search but unable to find a good answer, for the 11" upgrade you grind down the mating surface of the caliper bracket to the knuckle. but can you instead...

press out the 4-100 hub and press in either the prelude/itr (36mm axle in 4-114.3 or 5-114.3 that use a factory 11" rotor) and swap out the outer splined cv bearing onto my integra axle (or just get itr axles/just to save some time)

would this not avoid the grinding down and keep the proper clearence for the rotor to caliper bracket? and also be able to avoid using redrilled rotors.
don't know if anyone has gone about the upgrade in this direction

 

The wheel bearing would have to be compatible with the knuckle and the hub.

 

that part i already figured as much, the real question is that by using the hub would i be placing the rotor in the correct spacing that the 22t bracket would not have to be shaved to fit the rotor, ie prelude hubs spacing > than integra 4-100

i've seen that the itr's and the da's don't exactly match but with some machine work they can be made a match

and secondly, would it work in the rear?

No, you machine that surface, as it affects the caliper bracket seating and alignment. The grind down method grinds the inside of the caliper bracket.

 

sorry i guess what i mean by grind and machine are one in the same. i fully understand what needs to be done for the 11" brakes to fit. I looking to see if there is another way that wouldn't need the caliper bracket to be grinded/shaved/machined to fit the rotor,

i don't know if anyone has had the time to look over the other wheel bearing in relation to the integra hubs as in (do the preludes wheel bearing fit in the integra knuckle to be able to install the prelude hub and do away with caliper bracket mod?), i don't have access to all the bearing, but when i used to do brakes for a living the caliper rebuild kit were the same for the prelude and the itr, same with pad (generically speaking, as for pads, calipers, rebuilds etc... cross referencing)
