As someone in the same boat, I can confidently say yes. In my research, the EK9 and DC2 front rotors are both 282mm x 23mm (some suppliers show 281.6, this is OK) and the rears show 260.0mm x 9mm, on almost all parts. Similarly the calipers are also the same.
I've been searching USA parts website using a 1998 Integra Type-R as my 'car'. Easy to find rotors, easy to find pads... front rebuilt calipers also pretty easy... the trick seems to be rebuilt rear calipers. Not sure why the difference - maybe they weren't used on as many USDM cars as the front brakes?
I'm also debating - I hate rust on the collar / hub of brake rotors, and I prefer painted rotors, but the Brembo's I'd like to get (from Summit racing - BBO-08-5803-81 front and BBO-09-6893-11 rear) are just "UV" coated. I know this is probably OEM spec or better... but man I wish Brembo made an OEM spec rotor with a coated black hub / collar
Yeah, I'm picky. I've got some "Centric premium brake rotors" in my cart at carid, they have the black center collars / hats, front and rear. I wonder... I do want me some OEM quality **** in the brembos.... are aftermarket brakes ****? Would I be better off getting the brembos and painting / coating the collar / hub in a black heat resistant paint? Or just suck it up and deal with the rust...?
