4x114.3 Brake Upgrade Options?

[Alpha_Onion]

I'm just testing the water for brake upgrades on my 4-lug. I read the sticky on this, but almost all the options listed in that thread are 5-lug. Does anyone have any good suggestions for a cheap OEM upgrade to a 4-lug setup? I refuse to buy a 5x114.3 adapter or all new wheels, so that's out of the question.

You can drill rotors...

The car is actually 4-lug...

same car, later...

Brake rotors are 5-lug (300zx) drilled to 4, then (in top pic) have 4-5-lug adapters. Important part, use an old rotor to line up holes, just keep one original hole (it's at the right distance) to keep everything lined up.

I thought that was just a caliper upgrade. Is that rotors too?

Also, it looks like one that the list missed is the Acura CL V6. That's a 4-lug and it's compatible with our cars. The only question I have is, whats the difference between a CL V6 rotor and a 4th gen Prelude VTEC rotor? They're the same diameter but have different part numbers.

CL rotor: 45251-S84-G00
Prelude rotor: 45251-S0A-000

I'd investigate:
thickness
width

go to a parts store, they should have both, look, buy...

It's worth the price change to have the parts in your hand.

And slots/holes are worthless on current pads, only for style...

I have Prelude rotors and Integra tr calipers, stock rear disks, and parts store generic ceramic pads. I love it. Cheap upgrade, and stops like a slammed door.

So I have someone offering me a kit that contains Legend GS calipers, and rotors from a 95 Accord V6. He only has parts for the front though. My questions are:
- Are the 95 V6 rotors a significant size difference?
- Will this whole setup be a direct bolt-on, or do I need an adapter?
- Is it worth trying to do the rears also, or is just a front upgrade adequate?
