06 Si Brake/Rotor Swap on Ep3?

[TommyEp3]

Hey everyone, was wondering if it is possible to swap a 2006 civic si brake's and rotors onto my ep3. It would also require me to go 5 lug (Which i planned on doing anyway). My main question is if they would fit. I can get all four for a good price due to someone wrecking (Unfortunate). Thanks

Yes.
The rotor and caliper are the same as the RSX S, while the calipers are the same between RSX S, S2K and FG(FA?) civic.
The S2K front rotor has a different offset, but the caliper can be used with the RSX S rotor. Which is what I currently run because I could not find any RSX's at any local salvage yards but the S2000 was plentiful.

Thanks im going to be picking up all 4 for around $200.

Just curious if anyone has tried any other brake setup? Like CRV, TSX, or any of the new SI's?

Loaded (with pads) RSX-S reconditioned calipers are available from Tirerack, btw. Very easy, relatively inexpensive, and fully functional with a guarantee too. No need to worry about any issues with used stuff.

Nice, but do i need the lower control arms to mount the RSX-s brakes?

Nein.
