I have done some searching on brake kits in general, I decided that a big brake kit really isn't as helpful bc they are heavier, I think that the spoon calipers should be more than enough with a good pad to stop, plus they are light and showy! I have found out that there are monoblock and twin block spoon calipers (though i do not know the difference) and I have heard of people putting them on 4 lug but i understand its meant for a 5 lug (which i dont understand) I would like to know, is it possible to put the spoon calipers on a 4x100 EM1, If so what do i need, and where can i purchase this stuff. Please lend some help i dont really understand

 

anyone?

A big brake is going to help a lot more than any of that crap.

 

thats just the stuff i cant find, helpful or not It's the things im interested in, I know where to get my full-race turbo kit and know where to get my engine built and where to get the internals all of that stuff is useful! What wasnt useful and didnt help was your post. you offered no information only to put down my particular taste. thanks though have a great day!

 

not a very helpful post for your brake inquiry...

HOWEVER:

enjoy!!!

 

oh wait a minute... ok i do'nt know the difference bewteen the monoblock and twinblock...

i do know that one is meant just for the S2000 and the other was meant for the ITR and CTR.

for the Type R spoon calipers, they would of course fit the 5 lug Type R rotors.

given that:

if those calipers are MEANT to fit the STOCK Type R rotors... THEN here are my findings... I was planning on ITR calipers on my Canada 2000 Acura 1.6EL - essentially same brakes as your EM1

Brembo Blank Rotors
Front ITR – 25464
Overall Diameter: 282mm
Minimum Thickness: 21mm
Overall Height: 47.1mm

Front SRV – 25434
Overall Diameter: 282mm
Minimum Thickness: 21mm
Overall Height: 47.1mm

http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/prod/BR25464

now all the "specs" look the same, the only difference would be the ITR Bolt Pattern of 5X114.3 and the SRV Bolt Pattern of 4X114.3

i was TOLD to get the SRV rotors and have a shop DRILL in a bolt pattern 4X100!!!

voila... if that works for you, great!

btw, based on my brake upgrade research, i'd suggest THIS as others have done the same for me:
ITR Master Cylinder
ITR Brake Booster

you already have the Porportioning Valve for your stock EM1 rear dics... so that should be fine.

i hope this helps!!!

 

so i actually get rotors that are 4x114.3 and have them drilled aditionally as 4x100 sort of like rims that are drilled for both bolt paterns?

 

you want all this jdm **** , but dont want to convert to 5 lug?????

 

I already have volk GT-P's in 4x100 and I LOVE them so i really dont want to change in that department. 5 lug would be cool but i'd rather not spend money on volks again

PS i like your Icon Thats the BOV ill be using, I'm hoping it works better than the one that comes with the full-race kit

 

i love this bov

yes sir - correct - IF you get the right caliper meant for Integra Type R's stock rotors. then i would make this assumption that it would work :D

Buy the DC2/EK9 Spoon Calipers with the 4H100 Spoon Rotors from jdmtheory.com. Problem solved. DO NOT DRILL the 4x114 rotors.

 

Dont the Spoon calipers also have a 3mm offset like the Type R that causes it to rub the rotor?

 

so what all would i need to purchase from your site to do this can you give me part numbers and prices?

 

If the washers are 3mm, wouldnt it just bolt up to a redrilled 4x100 Prelude rotor? I'm just guessing since I regular R calipers youy need to shave the bracket 3mm...and on the Spoon calipers, you need that washer to push the caliper out. Eliminating that washer (if 3mm) should let everything be straight bolt on with redrilled rotors.
