wait too much overpriced!

I was more looking into the Civic/Integra kit that we can use with our OEM caliper.

why not go with Legend Rotors and Type-Calipers
You just need to get the rotors redilled to 4 x 100, the calipers are a direct fit

AEM made the kit for the civic which i used to re-produce to fit the accord properly. I believe someone had one for sale recently that was one of the few i had made. If you get the AEM kit it will need a spacer setup and new mounting hardware.

yeah rob, I missed the sale Justin Did.

do you have more details on what you did as modification?

[RobT5580]

I had a machine shop basically duplicate the AEM bracket but make it thicker so there was a uniform solid surface. People have done spacers but i am not a big fan of that.

I even sold my set so i can't help you out but there probably were a half dozen sets produced that are out there. I will be looking at doing a upgrade in the future when i begin my next project.

do you remember how ticker it needed to be made?
I'd like to ask a local shop if I could.

yeah sorry legion I have robs old kit on my coupe and I just bought Justins old kit for the hatch. I thought you only produced 2 spacer kits rob? I was hoping that I had both of them. This means the search continues. Legion, the kits Rob had were like 450 for the front and rear seperately. The fastbrakes.com kit is the most complete bolt on kit available.

yes...i did the same swap pico did the same day...and once its broken in...its a way better stopping distance...i proved it today...90 to 20mph in around 1/4th mile....really fast....best upgrade for 300 bucks

[RobT5580]

I don't recall but there were more than two for sure. I never did anything with a rear kit but i think the modification was slight.

MyKwikcoupe: Do you think you could lend me those braket since they are not already put on the hatch?
I could ask a local shop to make a copy.

Or Could YOU look at a shop near you to reproduce all 4 for me?
