Default To Anybody Doing a Front NSX Brake Conversion

If anyone on here is planning to do an NA1 NSX Brake conversion to their DC integra or EG civic, I have an offer for you.

I did this conversion on my GSR about 3 months ago, then I switched the front to 5-lug type-r hub. I had the NSX brake brackets (that surround the caliper) machined 3mm to fit on the 4-lug correctly.

But now that I went to 5-lug, I had to add spacers to get the caliper in the right orientation (because they are a direct bolt-on for type-r's)!! So my offer is, if anyone wants to do this conversion, if you have the brake brackets, send them to me & I'll send you my brackets machined correctly for the 4-lug hub all ready to go. I can provide pictures to show how well they fit under the GSR wheels so you know it's legit.

I can't buy just those brackets, and would rather not run spacers on the brakes. If anyone is interested, let me know.

P.S. the brackets are also painted gloss black with high temp caliper paint.

Thanks!

There's no such thing as an NA1 NSX brake system. There are two brake systems for the NSX, with one set of calipers, rotors, pads, etc for the '91-96 NSX and the other one for the '97-05 NSX.

NA1 is the designation for all NSXs with the 3.0-liter engine, which includes all '91-96 cars as well as the '97-05 cars with automatic transmissions. The latter group of NA1 cars had the later brake setup.

You are correct, sorry for the oversight. My post relates to the '91-'96 set-up.

Yes, they say NSX on the calipers. The front brake pads are the same size and shape as used on the Integra Type R front (all years) and the '97-01 Prelude front, although the pad composition differs among the three models, and the other two models have only one piston per front caliper, whereas the NSX has two.

For milano2kdc2, I can only find pictures on my computer with the 5-lug on. I think I have some pics with the GSR wheels on my parents comp (my car is at my dad's garage). I will try to find them next time I'm over there.

Here's some pics with the 5-lug:








And for those interested, here's the rears :
