I was checking this site for upgrading my brakes but i donīt have my R with me to check some dimensions they ask, if someone knows them please let me know.

http://www.hispecmotorsport.co.uk/order_guide.htm

"Internal wheel diameter - this must be the new disc diameter plus a MINIMUM of 50mm.
Disc to spoke - original disc face to back of wheel spoke (clearance for caliper to sit) must be a MINIMUM of 60mm"

This is for the stock R wheels.

thanks in advance

Unfortunately my R is at the shop... and not riding on stock wheels to get the spoke clearance... so I can't help with the original question.

Can I ask, albeit off topic, why you're getting a brake upgrade? I don't think there's room for much more clearance under those stock wheels in front, and the R has plenty of brakes to start with. Most guys doing HPDE (track driving schools) just get racing brake pads and fluid. I've got 300 WHP and my stock brakes survive

Just out of curiosity... Why do you want to upgrade your brake system?
Have you tried the normal upgrades such as pads, fluids and lines?

That's cuz you're slow

Some of us actually destroy the brakes regardless.

Did you forget my rotors?

Sorry just had to... And would love if you came with us to the Glen in September

Oh, sure I've cracked and warped rotors too. Bring spares, they're cheap. But you already knew that.

Do you know how many rotors I can buy in lieu of a $3000 brake upgrade?

p.s. Watkins Glen might be fun. My uncle with an S2000 wants to get into HPDE type stuff, he lives in Upstate NY, maybe I can get his *** out there.

 

well i donīt have any brake problems with my brake fluid and pads but if i could just get those calipers running on stock rotors i wouldnt mind geting them cuz they aint that expensive (compared to spoon), plus they r light
I just wished rotors were as cheap here as u guys have them there.....brembo dealers donīt even have the R on the list of cars.

Well if the fluid is fine and the pads are fine in your opinion, you're just looking for replacement rotors that fit 15" wheels and stock calipers?

I'm hoping I understand.

Because you could try to buy them online from Colletti motorsports http://collettimotorsports.com/brake_packages.html

I've dealt with them before and had good experiences.

I don't know however if they will ship international but it's worth a try.

And or if not just get the stock numbers for the Brembo blanks from them and source them yourself over there from Brembo directly.

He's looking for lighter calipers. I'm guessing also mostly because they look hot (which they do).

I'm wondering who has stock wheels and doesn't mind getting some brakedust on his/her hands to make the two measurements?

True, even I hem and haw about picking up some blue smurf things from time to time, then I wake up and decide if I'm not a better drive I'm not worthy.

I decided awhile back that I'd go for NSX calipers if I did anything and purely for better feel/control.

Brembo in EU produces blank rotors for the ITR, but it's not listed. You have to buy rotors for Honda CRV which have the same dimensions. One set sits in my garage, part# 09.6893.10 . I will fit them with Ferodo DS2500 pads, which are awesome

Here are the vehicles that share the same rotors as ITR (taken from ATE http://www.ate-brakes.com):

 

i know brembo crv rotors will fit but still expensive compared with the prices they get them in usa
I was just saying that it sucks brembo not having the R on the list
I have ds2500 and they are really nice for the road, i even used them on a trackday and no brake fade at all.
Thanks for that ATE link

 

If you want Autozone Rotors, the ones most of us use here IM me. I might be able to help you out.

Shipping would be a BITCH, those are heavy!

 

I bet it would still be cheaper then getting rotors over there...

 

Yeah shipping would be expensive and not only that since january every car part that comes from outside europe has a 27.5% tax over the item value.....gotta love my country.
Thanks for trying to help out

 

I think that there are also some cheap noname rotors in EU. I can get the Brembo CRV rotors for $140 for a pair and I think I could get some noname ones for about $100 for two rotors. I don't know if this is too much compared to US?
