Yeah, but isn't that because all 5th gens have 9.5 inch front brakes? So you're glad you just don't have the upgraded brakes up front.

Yeah I think they're all the same but aren't SI discs a bit bigger? I've read they'll still clear regardless though.

That girl is Nichole from Camwithher. HXs are lighter than Si's.

its not the disc size thats the problem.

the calipers are bigger, its not because the rim diameter is too small, its becuase of the face style of the hx rims, its too shallow so the caliper hits the spokes. no big deal, grind the caliper for a minute and it will fit just fine.

i have HX's on my coupe.

You can use any, but it's suggested that you use OEM due to different seat angles on aftermarket nuts. I had no problem with aftermarket ones on my HX's but I'm not a hardcore speed racer. I daily drive.

i'm all about the hx's.



these are mine gold with polished lip. i love em. with the right tires, they don't look like 14's, or so i've been told. i personally don't mind how small they are because they're really light. i think si's look great polished but i'm not a fan of them with the stock finish.

I just bought a set of polished and painted HXs about... four hours ago for my EK(: I'm super stoked to put them on.

HXs FTW.
