Default rear type r calipers

I got a set of rear type r calipers, can anyone tell me if it's just a straight swap.

Yes; the rear calipers are the same that come on GSR/LS/Si/SiR.

gsr/ls/sir rear calipers are the same.

ITR rear calipers are diffrent. you need the caliper bracket allong with the caliper to make them fit as well as a 10.2" rear rotor.

so the only thing that is different is the bracket correct? would a LS caliper fit on a ITR bracket? rather, is it identical?

the ls caliper may fit the bracket but then it wont contact the stock rotor properly. the bracket it spaced out furter to compensate for the larger rotor of the ITR.

what are you trying to do?

Your absolutely right, Non-VTEC!!

I'm terribly sorry OP; I completely forgot that ITR's set their own standards

The bracket is different, and the caliper will not mount up hubcentric to the disc. There is a custom bracket that i've heard people fab up to mount ITR brakes on 4 bolts.

I know that the Gen 5 (1993-1995) Civic Si's are interchangeable, as well as Del Sol's. Although i'm unsure about Gen 6.

actually the oem itr rear caliper bracket will bolt up to the DC's rear knuckle. you need to slightly bend the backing plate around the mounting holes since the itr caliper bracket is a little thicker.

you also need rear 10.2" 4x100mm rotors from a 2002 1.7el. they are the same overall diameter at the itr rear rotor but they are already drilled/made to 4x100mm so it all just bolts up.

plus you will need the rear brake pads as well. they have almost double the surface area at the stock integra tiny brake pad.

i did this swap to my car a few years back. everything bolts up and works fine.

good luck.

Thanks, the calipers are mounted and it needs some improvement. I'll get the rotors and see. Thank you all.
