 97 Prelude Type SH that is wrecked a little in the front, but motor and trans are fine. Obviously to use the motor for the swap. I was trying to swap the calipers from the Prelude to the Civic for the size difference, seeing that i will need more braking power. The dilema that i am having is i dont know what rotors to use, for the Civic having four lug and i want it to stay that way and what will be the same size as the stock Prelude rotors. Also will the calipers on the Civic clear the wheels. If anyone had any information on this brake swap it would be great. Thanks.

 

re-drill the prelude rotors to the same stud pattern as the EK,

then you might have to get a bracket machined to fit the calipers on the hubs...

but i havent done this - this is jsut what you would normally do to swap brakes across models...

you might need at least 14's or 15's to fit the brakes...

 

yea i though about that but it just doesnt sound to safe

i wanted to find another rotor from something else to work so ican just bolt it up

i heard something about GSR rotors are the same? anyone know?

 

anyone else have any information regarding this brake swap, please post it it would be of great help.

 

hey, im new to this sight and we are doing the same swap. i need to get my fuel and vacuum lines done but dont have a manual for j-spec h22a. do you know if i can refer to USDM version for the mock up?

 

this should help you out alot

gsr rotors are different from prelude rotors... itr and prelude use the same rotor.
