ALL: Dual-diagonal, power-assisted, 4-wheel disc brakes.

LS, GS-R: Acura-designed Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with 4 wheel-speed sensors and electronic/hydraulic control unit. Ventilated, 10.3 in (262 mm) diameter. Solid, 9.4 in (239 mm) diameter.

Type-R: Lightweight Acura-designed Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with 4 wheel-speed sensors and electronic/hydraulic control unit. Ventilated, 11.1 in (282 mm) diameter, 0.98 in (25 mm) rotor thickness.Solid 10.2 in (260 mm) diameter, 0.39 in (10 mm) rotor thickness.

"Like all Integra models, the Type R features 4-wheel disc brakes with ventilated rotors at the front and solid rotors at the rear. For maximum rigidity of the braking system and to provide a short pedal stroke, the front brake calipers are large, stout units that have a higher resistance to flexing and "spread" under severe braking conditions.

The Type R, with its larger brake discs (front: 262 mm >>> 282 mm; rear: 239 mm >>> 260 mm) and larger calipers, also uses a refined ABS system, which is 12.3 lbs lighter than the GS-R. This lightweight system functions with minimal pedal kickback during ABS operation in hard braking situations."
