You really shouldn't need anything larger than that in an ED chassis unless you're doing some major autocross type of driving. Then I could see wanting 11" brake setup. Check out www.fastbrakes.com if you want an 11" rotor setup on the cheap. They make an adapter that uses a 11" VW corrado rotor and a DA integra caliper and mount bracket that bolts on to your stock ED spindles.
im pretty sure there kits use a redrilled Prelude rotor, i really dont see how the ---- your gonna get a Corrado rotor to work with honda calipers... im 99% sure there are kits to use the Corrado rotors, not doubting that, its just that they use Willwood calipers in those kits...

Did you car come with 240 or 262mm rotors? 240mm rotor cars can use the 262mm car calipers with the 280mm rotors from the Corrado and our adapter kit.



If the car came with 262mm rotors then you have to use the ITR calipers with our 282mm rotors.
that's reply fastbrakes.com did give me. ----, i wanna use ur ITR calipers turboHF

It has to do with the way the adapters mount to the spindle to space the caliper out a bit. I personally have seen 2 cars locally running this setup, and they say it works flawlessly. I've even checked out corrado rotors...it will work, and the lug pattern is exactly the same. Older VW 4 lug is the same as Honda civic style 4-lug.

The lug spacing isn't a problem with rotors, it's the backspacing of the rotor itself. I think you're best bet (seeing that you're already going to swap that b16 of yours in anyway ) is maybe try and track down some edm SiR front spindles and the matching master cylinder. Granted they're not an 11" rotor, but it's still a 10" and the 10" rotors on my ED6 stops beautifully.

Yeah, those powersluts are corrado rotors and the brackets space the DA caliper out to match up. Just don't forget the 15/16's master cylinder to go with it.

No, you can't use the 92-95 kit...only the 88-91. Powerslot offers the rotors as well on the fastbrakes website for the 11" corrado rotor upgrade...that's what I thought the pictures were of.
