what gsr

stoptech lines. modulation is much better with dpha/dtc-60 then the gsr/dtc-60 setup.

I run my EK with ITR and Stoptech street pads on the track. Now that I use the brakes less they work for me fine. My car is too light and no ABS makes modulation upmost important. Changing pads was the biggest feeling difference in braking IMO.

any of you guys know if ITR calipers will mount right to my 94 rs stock set up

HondaRcB

You'll need different rotors. ITR calipers and Mini Cooper rotors are pretty common. Believe my rotors for for a 2006 Mini non-S.

Honda Type R

In regards to the locking up issues some of you had. Wouldn't a 15/16" MC have helped over the 1"?

Those of you with DPHA's, how's wheel fitment?

Jpres927

They clear my 15x8 +35 Enkei PF01's just fine. I also have had a couple customers with 15x7+35 Enkei RPF1's and they clear with no spacer needed, the 15x7 +41 RPF1's will NOT clear this caliper.

I use the 949racing 15x8" wheel. I don't know the offset.

Jpres927

I believe those are +36. You should be able to clear the DPHA caliper.

Miamirice, do you have anymore feedback on these brakes?

miamirice

Actually.....I took the car for a pre-race shake down yesterday at PBIR. It has a long straight and is a track that's hard on brakes. Temperatures were very hot, the brakes were performing very nicely, at about 25min I noticed the car pulled a few times when I was hauling it down from 125ish to 50ish, however a few minutes later I had smoke so I came in and my NEW Axles had grease spatter everywhere. The grease was smoking on the hubs,rotors, calipers. So I am convinced my "pulling" was not the brakes but the grease on the brakes. I have 4 sprint races next weekend and will report on performance and pad life. At this point I prefer the engagement feel over the ITR but wonder how they will do with prolonged sessions when hot. I plan to cooling duct them after this next race weekend.

Honda Type R

That blows about the grease. Did it get on the pads? I'm definitely looking forward to more feedback!

I've got a new axle on my car that has a torn boot and binds on hairpin turns. I need to replace it but I'm lazy lol

miamirice... what booster were you running on the ITR setup ?

I am about to put back my ITR setup, but the wilwood setup sounds attractive.


Why are people running the smaller mini rotor combo with the 17c calipers... are 11.1 rotor blanks hard to find ?

Honda Type R

The Mini rotor has the right offset to be used with ITR calipers without needing to mill down the brackets. It also doesn't need to be redrilled since the Mini is 4x100. It's only 2mm smaller in diameter and 1mm thinner. If your brackets are already milled to use the Prelude rotor then it doesn't apply to you

miamirice

I was running the 1" that is correct to the ITR calipers. While in theory you could use a 15/16 you certainly will loose pedal height and that's no good for heel / toe.

X2BOARD

Oh, ok... I'm switching back from 4/114 to 5/114 and oem itr rotors. I see the value in the mini swap for 4/100 then... thanks Honda Type R.

miamirice, im going to use a 15/16 initially but hope to find an actual 1" booster, but with the dhcp, are you using the 1" booster still ?

miamirice

Roger that. 1" MC. This require a diff booster than the 15/16 booster.

To update this, you can use 04-08 TSX brake pads and they will fit perfectly with no overhang with the mini cooper setup.

So ITR calipers, TSX pads, mini cooper 280mm rotors

ITR=NSX=TSX all run the same pad, with that ITR caliper.

Honda Type R

I beg to differ. They are similar but not the same

Anybody know hawks part# for these calipers?? (wilwood)

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

Just so that there wasn't any ambiguity here, please note that I didn't say anything about using the mini Rotors. I'm specifically looking at caliper/pad combination. Not taking a mini-rotor into account.

I currently have NSX calipers on my GS-R, have ITR calipers on my EM1, and OWN a 04-08 TSX. That combination is very interchangeable. Just perhaps not with a mini-rotor.

ReDemoN

I looked it up, seems Hawk do not make pads for this caliper

Honda Type R

You said the TSX, NSX, and ITR all used the same pad. I was just showing you that the TSX does not use the same exact pad although it is very similar. I wasn't meaning in reference to the Mini rotor setup, just that they are different.

miamirice

I have been using the Wilwood Polymatrix B. So far they are lasting but look to be hard on rotors.

Honda Type R

At least rotors are cheap for the 10.3!
