Finally got my S2000 calipers and Rsx Type-S rotors to do the Conversion on my GSR .. but it seems the Thread (links above) that had the detailed steps was been modified and post deleted.


I know i have to redrill the Rotors to 4x100 .... But How much do i need to Mill the S2k brackets to mount it to my 95 Integra Gsr? i have looked all over online and found nothing.. I seen some say .050 another say 1mm and another say 2mm?

Anyone know the exact amount to mill off the Brackets?


Thanks

Anyone? Don't really want to use a grinder, would rather go to a machine shop... but don't want to get the wrong number to mill down, not enough milling and i have to pay again to do it... Too much milling and the Brake Calipers will be no good..

Well ... found it finally online.... thanks for looking... And i wont be "THAT GUY" online who finds the answer and never shares it.... I've seen countless threads like that


The brackets were milled .050" off of the mounting point to within .001" runout.

Mugen brake upgrade in 4x100 form - $450
The caliper is about 9lbs compared to the ITR's 13.5lbs. The rotor is the same weight as the Legend GS 11.1" rotor but is a more effecient design giving better cooling due to its heat vane design. These calipers were painted silver (and without the stickers though.) This uses an 11.8" rotor which is hub-centric to the Integra. It was redrilled to 4x100 and the brackets have to be milled similarly to the ITR upgrade. This setup clears 16s and 15" CPFs and TE-37s, and is a bolt on for 90-01 Integras and 88-05 Civics with stock 10.3" brakes.

Up for sale is a custom brake upgrade. This is Essentially the Mugen sized brake upgrade, but in 4x100 form for us Civic and Integra people.

I figured out how to use the Mugen calipers to get an even bigger than ITR upgrade on our cars now. This is a set of calipers pulled from the Mugen Active Gate Upgrade kit (without the rotors). The caliper is about 9lbs compared to the ITR's 13.5lbs. The rotor is the same weight as the Legend GS 11.1" rotor but is a more effecient design giving better cooling due to its heat vane design. This is a big step up from the ITR brakes and is an awesome looking setup.

The brackets were milled .050" off of the mounting point to within .001" runout. This setup is clears 16s (and 15" CPFs and TE-37s), and is a bolt on for Civic EX setups.

The Mugen active gate setup goes for over 1400$ on inlinefour.com. This custom upgrade is a bolt on for Civics at less than HALF the cost.

if you don't mind me asking, but what was your total cost?

I wouldn't mind having this on my civic.
