as u know i have a ej1, and im going for lots of power, dohc vtec, with a good amount of boost typa power, im doing a rear dis swap, and im upgrading rotors and pads to brembo, but i was woundering what kind of caliper should i go with for the front and rear, ITR? Prelude? . . . . . . .

 

Well, depends where you get the rear disks and the front knuckles. You can only use ITR calipers with an ITR 5-lug conversion. If you get the front and rear brakes from an Integra, the stock calipers are sufficient enough.

 

well, if i pick up these rear's then there from an eg si hatch, the ej1 si did not come rear disc

 

sPoOn calipers!

lol

wwwwwrrrrrrooonnnnnggggg. Don't spit what you don't know.

Almost ALL calipers bolt up to all knuckles...but rotor to caliper clearances can make the difference. Forever, me and some buddies rolled with Prelude VTEC/ITR front calipers with 4x114.3 Prelude VTEC rotors redrilled to 4x100. All you need to do is machine down about 3-4mm of the caliper mounting bracket so the rotor fits centered in the caliper, and that's it!!

You can also run 4 lug EP Si rear rotors with mounting brackets and a stock GSR/Si caliper to give you the same size as ITR...all for cheap

Then how is it that people just don't put Integra calipers on DX knuckles? Too much work?

 

because the distance of the caliper mounting poiint to the center of the hub is closer on the DX caliper....if this makes sense. The rotor will not fit. The caliper WILL bolt up....but it won't be far enough from the center of the hub to allow space for the rotor
