AEM brake upgrade pics.

[guaynabo89]

I installed front and rear aem brake kits on my car a couple of months ago and I finally managed to take some crappy pics.

Here is the front before:



and here is the front after:



Here is the rear before:



and here it is after:

Kewl. What did u use for the back?

[guaynabo89]

I had to modify to aem braket a little and i had to modify the hub a little bit to.

I'm working on getting pics so I can do a how to.

It only cost and extra 30 dollars in machining the aem bracket.

Kewl...Have u driven the car yet? how does it feel? Makes a Big diffrence, I wonder If ppl will notice the size diffrence if u don't tell them.. They look Good!

[guaynabo89]

I have driven the car and feel an improvement. It could be just me but I think you can feel that it does give the caliper more leverage for better stopping.

As far as noticing, I think its very noticable. The stock rotors looked extremely puny behind the wheels.

With both the front and rear kits it fills up the space nicely. Like it was meant to be that way.

so this bracket kit makes the aem rotors a perfect fit

No

You modify the bracket that comes with the kit. You don't have to buy or make a different bracket.

Looks good man can't wait to see the how to.

badass man,that makes the car look so much more serious,I will have to look into doing that myself...what did the kit cost you?

[SiR]

Finally got pics of them! Arent you still selling them? Im not buying them though, I just remember what you told me.

[RobT5580]

Yeah i said the same thing when i did my fronts. I did make a whole new front bracket because i didnt like the idea of a spacer in the front. I want to do the rears some time but now im working on my B20A turbo so that can wait. Glad to see others doing the swap and not waisting money on the regular cross drilled setups which have never been more than just looks for me.

hey, where did u get the slotter rotors for the back before the aem upgrade kit?
please tell me.. lol

[guaynabo89]

The kits run about 400-450 each . Might want to check with oldschool he gave me a pretty good price quote.

No man I was selling you the stock rotors remember


As far as the stock replacements they were brembo. The stock sized rotors don't really improve stopping power but they do stay cooler for longer than just normal rotors.

Hey Guanabo.. curious since u have been working on those brakes and brackets.. do u think it could be possible to use some Aftermarket calipers for another Honda car and modify them to our cars?

[guaynabo89]

for the front yes. just like the aem bracket you would have to space it out a little but yes. The thing is four and six pot calipers bolt on from the outside in not through the side. so you would have to get diffrent brackets all together. I was going to go that route but decided on front and rear kits to give it a more balanced look.

Any big caliper kit for the early civics and tegs should bolt on just like the aem relocation kit.(with spacers)

I think you can also upgrade to bigger calipers like say a 2000 Accord. My wifes Accord has larger piston rear calipers that fit the bolt pattern that comes with the rear kit, but the ebrake cable is attached on the bottom of the caliper compared to the sei's top.


I've been looking into upgrading the front to dual piston or maybe four piston calipers if extra money comes up.

Well Sounds Goods.. If u come up with anything let me know. Maybe we can split the cost or something..It would very nice with bigger calipers and the braking would be even better!
