The test was on my '91 LX....as far as I know the CRX uses the same lines.

nice job man

xtrafastcivic

if someone else is to do this.. can you post pictures of all parts used and not installed that would be great for everyone else....

ok i want it because it would make my life easier .. :D

and roughly how much did this whole setup cost...

everything he said...

jadugartir

so im sure you could find some badass aftermarket rotors drilled and slotted and use those too, if they are ITR/Legend ones?

I wish i knew how to go from rear drum to put these in the rear too.

If i can figure out how, im gonna do a 4 wheel conversion to this setup... what else will i need?

Jonathan_ED3

Stop now dude! You're going to confuse everybody.

You do NOT use Legend/ITR rotors.

You use 91 EX rotors (same as 92-95 Civic Sedan) and ITR (17CL15VN calipers) with a 25T mounting bracket.

For the rear all you need is the regular disc brake convesion...no need for big breaks in the rear.

xtrafastcivic

where did you buy that caliper mount?

GSRCRXsi

is the 25T mounting bracket the same as the ITR one?

Dan GSR

how is the pad to rotor contact?

do any of the pad hang off the edge of the rotor


good job

GSRCRXsi

and if you dont know if they are the same i can find out. just measure the distance between the two holes where it mounts to the knuckles (will be the same distance as on the crx knuckles) try and measure from center to center if you can. if you cant be sure to let me know what points of the hole you used as a reference. let me know those measurements if you can.

he already answered this. scroll up, lol. full pad/rotor contact

Jonathan_ED3

Pad contact area is absolutely perfect. No overhang or off-edge.

I got my calipers and mounts from the junkyard off a '94 Accord Wagon.

The 25T and the 23T use the exact same mounting position (hole distance), GSRCRXsi....the only difference is the way it's offset and the depth between the two edges. One of them accepts a thicker rotor...I don't remember which one is which though.
But they both bolt on.

Both of them will work, I'm sure....depending on which one is which, you may not even need to grind anything off of the 23T.

I don't know what came on the ITR..I've never even seen an ITR hub up close.

If I remember correctly from my last trip to the junkyard, the Legend uses a 23T....if anyone has a 23T laying around, try it out!

Dan GSR

nicely done

i'll be doing 11" with ex knuckles on my buddies EF, soon

GSRCRXsi

so john you dont know if the 25t is the same as the itr one or not?

Jonathan_ED3

I have absolutely no clue! Like I said, I've never seen an ITR.

Although, I guess there's another bracket out there. 28T...which comes from (at least) the 95-97 Accord V6. I believe this is probably the same bracket used by the ITR and the Prelude VTEC.

And new info regarding the 23T bracket...the more I research, the more it appears that this may be the perfect bracket; there may not be any milling/spacers needed if you use this bracket.

Also, from what I can gather (so far) the 23T comes from the NSX caliper...which means it's probably also used with the large(r) Legend calipers.

Which means that the ITR PROBABLY uses a 23T or a 25T. Read above concerning this mounts!

Jonathan_ED3

Certainties:

23T- Used with the Prelude VTEC, 1st generation Acura Legend, 95-98 Honda Odyssey, ITR

28T- Used with Accord V6, NSX

25T- Used with older Accord Wagon. This is what the write-up is based around.

The only real difference is the offset.

Somebody try the 23T and 28T brackes...maybe one of them is absolutely perfect and requires no spacer/grinding!

GSRCRXsi

hmm interesting, im planning on buying the calipers i posted the pics of once the seller gets back to me, they are the ITR ones and they are already milled. hmmm we'll see.

Chase

Ok so to try the 23T, i go to napa and ask for loaded caliper kit for 92-01 Prelude Vtec..which includes pads, caliper, caliper bracket. Then i get the 90-91 Civic EX front rotors. Sound good??

Chronicsinners

did any1 get a price on what it cost for the 90-93 accord caliper/bracket combo?

Yes....but to be safe (and make it easier on the salesperson) just ask for 94 Prelude VTEC loaded calipers.

I think it was only made from 92-94.

If you are buying the calipers from that guy, have him measure the thickness of the caliper mounting area (the area that he shaved off). and also the thickness of the rotor cut out.

25T bracket:

Thickness of the caliper mounting area is ~15mm



Thickness of the rotor cut out is ~29mm



Beyond that, all distances should be the same....all brackets use the same mounting holes and the distance between the mounting holes and the placement of the caliper should be the same, as they all mount on an 11.1" rotor.

damn now that is a tool i need thanks for the pics, they will be helpful in explaining the measurements i need.
