^^^^^ crazy,sick,wicked,insane,respect,bravo!

absolutely love it I too live in europe(cyprus) and just recently sold my 99 vti for a stupid 1.25lt grande punto diesel due to gas prices that are just raping my *** lately.

one question though,why didnt you use the mg calipers that came with its rotors?
werent they easier to find fit and work with? was there any substantial advantage in using nsx's?

how can you discribe the brake feel after the mod?

better stronger braking with shorter distance?
better response?
stiffer brake pedal?
less fade?

what did you use as a mc(master cylinder) for this setup? any mods needed for the hoses?

You maybe right, but these disks have been used several times on daily driven and on track exclusive cars and so far i have not seen or heard of structural failures on them. Besides i dont really believe that a brake disk that has a TUV homolgation can be that bad.

The above pictures are not mine, but from a friend that recently did the conversion. As the brake system is still in beding process he has not put them to real testing, so its hard to compare the crappy stock system to this one.
The NSX calipers choice was more a JDM bling thing then anything else (it seems he did get them for a quite decent price). About the original caliper for these disks....they are similar to the ITR ones although i am not sure if the bolting patern is exactly the same.
