Re: big brakes
 
how much can you get the aem kit for?

Do you AutoX or something? Unless that's the case I would say the money could be spend on something better than the AEM BBK. You'll have a little better stopping distance but that's the only street applicable advantage. The heat reduction issue is mostly for racing applications.

I upgraded my pads to AEM, got Xdrilled/slotted Brembo rotors and SS brake lines and it's good.

no autocross. just daily driven drag racer. I seen a AEM kit on ebay for $200, but I might look into a different company, one that replaces the original caliper with a dual or bigger piston.

---- the aem kit stay oem, cheaper and more reliable and also easier to get replacement parts.

i have da knuckles on my crx with re-drilled prelude vtec 11" rotors and nsx caliper(these have twin pistons) can't wait to see how they stop, i hear its one of the best oem brake upgrades available, you also use a 95 legend coupe caliper its the same as the nsx but it doesn't say nsx of course, you also will need the bracket from the nsx or type R 23T is the part number of the bracket also the same as the accord 95-96 wagon

I like this idea better, would to get some dual piston calipers. do you have a parts list and what car I can get them from?
I would have to lurk ebay to find them but I can start now. what if I use the complete control arm from the nsx, and just change hub to 4x100?

Re: big brakes
 
no you can't use any other part off the nsx only the caliper.
you need:

2- front nsx calipers, or legend 95 2dr coupe complete with mounting bracket
1- set of pads for nsx or type R
1- set of rotors from a 92-96 prelude vtec 11"(re-drill them to 4x100)

thats all you need IF you already have 10" brakes from a integra the nsx caliper and bracket will only bolt up to integra knuckles as far as i know

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

---- re-drilling. Corrodo vr6 rotors ftw.
