Default whats your review on wilwood 4 piston brakes?

I am considering these for my 94 ex any Pros and cons? they say its for OE 10.3 rotors, so I take it that they should fit under 15's?http://store.summitracing.com/...civic

I don't have them but a real good freind does. They work very very well when I'm behind him which is most of the time, lol. And no they won't fit under 15's, and you'll be lucky to find a 16 they'll fit under. He has 16in gram lights(sp?) and had to notch the caliper I believe................John

U can fit 15'' wheels with the 10.3's it depends on the offset of the wheels. My buddy had to use a 1/4 inch wheel spacer to fit his 38mm offset te's. If you use a wheel spacer may i recomend some extended studs for insurance. but other than that they stop on a dime and give you a nickel back

I think you are confusing the actual kit from wilwood vs the wilwood 4piston setup that Fastbrakes.com makes. The wilwood kit requires a 16" wheel, however the fastbrakes kit will fit under most of the OEM honda 15's. I have the kit from fastbrakes along with an ITR mc/booster, however have yet to get the car up and moving .

Then it goes on to say that it is a "big brake kit" which means the rotors are bigger than stock(10.3). I say you contact them and end the confusion..Have any Questions? Give us(summit) a call at: 1-800-230-3030 or 1-330-630-3030..............John

Rotors are 12.2". You will need at least a 16" to fit them, if not a 17". Very good brakes, and pad changes are absurdly easy...
