Default can somebody please confirm their front caliper bracket number?

i have two different brackets off from ITR 5lug brakes.

i have 23T from JDM 5lug and 25T from USDM 5lug.

I was wondering if 25T brackets were indeed used in USDM ITR's.

Can somebody nice enough to check their brackets and confirm this for me?

Thanks in millioin!

Thank you! cxSHOE !

i think it is the wheel bearing that makes the difference between JDM and USDM.
Since JDM is using 36mm, it must be different.

I checked EVERYTHING, the thickness of rotor is the same (JDM and USDM), the knuckle thickness where brackets are mounted is the same. 23T clears the rotor on JDM knuckle while is doesn't on USDM knuckle. 25T clears the rotor on USDM knuckle as much as 23T does on JDM knuckle.

Anyway I got my answers! Thanks fellow ITR owners!

I am in the same exact boat lol. I went to put my front 5 lug on and back together.. I have 36mm front hubs with 23t brackets and they are rubbing like yours with usdm itr rotors and pads. I need some 25t brackets asap.

haha really?? my JDM ones are clearing 23T brackets tho. maybe like for 1mm?
same for my USDM knuckle and JDM caliper setup. I am using 25T brackets on my car and it clears the rotors for about 1mm. I dont know if that is too close but at least its not touching.

i hear 25T brackets are easy to find. non-type-r DC2 comes with 25T and i believe S2000 also comes with that.

Good luck!

NO.

All 97-01 ITRs came with the same rotors and calipers, brackets are stamped 23T.

The 25T is from the Accord V6 wagon, i think CL/TL, and is meant for a slightly thicker rotor. Any application where a 23T can be used, a 25T can be used. Stock, it should not hit, but for using the 23T on another car, such as 4x100 Civics/Integras , the bracket must be milled 3.2mm on the knuckle mounting point.

if you have stock ITR brakes, a 23T bracket will NOT rub at all, the 25T will not make a difference. If yours is rubbing, something is not right or your setup has the wrong part, can you take a picture so I can identify whats going on?

I don't know **** about "JDM" cars, its possible that the hub is longer on one, therefore using a USDM rotor on JDM spindle (or vice versa) could have a different offset, possibly cured by the 25T, but I can't imagine honda changing the offset by ONLY 2mm.
