big brakes
 

are they worth the effort and money? AEM for example, it uses your factor caliper and pads, only bigger rotor, does it make any sense to get it for better braking?

Re: big brakes
 

if you have 10" rotor front hub then you can use an itr caliper with a redrilled 11inch rotor
if you have a 9" rotor front hub then you can use an itr caliper with a stock 10" rotor.

personally i dont see a point in going bigger than 11"

You may need a center ring also.

Re: big brakes
 

yeah but is AEM worth the money. or effort, to get ITR parts would be more expensive than getting AEM, I have stock 10" rotors

93 h22 Prelude Rotors, Re-Drilled,
93 Accord Wagon Calipers.

Instant type-r brakes for junkyard/bottem barrel pricing.

Re: big brakes
 

this sounds more feasable, what do you mean by redrilling? arent the bolt patterns all 4x100? will the accord calipers bolt up to a civic hub assembly?
I've done the rear disk conversion stuff with Itr+booster ms and gsr brakes+ steel braided lines+plus cross drilled rotors etc. but I still need to step my braking game. its really hard to stop after a 1/4 mile pass. maybe I need a parachute ;D ha ha

Re: big brakes
 

The prelude rotors are 4x114
Caliper bolt right on.

Let see if I can find the link:

this is a lot of work, I might just save some money and buy a brake upgrade kit with dual pistons and ----

Re: big brakes
 

what year is your car and which knuckle are you using?? (i remember you mention something about a knuckle swap before)

Re: big brakes
 

my car 95 civic ex coupe. original knuckle, I ran the hatchback knuckle temperary because the studs where stripped in the original ones, I replaced them now I am using them. rear I have Gsr rear disk assembly.

its very hard and expensive to find anything here, so all the options I got are more expensive than just buying a upgrade kit. this place sucks!
