I've got love for that...I use the 2 piston, backwards.... I know...but I can definitely vouch for the swap. totally effective, possibly even overkill since I'm stock and never go tho the track. Looks great under 15's though.

 

oh it's extremely effective and with the right pads very very fade resistant with NA power levels. hell with higher temp pads you can even drive a moderate turbo car and have decent braking

 

If you use the 98-01 ITR hub (5x114.3) and press it into the 4 lug bearing could you use a Legend rotor and calipers with the modification to the caliper bracket? As for the rear the 98-01 ITR hub (5x114.3) what rotors and calipers and bracket would be used?

 

I have a question that could help out those wanting to use NSX (NA1) calipers.

Using the NA1 brackets, would the same amount needed to be removed from the caliper bracket to position the rotor properly? I'm thinking yes. I believe these calipers can be mounted directly onto ITR calipers, but I wanted to make sure.

The NSX calipers were designed to be used with 28mm width rotors. Using these calipers with re-drilled Prelude VTEC rotors, you would lose 5mm of use from the pad.

Is there a solution to this? A thicker 4x100 rotor? Thicker shim inbetween the pad and piston?

 

I am using the mini cooper rotors and single piston legend calipers w/t23 brackets. I have also done new wheel bearings, bushings along with russel steel branded brake lines and new master cylinder. When I turn my steeling wheel while at a stand still I loose my brake pedal but it comes back after I pump it any ideas?

 

Nice! Ima do this real soon

 

bleed the brakes or failing master cylinder

 

I have and used a vacuum bleeder, it is weird only happens at low (>5mph) speed and when the wheel is turned. Just to make sure again i am going to redo my wheel bearings. My master cylinder is brand new OEM and it is the second one I have tried.

what model mini has 280mm rotor. on autozone.com they are 294mm or 276mm

 

here is what you need:

2007 Mini Cooper- BASE Model


I believe the 294 is for the cooper-s

 

I have Integra RS knuckles & (non ABS) brakes on the front of my EG. I know where to find the Legend brackets & calipers kinda cheap. I don't want to grind or mill or anything like that!!!!!!!!!!! WTF Will it bolt up or not??????????? I'm so confused!!!!!!!!!!! I got people saying it will work then people saying it won't work!!!!!!!!! Which is it?????????????????????

 

Doesn't it depend on your choice of rotor???

This guys didn't mill his caliper brackets in unison w/the mini rotor:

 

I'm all about getting a mini rotor & throwing it on my EG!!! I just don't want to grind and stuff & i plan on tracking the car at some point in time...

Now can we clear up a debate between using EF EX knuckles VS EF Si knuckles to use with this brake upgrade???????

 

i have been using the fastbrakes kit for a couple years now. it was only $750 with the wilwood 4-piston calipers and still feels like new.

 

ok so got my calipers/28t brackets in the mail.....but im unsure about one thing. which part of the bracket do i have to cut?

this side


or this side

(scratches head)

 

here ya go....by yours truly

get the mini cooper rotors and no grinding or cutting required

 

I thought the 28T brackets didnt have to be milled down... just the 23T and

shift its the 2nd pic u posted opposite side (side that makes contact with the side that bolted on to

 

Cut the 23T
Don't cut the 25T

i received my 2 piston acura legend calipers in the mail today. i'm planning to run the 280mm (11.0")"mini cooper base rotors, do i need to mill the 28T brackets or is it a direct fit without grind?

also, do i need to change the proportional valve and upgrade to a larger master brake cylinder?

i have a 01 integra LS on LS meshies

 

What's a bigger brake master cyclinder from a 01 teg?

 

Did you watch the video? And I also gave you advice in your thread.

All the information is there people just need to pay attention.

If you have a 1 MC which I am certain you do, there isnt a bigger oem one.

 

okay so i got my hawk HPS pads today.

im still confused about the bracket issue. the ITR uses the 23T bracket and the rotors are 23mm. if the mini cooper rotors are only 22mm thick, is the 28T bracket too wide and have issues with the pad not hitting the rotor's surface?

the rundown:

22mm rotors = use 23T brackets?
28mm rotors (legend rotors) = use 28T brackets
25mm rotors = use 25T brackets

correct me if i'm wrong someone!!

 

anyone??
