Our investigation said no Too many changes in axle.
THe A&J conversion works well as we have shown in 8000 miles including track time. Check other posts for picture.

That Is Funnnnnny! Make them Pioneer Plasma's.
I did a car show in Brooklyn today and that looks like at least a thousand people that I saw today.
Attendance was probably three thousand. That's why I see that ringing in my freakin head.

i c, i figure it would of been cheaper of getting the ep3 instead of paying mad money for the t1r even though they are good...

The spindle base is machined new. The other parts, such as discs, calipers and pads, are from other Honda models, and the cables could be fabricated. You will spend far more time tracking them down than is worth,
We installed a rear disc set from Asia jazz on a US Fit but the cost to buy & modify was more than A&J's.
If you go to their website you can see the total parts laid out.

It includes all new stainless steel brake lines (front and rear)
Acura Inegra (DC2) rear calipers
JDM e-brake cables

worth it!

so....where is the proof that the guy who designed the ep3 did the fit too?

because if this is the case he should be slapped (commended?) for making the si slower through the slalom than our fits and numb steering.

I loved the steering on my EP3. I miss that car. Granted my GD3 handles better than my EP3 - I still wouldn't call it numb at all.
