Re: Post up pictures of your BIG BRAKE KIT!!!!
Just got off the phone with a wilwood about their 140-8695 kit.
Ive been eye-ing their 11" dynalite kit for the EK but was unsure if it would clear my 15" +42 Buddy Club P1 SF. They said perhaps with a 3mm spacer which is also what I was told by fastbrakes. However I am not sure if the top spokes would clear the top part of the caliper considering they curve in.
Stinkycheezmonky had the exact same setup on his EG. Is the knuckle geometry identical on EK and EG? Does it necessarily mean that since he was able to clear his wheel with the wilwood caliper mean that it would work on my EK?
Anybody with an EK with the same wheel and kit confirm?

Re: Post up pictures of your BIG BRAKE KIT!!!!
could you guys please give me some ideas for a good kit........but... i want to keep my 16" wheels.
i had spoon twinblocks last season they didnt work well enough for me. spoon monoblocks are an option but id like to hear if you guys have any other great ideas.
thanks in advance!

I heard Alcon stole their designs from Brembo and use people on websites to market their products. 
Just kidding... I bet the Alcons feel amazing. That's a lot of brake for a Civic though.

They feel great Brandon because race parts. No issues or concerns as of yet but I've only put about 300-350 miles on them.
agreed mike; tires not civic lol. I just wanted to post silver ces and sdrives with both setups for some reason.
those 225/50s don't work on the car anyway; they stick out a lot. When i originally mocked everything up with stock rotor, it seemed as if my 16x8 +42 mf10s wouldn't clear so while waiting for 3mm spacers, I threw the 16x8 +35 ces on.
I was wrong lol. ~1mm clearance
MBN 92eg6!!
