OK, Assmunch. This is a serious forum. You want a serious answer to your question, come here and write a coherent question not a 3rd grade run-on sentence. 90+ words and not one damn punctuation mark.

dude... you got black wheels your jdm
It's "you're jdm" as in "you are". Not "your" which is possesive. Same goes with your "your not english teacher ***". Should be: "You're not an English teacher, ***". Get it right.

Perhaps I am an English teacher you dickless wonder.

Mr. Thug,

1) The only mode of communication on this board is the written word. The rules of the written word are designed to promote common understanding. If you want to get an effective answer to your question, those rules are the best chance for you to be understood and respected.

2)Calling members diminutive appellations at the drop of a hat is ALSO not the best way to gain respect and promote good information exchange.

3)Cross-drilled rotors are not a good idea for any serious competition.


Thank you.

Andy

Since this thread isn't going anywhere productive...

That signature is one of many on this board that's been bugging the hell out of me for quite some time now. I'd think that if you're going to put something out there to represent yourself every time you post that you'd at least get the grammar correct.

I love it when people attempt to flame with 4th grade grammar skills.

and for some reason you caught me in a half-decent mood this morning so I will answer your question with some helpful tips and a little parts list

5th gen 11.2" front brake
92-96 prelude OR 91-95 Legend rotors - redilled to 4 x 100mm
91-95 accord WAGON calipers - others work but I know these FOR SURE work
94-up Teg' spindles OR 93-95 civic WITH ABS spindles have the right pattern also
same pads as ITR,legend cpe,accord,prelude,etc
use your same brake lines - no problems there

UPGRADE your MC/Booster - these calipers are huge, get AT LEAST a 15/16th MC and 94-up teg booster will work

other combos may work , dont argue with the info I posted its simply what I KNOW works in this case , and you DO need to mod the caliper brackets slightly , about 3-5mm

thats it

Just go to fastbrakes.com and look at the 'SpecR' upgrade. I have this on my 99GSR, its essentially the type-R brakes, redrilled 11"x23mm front rotors with either the type-r front calipers, 98+ Accord V6 front calipers, 92-96 Prelude VTEC front calipers, or the old Accord Wagon front calipers(they are essentially all the same). I used 99AccordV6 front calipers, you just have to shave/gring a little material off the inside of the caliper bracket and then it fits perfectly. Just go to the website and ask Brian there for help if you need it, enjoy
