i just searched, and from what i can tell, no one has been able to install dc5 brembos and dc5 rotor on the dc2 yet. is it impossible? or is it just so difficult as to not make it worthwhile?

 

What's the point.. The stock setup is not good enough? (with pads, fluid & lines)

 

nothing is ever good enough, you always get the itch to make it better

With good pads and brake fluid, the stock brake system can handle HEAVY track abuse. Let's not forget that the afforementioned setup, was used by Realtime Racing to win a championship.

It sounds like you're just going for bling. If that's the case, just get the Brembo Gran Turismo brake kit.

Sounds to me like a kid who has no concept of "savings" and will end up leeching off of society when he gets to retirement and realizes he forgot to save anything.

 

Instead of trying to retrofit dc5 brakes why not just get some spoon twinblocks and some legend rotors.

oh please....we all know red calipers stop better than blue.....!!!

IM "kengs" if you want more info on the JDM shop/link that made the DC5R clappers work on the DC2....

 

yeah i saw that link of kengs, the price is ridiculous, i'm on a tight budget reason i'm asking is i can get the brembos for less than $600, which i'm sure is a lot less than the spoon or the gt kit. seems like no one on ht has done this conversion before

You be the first and let us know.

But if you can't tell the difference I don't see why this would be a wise way to spend your money. To each his own I guess.
