Don't have a pic but I am running the redrilled Lude rotors and the 2-piston GS calipers w/ceramic pads which stops very good.

Several reasons why I did what I did because I factor in the cost of the rotors for many set-ups and the Lude rotors were the most cost effective as far as bigger brake upgrades.

Had a great deal on a Bear 13" rotor/caliper set-up but when I found out the rotors were over $200 a piece my wallet flew away....lol.

Genereally what do you guys factor in when it comes to brake upgrades? Cost, Function, Looks, or JDM?? this coming from a DD point of view of cause.

this is the appearance/cosmetic forum. Looks and JDMness will come first. My 4 piston Acura RL brake setup cost me around $800 and works wonders.

what oem brake upgrades can i do to my 4x114?

mynameizstitch

just got my Rotora BBK today!!! will be installing it this weekend. one of the rotors got some moister build up but should be gone with the first BRAKE when installed.

11.6" rotors and damn these rotora calipers are huge!

You're pretty far off the mark here. As pictures have proven on the first and second pages, you can fit the Wilwood 12.2" kit under 16" wheels.

Also, the measurements that are critical AREN'T offset, they're inner barrel diameter where the caliper sits and spoke design. Offset has almost nothing to do with it. My SSR's are a +42 offset and clear the Wilwoods just fine. Surely they're not "low offset." Another example is my RL setup: same offset Regamasters and TE37s clear where GABs don't. It's all in the spoke and barrel.

Also, please let people post questions and answers in this thread without putting them on blast. Everyone can learn from this thread. Just look at how many people have already shared good information that you don't even find in the Brake Forum.

y so much? doesnt fastbrakes sells them for 400?

2fast4u831

yea, around $400. The price I posted includes everything. brake lines, used RL calipers, new OEM acura RL pads, re-drilled 11.8" rotors and brackets.

are u using a 1" master cylinder?

2fast4u831

yes

When you look on fast brakes web site its $425 but that is just for the Fastbrakes 11.8" adapter kit and 11.8" rotors. You still have to buy the Calipers, brake pads, 1" master cylinder and prop. valve.

got my front rotora bbk kit in and im loving it. i will try to get some pictures up soon once i wash my car. the calipers are huge!! i had to put washers up front in order for them to fit underneath my 16x7 +45 offset spoon rims. im pretty sure anything +40 or lower would fit on this rotora bbk setup.

Samir

Wow, that sucks. You still got the kit? I've actually been looking at it pretty seriously.

Scotty Dosent Know

PLEASE tell me you did not use washers as spacers on your wheels to gain more clearance

Samir

And here's my picture contribution. It's a Baer 13" kit on a 96 Mitsubishi Galant that I have been running since 2004. Excuse the brake dust on the rotors and the general dirtiness of the car--it's a daily driver.

Samir

I forgot to add--this is the same kit that I'm looking to put on my 94 Accord in the next few months.

Downey

any cool 4 piston setups that fit under 15" wheels?

jdm4eva

Yo Jonathan. Here is the old set-up. Damn I miss seeing your Time Attacks..

WHAT BRAKE PADS CAN I USE ON MY 96 SPEC ITR CONVERSION? MY ROTORS AND PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED...I DONT NEED ANYTHING BIGGER JUST SOMETHING CHEAP THAT WORKS...

WhiteSlips

I think you can use 4x114 Prelude rotors and pads. I'm not 100% on that, but I'm sure someone else can confirm.

phunhaus

Pads are regular DC2 pads. Rotors can be 92-96 NON-VTEC Prelude fronts and DC2 redrilled 4x114.3 rear or just use DC2 redrilled all around.

hialeahzbg

SO REGULAR DC2 PADS AND DC2 ROTORS AND THEY JUST NEED TO BE REDRILLED? WHERE DO U TAKE IT TO GET REDRILLED? CAN IT BE A DIY?

hialeahzbg

CAN ANYONE POST REDRILLED 4X114 ROTORS? I WANNA SEE HOW THEY LOOK COMPARED TO MINE...WHAT I DID WAS BUY ALL FOR ROTORS AND PADS OFF A 2001 GSR AND BOUGHT A ACURA CL 4X114 ROTOR SO MY DAD CAN REDRILL THEM AT HIS JOB...HE CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID THE FRONT CAME OUT FINE BUT THE REARS ARE REALLY CLOSE TO THE EDGE...I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PIC IF ANYONE HAS ONE...

phunhaus

Here are my rears. They are EP 10.3" rotors redrilled from the 4x100 to 4x114.3:

hialeahzbg

LOOKS GOOD...DAMN I WONDER WHAT MY DAD IS TALKING ABOUT THEN WHEN HE SAID THE REARS ARE REALLY CLOSE TO THE WALL...

All I did to redrill mine was to clamp a stock rotor for my car onto the rotor I wanted to use. The center bore was the same so that lined them up. THen just used the drill press to go down through the holes of the stock rotor into the new rotor.
