yes and no.
if you re-drill the front discs to 4x114 then they will fit but i beleive the inner hub hole needs open ever-so-slightly (file job)
i believe the calipers will also fit

if you have a 5 stud yea they will fit, but you might need brackets for the callipers as they are larger

ep3 carriers, tbh if your after a cheap 300mm setup better going for the 300mm off the accord type-s as you can then use the accord discs.

Mine are fitted to a 4th you just need to re drill the disc. The calipers bolt straight on.
I imagine the brakes are identical on the 5th bar it being 5 stud so should bolt straight on.
Ep3 calipers are actually a lot smaller and lighter than the 4ths again if 5th are the same then the ep will be smaller and lighter.
It's a good setup.

nothing wrong with having a professional engineering company re-drill a set of brake discs...as long as there is sufficient material.
