OK- so I'm in rather desperate need of new front brakes.

I bought knuckles off a '93 Integra, but need to know what else it takes to run 11" brakes on these knuckles.

Which rotors? Is there a certain year Prelude that has 11" rotors with the 4x100mm pattern, or should I go with the fastbrakes.com rotors (how good are their rotors?)

Which calipers are the best to run? ITR, NSX, or Legend GS? I'll have to buy "loaded" calipers to get the brackets (23t, right?), which then have to be milled to fit?

What BB/MC should be used? OEM Integra? I'm thinking about hard-lining the front brakes and running a Wilwood adjustable prop-valve to the rear so I can dial in exactly the bias I want.

I know I'll need new axle shafts as well. Does anyone here have experience with these E-Bay axles?

Anybody?

I'm mostly wondering which caliper would be the best to use?

 

All the calipers are the same. There is no performance advantage so it is your choice. And you need to have the bracket milled 2.5-3mm.

Booster/MC you want to keep them together no switching ABS with non ABS you will not make it work. You can you any Integra booster non abs is a 260v (says on booster) the other is an ABS 290v the ABS booster you will have to change the fitting on the hard line so if you are not comfortable with that get the 260v.

There is not 11.1" rotor that is 4x100 made by Honda. You need to redrill either a Legend rotors (what I use) or a Prelude VTEC rotor. Or call Fastbrakes and let them know what you are doing and they will send them out to you.

 

you could also PM brakeExpert and he can sell you everything you need

very knowlegable guy and very nice to talk to.

 

the "best" caliper to use would the dual-piston off the legend. I had both the ITR and the dual-piston legend calipers. I ended up selling the dual-piston calipers because I figured I that ITR caliper would be sufficient. You should be able to buy the calipers, brackets, and rotors off of Brakespert.

I'm running 10.2" rotors off an EX with ITR caliper and brakets milled to spec. I have EG rear disks. I am using axxis ultimate street/track pads all around.

What year Accord Wagons have these calipers? Also, is it only the wagons, or do the sedans and coupes have them as well?

Thank you all for your help!
