I'm looking to upgrade the brakes on my 95 DX hatch. They must be able to fit inside a set of 15" Enkei RPF1 with a +40 offset. I've searched for hours now and can't find any concrete information.

I believe the largest rotors I can run are 10.2". Is this the stock rotors on the car? Which calipers can I run without modification? I really don't want to shave calipers or run spacers.

This car is being setup as an autocross/hpde/weekend fun car.

I'd suggest that you convert to rear disc first, along with a MC and prop valve swap- it's a huge upgrade.

I hear that 15's can clear the Legend dual piston caliper. But you would need DC or EG Si/EX knuckles, and the brake anchor from any one of a couple of different models. Not sure which ones, but I know that there is a certain Accord/Prelude/ITR that will work with the new knuckles. Then you can put 11" rotors under them and have some real neck snapping braking power.

Don't worry, I'm definitely doing the rear disc conversion as well. Can anyone clarify part numbers or model years? Or maybe provide a different setup?

I think the 10.2" are from the EX coupes which are bigger than the DX fronts which are like 9.2 or something. I put the EX fronts with integra rear discs on my dx and im pretty happy with them.

Okay, after 2 solid days of fact finding I've found out that I'm screwed. I would need to replace my DX knuckles with Integra/Civic EX knuckles to upgrade my brakes. Unless I want to mill the caliper carriers, which I don't. Being that I just ordered new wheel bearings for my DX knuckles it looks like I'm stuck with those tea cup brakes for now.

Give Brian at Fastbrakes a call. He might be able to piece together a custom kit that will clear the RPF1's or have soe good insight to off-the-shelf options. I know he offers a Wilwood based kit that clears 15" Team Dynamic wheels, maybe he's got something for the RPFa's as well.
