Can the calipers from a DA integra work? Aren't they the same size as the DC integras? I have a set laying around. If they won't work, I'll take them back to the junkyard and get the calipers from a DC teg or Prelude.

He's using Type-R calipers. Not the regular GSR/LS/RS/DA calipers that your thinking of. That's the only reason it works with the stock knuckle...

I know he's using the prelude/legend/ITR type calipers. I just want to know If the DA calipers would work. No biggie though, I'll either just take them back to the junkyard and get some lude calipers, or just stick with the stock setup and go with a better pad/brake fluid setup. Bigger brakes would bump you up in a higher class in autox anyway which I plan on doing.

For you guys wanting to do this setup let me tell you it's great. I'm from Venezuela, I talked to BrakeExpert, found the calipers, bought from him the brackets and rotors (since I couldn't find them here in Venezuela), got them shipped overseas and mounted everything on. I had to grind a little bit the bracket for it to clear the 15'' Rotas I had back then, now I've got 14'' steelies and they clear just fine (but at the limit), but no problems, have been running like that for a long time...

Do not hesitate to try this setup, he's a good seller and your car will brake the hell out of you.

Hey good to hear from ya. So you finally got em on and clamping like champs. Thanks for your vouch, glad those brakes are working well for you. Yeah I remember you were like the first guy I made those brackets for. Now I'm running 12" NSX brakes on the front and may be swapping to AMG ones later.
The 10.3"/ ITR brakes were still awesome, I loved how they were soft to the touch on initial pedal feel like stock, but then started to get really agressive the more you press. Best brakes to clear 14s by far.

Yeah you showed me the pics the other day...

I'll be doing the rear disc conversion this month, or the next. I will tell you how I did on it.
