    Re: My suspention thread

    that would be awesome if we got some more support from aftermarket companys, i bet soo many people would have 3gz, but then again, it might become like another civic. : (

    2 main things I wanted with my setup was a better selection of aftermarket rotors/brake pads and better rotors for less warpage over the 10.3 we run. I think the Type R stuff has a better selection. super selction of pads ,frozen rotors, slotted rotors , holed rotors, thicker rotors, its sky the limit.

    this is true, but I am done with drilled and slotted rotors. If they ever warp you cannot have them resurfaced, so there goes all that money down the drain. As for the legend/type R thing, I will not have to shave anything or add anything to the hub brake bracket, becasue the legend is the exact same offset as the accord. Your brake setup is what got me started on looking for 11" rotors.

    Re: My suspention thread

    Nope you make some good points as well.

    I have had a set of slots turned. They came out well.

    The 4 mm spacers for the Type r caliper bracket Brian sells. He was susposed to send me a set but there weren't in the box so I made my own.there those yellow things in my pictures on that link. It was him that told me I needed 4 mm one way or the other he couldnt remember of hand and its what I had added up.

    I think you'll love the 11.0'(EDIT inches not feet : ) ) rotors. I havent had any problems with mine and even with the Axis ultimate pads I have no warp issues so far. The brake balance is good and pedal feel is the same since the bore the same .diameter.


    http://www.buybrakes.com/store/24X00923

    use this list for finding your calipers if you want to go the j/y route. You be able to go duel piston NSX's as well with little work.

    I believe they are not brembo, because the box is just white with no wrinting on it.

    I was looking into the NSX/Legend Calipers, but I dont like the fact that you have to mount them upsidedown. I think I am going to stick with the type R calipers and see how those work for me. I will post some pics when I have it assembled.

    P.S. 11 foot rotors woudl be sick, LOL

    I got my upper control arms, upper/lower ball joints, and tie rods in today thanks to cardoc33 and his website Trivallyclutch great prices and quick shipping. I also recieved my TT steal braided brake lines, but they sent me 84-87 civic 4 line kit when I ordered 89 SE-i 6 line kit . At least they are trading them out and paying for all the shipping.

    Re: My suspention thread

    I got the calipers in and they bolt to the hub perfectly. The offset is a little off, but all I need to do is shave down the bracket on the caliper. The pad and calipers cover all the surface of the rotor. This is going to be a bad ass brake setup and is basically bolt on. I also received my proper brake lines. I will post pictures when I get my camera back.

    Well the rotor is redrilled from an 89 Legend and the hubs are 89 LX-i hubs. Besides that, there are no bracket required bolts right up. I believe that a big brake kit from a 98 integra would bolt right up with a little offset issues, but those are easly fixed.

    Re: My suspention thread

    I'm excited to see this, sounds like a far superior setup to aftermarket stock sized brakes. I think the brakes on our cars are one of the weak points.

    Re: My suspention thread

    alright here are the picture. From what I can tell the rotor and calipers are offset perfectly. The only spot that is rubbing is on the inside of the caliper and edge of the rotor. Just a little sanding and that propblem will be fixed.

    If the bearing fits in the hub, I dont see why it would not work.
