Hello guys i am looking for some info. i have a 2007 civic si fg2 and i want to install dc5 itr front brembos caliper . i want to know what parts are need other than brembo caliper and brackets. I.e will the stock rotors work and if not what rotors do u need also where can i get pads if the they don't come with caliper. thanks guys.

 

if you know where to source itr brembo brake calipers you should know where to find pads for them. i wouldnt know where to look for either of those items.

but if it were me id go ahead and purchase some crossdrilled/slotted quality rotors if i were going to drop some $$ on a brake setup.

 

I don't remember what dc5 itr stands for. But if you're talking about the japanese type r sedan, you prolly should leave it alone. I found the brembo calipers online from an importer then I found out you need the rotors and then I think the 18" wheel to clear them. Then comes the good stuff, You will also need the knuckle, sway bars, control arms, some suspension components and steering components. Have fun with all that for some calipers.

Try this and let me know how they work

 

I[ntegra] T[ype] R

DC5 = rsx 2002-2006

All that for brakes! [proper context]

OP: If the stock rotors do fit, I'm pretty sure you'll need some new wheels as well, considering that the stock itr 17's have a +60mm offset to clear said brake kit.

 

I thought the ITR had 18's not 17" wheels. The stock rotors won't fit I already said that

 

They're 17's. I'd rather just pick up a brembo bbk. But there you have it OP.

x2. I believe the ap1/ap2 spoon monoblock calipers should fit with the stock rotors.

 

OP, are you exhausting the stock brakes? or is this for looks?

If you are after visual appeal, if not way over priced compared to what you can get at fastbrakes.com

 

i road race on weekends and i am kind of on a budget so i am strong believer of using honda factory parts

what pads are you using?

 

i am using hawk pads

 

DC5 ITR brembos will bolt-on FG2 Si.. as long as you have both the calipers and rotors from the DC5... you will also need min 17s to clear them and 8mm spacers for the front. I've already done this convertion on my FG2 racecar..

 

Please clarify for me what the DC5 ITR is? Is it the type R sedan?. If so I think you need the knuckle and various suspension components

 

DC5 ITR = RSX (JDM) Integra Type R

 

Can you send me some pics of those brembo calipers on your civic, I'd like to see them. Thanks man

 

hi rock star could u send me pic of your install also where do u get replacment rotors for the brembo

 

I'll post pohotos in the next few days.. the car is in the shop getting some engine work done.. As far as replacement pads and rotors, I'm sure any local Brembo dealer can source them with the correct measurements..

then Brembo blanks, hawk pads, SS lines and racing brake fluid is all you need, the brake and road race forum has beat this topic to death.

OEM brembos are still way more money than what is being offered on fastbrakes.com, that is unless you are buying used or have some once in a lifetime hook up. If you still persue anything other than what I mentioned, well that just shows us here that you want it for the bling factor,

Kidnkorner is right....we happened to find a set of good condition used DC5 ITR Brembos for a very very reasonable price, that's why we jumped on it.... with the way Civics are set-up, they are really light to begin with, and with the power it's NOT necessary to have BBKs...

Again, some bling on the car is always cool too!!

 

I meant to add that a BBK usually, in most cases actually reduces brake stopping power and the main benefit is prolonged and sustained brake performance. The stock system is good for 1, 2 maybe 3 high speed brake stops, after that the rotors start to give off a vibration similar to a slow motion ABS system, lol

 

and also stock breaks fade a lot easier as well.. well i believe the DC5 Brembos are the same ones that Honda uses on JDM CTR and the Mugen RR.. it should be good!!
