So because Honda is famous for making little tweaks and changes to things on every new model year, I'm wondering if anyone has access to part numbers and can tell me if the brakes and rotors are the same for the '12, '13, and '14 Civic Si?
I read on another thread that someone thought that the '14 brakes looked beefier. Has Honda made changes to the brakes on the new Civic Si?
I still have my 16" steel wheels that I used for winter on my '12 so I hope they fit my '14.
 
Considering they went to 18" wheels, it is possible the brakes got an upgrade.
 
Chassis
For 2014 the Honda Civic LX Coupe and Si models receive upgraded suspension tuning to enhance steering response and roll feel. In 2013 the Civic lineup benefitted from substantial changes to enhance handling refinement and noise isolation. These included a reworked Electronic Power Steering (EPS), suspension spring changes and thicker stabilizer bars with new Teflon-lined mounting bushings. Other upgrades include larger diameter front brake rotors on some models for better stopping power, and a host of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) countermeasures to reduce road, engine and wind noise.

2014 coupe si rotors-
11.8" / 10.2"

they are listed as 11.8"/10.2" on the 2012/2013 si models.

Thanks @webby once again! SO it sounds like the Si is the same.
I guess the best way to double check is to flip one of my winter wheels on and make sure the rims clears.
