Brakes on the DC2 ITR were 11"F and 10" rear for the entire production run and could run 15" rims. The regular DC2's had 10.2" f and ~9.5" rear rotors.
The only variation in brakes for the DC2 ITR's was the 96 JDM ITR which was a 4x114.3 bolt pattern (I "think" they were also 11" front rotors ...but could have been 10.2") ... and that changed to 5x114.3 bolt pattern for 97 on.
---------------------
Brake Fade is more a function of the Brake pads and fluid than the rotor / caliper. I would start with a good set of pads and fluid first ... it is way cheaper ... and IF that does not work out for you ... then look at a quaility BBK ... Keep in mind that not only do you have to pay for a BBK, but also potentially for more rims / tires that will clear the calipers.
If you are heavy into lapping then a dedicated set of rotors and good race pads is the way to go ... this way you have a streetable setup, and a setup that is good for the track.
It is dead easy to swap rotors and pads at the track ... 1/2 hour and you are done. I used to do it all the time.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, i was referring to the JDM DC2 previously. But Im pretty sure that the 98 model had an increase in brake size. In any case, I might just start with some pads and fluid first and see how that works. Just waiting for them to finally open the road course here. Thanks again.
