I have been unable to locate any ITR rear calipers; are there any other calipers (or carrier brackets) that will locate the brake far enough out from the spindle to clear an ITR sized rotor? Possibly 97+ Prelude ? I am talking about REAR rotors, and calipers. I have the front setup already determined. The car is a 99 Civic Si.

Thanks, Ken

 

I think rear nsx calps fit? Might need to confirm this

Thanks !! Can anyone confirm that NSX rear calipers will bolt onto a rear ITR suspension and provide the necessary rotor clearance?

Frankly, I do not have the payroll or time to "try" something that "might" fit. Right now, I am at a stall with this conversion. My only other choice is to use my stock calipers and get Si sized rotors redrilled to 5X114.3. And I really don't want to do that.

 

pretty sure ep3 rear calipers fit (i think they're what i installed on my car last year)- but to retain e-brake function you have to swap L-R, so you have to either disconnect and invert them to bleed, or drill and tap to relocate bleeder screw.

 

I can confirm that an NSX caliper brackets will require NSX rear calipers, which use a larger pad and require a ventilated rotor.

The EP3, RSX, TSX, ITR and CTR rear caliper brackets will all work for your application to clear the 10.2" rotor.


The back calipers you want are from a CTR or ITR. The EP3 and RSX ones require swapping left to right, and changing the hammer and L bracket (PM me if you needs these bits.) It ends up looking the same as ITR/CTR rear calipers.

Like so.

No info on the TSX rear caliper. No confirmation on prelude calipers, most calipers that bolt to this setup have the e-brake attachment at the totally wrong angle to where it just wont fit on the car. IF you don't care to have an e-brake then you have tons of cars to source.

Side note: if you need your rotors redrilled, I can do that for you.

all 97 + prelude calipers are the same as ctr, itr and accord v6, and maybe accord wagons BTW i have some 97 prelude rear calipers and 2 rebuild kits and some hawk hps pads for sale. pm me if your interested.

 

No they aren't please double check your sources. The Accord e-brake attaches at a different direction.

 

Thanks all. I stumbled upon an article showing an EP3 rear brake conversion. I found a member selling his, so I should have them soon. I almost went with a new set from the dealer for $117 each, except they wanted to charge a core charge of $60 per? Are there so few of them that they need to charge for the core?

Anyways, my little "project" should be done by this weekend.
