I bet they do.


But for the same amount of money (or lesseven) you can build a bigger, badder, better 4 lug brake system if that's all you're after.

For example, if you had some 90-93 integra or 90-91 civic ex front knuckles, you can use the two piston itr calipers and rotors. You just have to redrill the rotors to 4x100. And you would have the same stopping power for a lot less money.
That conversion is purely aesthetic.

But man, it sure is clean

When its a 5 jug and gut bucket bass hoe down, these guys make the rolling stones look like a bunch of handicapped midgets trying to play music.

for 2 piston caliper, only the legend or nsx have 2 piston on the front caliper. For a 5 lug conversion you will have lot of work to do,this is the thickness difference about DA vs DC2-R disk :


and about DC2-R vs Legend/NSX disk:



the difference about DA vs DC2-R caliper :


the difference about the booster from civic dx vs dc2-R :

it's roughly the same price to do the 5 lug conversion vs big brake kit for an EF and it's roughly the same braking result, but the 5 lug conversion it's a lot more complicated, good luck in your project

Yarrr i be hijacking yee thread there matie, just but a wee minute.

That red ED is soo clean and straight

Is it actually an eastern canada car? or did you buy it elsewhere?

Edit: after looking at the pics a lil more it does appear to have some of the typical signs of a visit to the body shop.... but the floor and spare area are both rust free by the looks of things.
