The rotors on the 06 Si are the same as the following:

Now I just got to verify that the pad size is the same. I would hope it is, but need to find part numbers first to verify. :)
You sure the front rotors are the same? I know the calipers are the same, but I didn't think the front rotors were. I know though, that the rears are the same as the 'Ludes.

The pads are the same size as the S2000, not the RSX. I'd say if you're going to swap brakes, wouldn't it make more sense to swap them from a USDM Civic Si instead of a JDM Civic (or try to go Mugen, for that matter)? The Si's brakes are perfect for the street/strip, especially when combined with upgraded pads. Plus, you'd still be using OEM parts.

You'll also want the Si's larger wheel bearings, as well.
