Default question regarding NSX calipers on ITR

would 91 NSX calipers work on an ITR (clear ITR rotors)?

With a few shims. Yes. Run and hide before everybody flames you because the topic has been covered many times.

I personally recommend upgrading to the Legend GS rotor, use less shims but its more rotational mass.

I know there is a need. I attempted it already and even with the Legend GS rotor, you need to shim but not as much.

I take it back, I used the NSX caliper bracket inconjunction with the NSX caliper and it required shims, either way you look at it. I did not attempt to use the NSX caliper with the ITR caliper bracket.

I only speak for using both NSX caliper and NSX caliper bracket.

i'm pretty sure there is no need to shim when a NSX caliper is used with an ITR bracket...but I'm t00 lazy to search.

The NSX caliper works with the ITR bracket and rotor, no shims needed.

Default Re: question regarding NSX calipers on ITR (fangtl)

You can do it that way (NSX Caliper, ITR bracket & rotor) but if the pads wear down to zero, you may have problems. The ITR Rotor & bracket are 23mm wide, while the NSX caliper is designed for a 28mm rotor. At full extension, the NSX caliper pistons will be extending 5mm beyond where they were designed to go.

Will this cause them to pop out and fail, leading to a loss of break pressure? If you try it let me know

I had shims made when I was running this setup. I have since upgraded to 12" front brakes with the NSX caliper and 99+ RL bracets and rotors . . .
