currently I have gsr spindles 4x100 ITR rotors and calipers and 15"Spoon wheels.
I want to get a 4 piston caliper for better braking, not that the ITR calipers are having problems.

Any ideas other than the spoon calipers which have been tought to find even used?
can a willwood bolt up to the spindle or any other caliper?
Any help is appreciated

 

haven't people used the Acura Legend/NSX calipers? Or is that on the ITR rotors only?

Not sure...just throwin' that out for ya.

 

if the caliper you have now is working fine for you why switch?

i know there is a willwood caliper that fits the ITR sized rotor's, as Fast brakes sells it as a kit. contact them

 

AP racing has a very nice 4 piston setup. Roger Foo used to run them in his WC Civic. It cost about $2500 I think, maybe a little less. You can use 15" rims with it if I recal.

Yep... that would be the "best" option. Lockwood and myself both have used sets for sale.

I wouldn't consider most of the Wilwood kits an upgrade from what you've got. Many of the racers who have used it ended up switching to something else.

These are local to me. I can help out if you think you're interested. $1100 Canadian is about $955 US at the current exchange rates.

I'm surprised Frank didn't mention the stuff Brian Hasty sells (www.fastbrakes.com). I've been running the 11.75" 2 piece rotor with Wilwood Superlite calipers kit I bought from Frank about 2 years ago. Though I have never tracked the car, I've done about 55 autocrosses, and about 40,000 miles of commuting, and the pads (Carbotech Panther Plus) still have 50% plus left on them.

 

oh yah. i forgot about Brian's kit. heheh. i like how those calipers looked. how do they perform jaker? carbotech's are great pads, however they are riveted so you should keep an eye on the pads when it gets to about 2 mm of materials.

 

NSX calipers/Legend GS rotors (28mm thick) on an ITR with 15" rims (+45 offset):





You can use Legend calipers too - but then the bleeder valves are in the wrong orientation.

The main problem with Spoons is that there are no rebuild kits for them.

Otherwise you're looking at Wilwoods or something much more expensive.

 

ahh free plug for myself. i *still* have the NSX calipers in my garage.

 

I have never had any trouble with the kit. Only concerns are that the pads are a little too hard for autocross. I'm sure they'd perform admirably for road racing/lapping, but the 1st run on an autocross, I have to keep in mind that the 1st time I hit the brake, not much is going to happen. Also, if it rains heavily, or steady for a while, there's nothing happening when you press the brake pedal for a second or 2 till the water gets scraped off, and the pad starts to bite. I even switched to new slotted rotors to bolt to the hats, thinking they'd help with the water, and though it improved, its still not to my liking.

Anyone have a reccomendation for a great autocross pad that will be good for the street too, and fit the Wilwood caliper?

 

how much for the NSX calipers?
those are a bolt in install for my setup?
and then I need the rotors from which legend and I guess I have to get them redrilled to 4x100
I did look into the fastbrakes setup also as I did the 12.17 wilwoods
i forgot to mention I have to have them fit under my 15 inch spoons which are my track rims
I have 16inch spoons for daily use
