Default Braking Questions

1) NSX brakes behind 15" ITR's will they work? I believe yes since I've seen pictures of it but not 100% sure.

2) NSX brakes on Accord Wagon rotors - just need the nsx brackets/calipers and have the wagon rotor pressed in? I think this is the direct bolt on approach

3) Will the NSX calipers/brackets work with an 4cyl rotor? Or any suggestions on it?

I have extended studs so not worried about spacing (I've got up to 13mm spacers) I'm mostly concerned with clearances.

I believe the stock accord is 10.25" and the Wagon is 11.1? Which from the looks of it will safely fit behind the ITR wheel, my concern comes with the 11.1" rotor and the NSX calipers.

All input is appreciated. I spoke with supergenius on it and I know he's going wagon/nsx but he has larger wheels.

I know the rotor will fit with out a problem. As far as the NSX caliper I think that you will have to go with a 16" wheel. If you already have the calipers and the rotors the eaiest way to check would be to take the caliper and mount it on the rotor on the ground and then set the rim over top of it to see how much clearance you have. If it fit's its going to be REALLY close.

Just a thought though. Do the Legand dual piston caliper rotors fit under the 15" wheels? I believe that they do. So you may be ok. But its going to be really close.

Yeah , from what I saw it'll be a close fit and I'll need at least a 3mm spacer (estimated) to clear the caliper, I saw it installed with the 15" GSR Fat Five integra wheel.

I'm mostly concerned whether I can use the Accord rotor or if I need to go to the v6/wagon rotor. As that puts a bit more time needed.

Well as an update.

I picked up the following today locally.

Accord Wagon/V6 Brake Caliper Brackets (23T) from Napa
Brembo Accord Wagon/V6 Rotors from Bap Geon

New wheel bearings will come shortly when I get everything pressed in and I'll CAREFULLY transfer my ARP extended studs.
