Unless you have the SIR you have the 240mm brakes. They 262mm are only on the SIRs with the B16a motors.

Nice, good info. So our Eg's have the stock 240mm disc brakes? Sweet! I'm getting some drilled discs. :hehe:

Drilled discs really arent that great. They are more prone to cracking than the slotted. I would suggest if you just do street, or ever street with some track driving to just get the slotted.

Here our Esi model sometimes has 262mm front brakes and rear discs aswell, was only the models with ABS though. Non-abs Esi's are 240mm. An esi has a 1.6 sohc vtec

Im pretty sure the Vei is 240mm aswell, the last one i saw was anyway. If you have ABS though you might have the bigger brakes, cant remember if ABS was an option on the Vei or not :?
