Hey everyone, me again... So i was lucky enough to get Type-R clappers to upgrade shitty braking.. Well enuff chit chat, heres pics...

new jackstands...lol, R-clappers and KVR discs

my painted Integra Typer R clappers, tried to stay away from red but i think i will redo them.....

Thermo paint...from what i gather it changes color with amount of heat and you can decide whether or not ur pad compound is too aggressive or not....better explanation later..

Mock up....sexyyyy...

11.2mm KVR discs with new "J" slots, not as aggressive on pads like regular slotted rotors and will not crack like cross-drilled.....vs. to heavy ass 12 mm AEM rotors (might sell them)

might as well clean and regrease the sliders...

Werkin' away.....

JDM flip flops for ultimate toe protection..

pops in on the action...

comparo....oem vs. new setup...

no pics of after yet.....but ive eaten my steering wheel a couple of times and i love itttt!!

Major props going out to Telly for the clappers, and to my boy Chris from Stagefourmotorsports for the discs!!!!

damn man, VERY nice looking brakes. I love em.

Boilermaker1 · 09-28-2006, 05:24 PM

Looks like you forgot to grind the mounting brackets.

5hifty_ES1 · 09-28-2006, 06:11 PM

Hey boilermaker, actually i didnt forget, i did grind them but i guess you cant see them since i painted them after...or else i wouldnt be able to mount them.

fventura03 · 09-28-2006, 06:59 PM

dc2r calipers fit? wow...

WorldsSlowestEm2 · 09-28-2006, 07:07 PM

are those dc5-r or dc2-r calipers??? And they fit with your 4-lug???

K20me · 09-28-2006, 07:17 PM

They will fit on there, the rotor won't turn.
Hard to tell with the paint I guess, and because I'm not sure which side of the bracket I'm looking at with it all disassembled, its been almost a year since I did it, so the details of what I did are getting fuzzy. I do remember that you'll end up cutting the backing plates off. The rotors are a bit more offset than the stock ones, and they'll rub the backing plate behind the hub, its so close to where its bolted into the spindle I never could get it to bend back and stay, so I just hacked it off.

Whether or not thats true, I'm not sure, but I did it last fall.... its a fantastic cheap upgrade.

Earthworm Jim · 09-29-2006, 02:25 PM

very, very nice, I like it, never seen it before

toyomatt84 · 09-29-2006, 03:43 PM

Nice, clean install there.

fventura03 · 09-30-2006, 07:38 AM

very nice. heard about it, just wasn't sure. which rotors did you guys use?

Boilermaker1 · 09-30-2006, 07:55 AM

Prelude rotors, redrilled. Fastbrakes sells em.

hondaluver · 09-30-2006, 02:08 PM

nice... don't you mean 11.2 inches and 12 inches instead of mm

by redrilled you mean, drill for 4x100? from 4x114.3?

edit: nm, i saw telly's post on 7thgencivic. for future reference, you need a 93ish (4x114.3) rotor and redrill it for 4x100.

Curiouz_G · 09-30-2006, 02:57 PM

i like. i want em!

You should be able to use any 4x114.3 rotor of similar size to that of the 11.2in Accord one's used here.

yes, you essentially make a universal 4 lug rotor. You can commercially buy them, I wouldn't recommend making them yourself without the proper machine tools to get them centered right.
4th gen prelude rotors, accord V6 rotors or DC2R rotors will all work with the single pot calipers. if you go for the 2 piston (NSX or legend) setup, you need the heavy duty rotors (from a Legend, they're thicker).

themachinist · 07-13-2008, 11:02 AM

I want KVR discs like he is using but I don't want to swap over to prelude discs and dc2r clappers. Are our cars acura el where the company is based?
if so is it these discs:

burke420 · 07-13-2008, 11:43 AM

so is this a lil bit better than the oem setup... bc i hate mine and if this will fit 16" RPF1s im down!

nichjon · 09-18-2008, 07:33 PM

Hi there, I own a 2005 Civic ES5 and would like to seek your help with rgds to brake upgrade. Is it possible for my car to use a bigger rotor and calilper setup from another Honda car such as a DC5 as i need my car to still "look" as stock as possible cos they're very strict in Singapore with rgds to car mods, especially performance mods. I'm looking for a quick direct bolt-on solution if possible. I think my current front discs are only 260mm or something this size, and I'm looking at least to use about 300mm discs. Thanks a mil!

01_civic · 09-19-2008, 12:00 AM

dam....thats pure sex! love it!!!

efficiencyJunkie · 09-19-2008, 10:46 AM

You guys tracking your cars and finding the upgraded needed?

Good brembo blanks + super blue + good pads did the trick. Altho power regeneration in my car slows me down too. haha

edit; brakes look great on the car man! Can you do a "what it cost" break down for us?
