Re: Wilwood big brakes vs 15" wheels
That moron deleted his post, talking like an idiot. Thankfully, we both quoted it lol. He's a rookie, never mind him. Oh and if he happens to read this, your wheel measurement isn't valid. Check out Wilwood's chart or go back through this thread and read what the correct clearances need to be.

and i did not delete my post.
and how is my measurement wrong?
mine has 13.5'' you need 14.2 inches of clearance to clear the kit.
how can a 15in wheel have that much room? lip wall, barrel thickness, wheel weights, also most wheels have a little step in the barrel which lowers the clearance even more for strength.... just my .25 cents

Are those Brians custom made 2 piece rotors?

Re: Wilwood big brakes vs 15" wheels
Here's my Performance Friction brake kit. Uses a 299mm(11.75") full floating disc with T bobbins and a forged monoblock caliper. Fits under my 15x6.5 rally wheels. Not as cheap as the wilwood kits but it wont flex like those and will have a lot more capacity than anything currently available for these cars.

I'm pretty sure you said that BS in the post straight above, aaaaaand it's not there. Huh? That's strange. And get out of a thread that's over your head. Nobody here is being "jdm" except you making that idiotic statement
You're right, that's why I said most. You named one wheel that doesn't fit.
Man that's so mean!

Re: Wilwood big brakes vs 15" wheels
I have my winter wheels on now but I got a pic of them other day.
These are my winter 15" mini cooper steelies in the pics. They have more clearance than the honda 15" steelies but still not much. These are the newer forged wilwoods and from what I can tell no flexing or they would rub on my honda wheels with only 1-2mm clearance.
This picture shows it better if you look at the bottom hole.

Re: Wilwood big brakes vs 15" wheels
I have the wilwood 12.19 kit and have been searching for 15" to fit it. I contacted a local wheel shop that sells team dynamics wheels and he emailed team dynamics with the clearance chart from wilwood and they said the prorace 1.2 will not fit. And he doesn't know how wilwood can claim that they will fit any 15s.

Re: Wilwood big brakes vs 15" wheels
Wilwood dont make an 11" kit for integras anymore. But would it be possible to take the civic 11" kit and just swap it to the integra?
On Wilwoods web site it says the Integra kit can fit on the civic but it cant the other way around here is the link to the civic kit.
