The rotor's offset from the hub is different between the RSX and the S2k. Stock calipers will not swap. The only stock part that will swap is the pads. Who knows if the Brembo equipped RSX uses the same rotor.

IIRC when this came up before the answer is no, doesn't fit.

Which Brembo's are you talking about DC5 Brembo or DCRR Brembo.

The offsets on the Japanese Integra type R (RSX type R, had it come to the states) is different than the "plain, Jane" DC5.

Has anyone tried this or have an answer as to weather or not a DC5R caliper would fit on our cars?
And if so what would be required IE: Custom brackets or can they be ordered from Brembo.

Maybe becuz the Brembos are way better than stock brakes and he has a set lying around for RSX application.

I don't see how the brembo calipers could be much better, but to each their own.

Just a guess since I have never seen DC5R brembo's perform in person,
But they should be better because it is a 2 piston caliper which provides equal pressure over a larger surface area.
And they are fixed calipers which improves brake feel because the pads are closer to the rotor as well as it provides equal force against both sides of the rotor at the same time (not so on floating calipers).

All of that helps make a car brake quicker.
And the OEM S2000 brakes are really nothing special. Same thing as any other Honda brakes just sized to fit our car.
