The wilwood calipers I have on my BMW accommodate rotors from 11" to 13". i realize that, but most people try to fit the biggest rotor they can so that way they can get the best performance out of them, hence why i said not on an 11" rotor that its intended for and the only rotor ive seen people use btw i dont frequent the ef forum, but what i do remember is that you can basically bolt up the ef 4door ex hubs right to the crx and have better braking for \<$150 ---

I don’t need a pussy set of cheap brakes, I don’t need 11" drilled and slotted rotors for autocrossing. I needed a brake setup that could be amply durable for brake boosting, and stopping from high speeds once in a while. I could have spent $150 on brakes, but then I’d have $150 brakes that suck. Sure, the EX swap is better than stock but my car runs 440hp at the wheels on pump, this car needs all the brakes it can get. ---
