Front Break Upgrade - 28Xmm break rotors I would only like to upgrade my front break rotor to a 28Xmm one ( Original is 26X mm !?)
Any other things I have to change?!
would the original break cap. still fit with the large rotors!?

???? any particular reaon why you want that large of a rotor?
There are several companys that make Big break kits and to my knolage only the AEM kit reuses the stock calipers (Though I dont Know why you would want to keep the Stock Calipers if you are trying to upgrade your breaking power).
check out Willwood or Brembo I thingk they make kits for our cars and I'd trust them with my breaks a lot more then I'd trust AEM.

Rep Power: 405 i think the best and cheapest is wilwood. you can find them for about 600 bucks and it includes the 4 pot caliper, 12.1 inch disc and adapter.
our stock is like 10.25 inches
or you can do what i did, and add rear disc brakes to your car, which will help tremendously in the brakeing area, the si brakes are a direct swap to our brakes, in this you need the knuckle, disc, caliper, and rear si brake lines.
drivetofast sells this as a set brand new for 550. not sure about the shipping because all this stuff is pretty heavy, that is the cheapest i have seen for something new. he works for honda. or you can get them off of a si from some one who did a 5 lug conversion.

Rep Power: 0 My girlfriends dad is building a race camero that's gonna have 13.2 inch front rotors... Bremo probably makes the best brakes, but for the full kit it'll be like 3 grand.

and I don't think it needs a 2/4 pots break cap. to stop my car.
So anyone knows that could I just upgrade a bigger rotor (28x mm) without changing the break cap.
p.s. In hong kong, most drivers like to upgrade their Civic with 28x mm rotor and CRV break cap. (1715)
