Re: Post up pictures of your BIG BRAKE KIT!!!!
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.

Re: Post up pictures of your BIG BRAKE KIT!!!!

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.

Re: Post up pictures of your BIG BRAKE KIT!!!!
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.

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.

Re: Post up pictures of your BIG BRAKE KIT!!!!
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.
