yes they do, but you have to shave off about 2 mm of the bracket in order for the calipers to clear to rotors. I think a lot of people have done this to their cars. In fact, fastbrakes sells a kit for this as well. Oh yah also the v6 calipers are similiar to the itr calipers, as well as the accord wagon caliper and vtec prelude calipers.

heres a link that should start you off.

will braking balance be upset by just replacing the front rotors.

i think you should have the prelude vtec rotors redrilled to fit your car. The 5 lug pattern of the itr will be a problem since ur car is the 4 lug pattern. The prelude rotor is basically the same size as an itr rotor after all.

and no your brake balance wont be changed since most of the braking is done up front. But people tend to upgrade the rear rotor as well to a larger one (itr spec) just for the heck of it.

Very big improvement on the track.

I have done this a little over a year ago and my bro just put the ITR calipers on his 94 civic hb. He had to change over to 3g teg/5g Civic EX steering knuckles and we also upgraded the mc and booster assembly to 1".

You won't have to worry about any of these except modifying the calipers. I took them to a machine shop and had them grind the mounting points down to .480" (total thickness) and its perfect. If your not sure about what to do on the calipers just buy them from fastbrakes.com. For the rotors you can get them from fastbrakes or my recomendation is to get them from raceconcepts.net. Woody hooked up my brother with a set of prelude VTEC brembo rotors (4x114) slotted, redrilled to 4x100 and zinc washed for @$130. They're local to me in OC but they ship as well.

My first set of the bigger rotors were from fastbrakes and they were slotted. I was pretty dissapointed when I recieved them because the slotting looked like 2 parallel lines crossing the edges of the disc if you can imagine that. I know its not really about the looks but they looked stupid and weren't all that cheap. After seeing my brothers rotors and the quality on them (real radial slotting!) I am definitely getting my replacement rotors from raceconcepts.net.

Yes they looked kinda like that except it looks like someone ran a saw all the way across the entire width of the rotors instead of stopping at the hub. They warped in less time than my old smaller stock rotors and I raced about the same amount on both.

Unlike most people, I'm not one who worships the overpriced, overhyped products Spoon or Mugen put out or the products that imitate them. We haven't put that much time on these new rims but from what I can tell, the quality of the new rotors from raceconcepts.net is top notch.

edit: I guess the spoon rotors aren't really that overpriced so I take back that part...
