yup I run the 11" setup with Corrado rotors and Integra calipers with rear discs. More than enough braking on an EF

im going with the wilwood setup you can run 15's or they have a setup where you have to run 17's both sets are 4 piston calipers the omni power requires you to run integra knuckles where the wilwood does not

I have an ITR big brake setup for sale for $200

All you would need is Civic EX knuckles. and I think i know someone who is selling those....

I say...

Either EX or DA knuckles
Brembro blanks
ITR calipers

Stock looking, functional, and you can fit a 15" wheel.

Hell if you have the $, get some Spoon calipers. mmm....spoon.

Sorry if this isnt the place for it, but i have a set of DA knuckles that are FREE to a good home. Somebody come pick them up (Philadelphia). One of them needs a wheel bearing, both balljoints are good.

Just trying to help out fellow CRX/Hatch owners

edit: no shipping, local pickup only. sorry!

I might take them of your hands, but would you be willing to ship them? How much shipped to NorCal?
