I´ve been going through a set of rotors every 400 miles with lots of fade in between lol.
Tried with new pads, new oil and it still happens.....probably related with the rotors quality (brembo blanks).

Anyway i just ordered a set of jdm itr wheels and i was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to fit the dc5 calipers? I´ve seen setups running the brembos with 16 inch wheels but none with these specific ones.

Anyone?

Oh and happy new year

 

i know my friend had custom tabs welded on his dc2 knuckle and has dc5 brembo calipers.

 

i'd be more interested to find out how/why you're going through rotors so quickly... any thoughts besides the rotor quality?

 

agreed, what doe the full setup consist of?

 

Are your calipers dragging? How's your fuel mileage?

 

I went through 2 sets of rotors with the hawk blue pads, this last set (the one i current have) im using hawk dtc60, pads are amazing but the rotors cant handle them lol.

Oh the fact that the car is boosted doesnt help either lol

 

I wouldnt go for DC5 brembo's
They are the lowest grade brembo and IMO, only for loooks

 

Yeah running blues on the street won't help.

DTC's should be ok on a quality rotor. I don't have any issues with mine.

 

ricer lol

 

Sloel what rotors are u using?


"race the world" haven´t seen u on aim lol

 

im on aim all day douchenozzle

fwiw ive had no problems running autozone blanks with gtsport pads on my itr with the turbo setup. stop driving with your foot on the brake lol

 

i dont see u there right now fatty

 

OEM rotors.

 

No, it's definitely due to what I assume is you running race pads on the street at cold temps. Constantly running high heat, high friction coefficient track pads well below their intended operating temperatures will destroy any rotor in a hurry.

You should probably read this article, paying close attention to the section about abrasive vs. adhesive friction: http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp...rakedisk.shtml

Buying the Brembo calipers from a DC5 to solve your problem caused by improper pad selection is something like buying a new pair of shoes hoping to stop your feet from sweating, despite the fact that you wear wool socks. It just doesn't make sense.

 

I ran DC5R Brembo's on my EP3. I tried my JDM DC2R 16's, but didn't work. I ran my JDM DC5R 17's with the setup.

For the DC2R, you don't need the DC5R Brembo's. A set of decent pads (Cobalt for track use) along with Brembo blanks and ATE fluid will suit your needs. There is nothing wrong with Brembo blank rotors. If you have money, you can upgrade to a StopTech 2PC floating rotor which is the same overall diameter as the DC2R rotor, just 2 mm thicker. I ran those for a long time and was very happy with them on and off track. As for calipers, the SPOON units are a direct fit and utilizes the stock pad.
