There's a used set of Jaguar S-Type R brembo calipers for sale locally, for cheap! But they need a rebuild which isn't really a big deal. My only question is if this specific model of Brembos will be easy to mount onto a Honda knuckle? I know people have used calipers from all sorts of other cars, with some fabrication of course.

I searched, found that some caliper designs are more suited for this than others. So I'm wondering if anyone here has any specific knowledge. I can host and post pics of the actual calipers I'm looking at if it helps, but I'm about to get ready for work, and can't get around to it. I'm going to keep looking elsewhere online for more info as well.

 

Please post pics. Certain Brembos mount in ways that can be adapted easier than others.

 

After some research, I found out they are pretty big! The front rotors on the Jag S-Type R measure 14.3" in diameter. Probably overkill for most Hondas, but I'm curious as to what else they might work on.

here are the pics, the first one I found online to show the mounting location on the Jag, the rest are of the actual calipers themselves.







They're cheap enough I should buy them anyway, $200 isn't much in the event I could maybe resell them if they might work for something else. Otherwise they'd make pretty cool bookends for my shelf!

 

They won't be easy to adapt.

 

exactly what I was thinking!

 

Ehhh machining a bracket for that would be pretty elementary if you know how or have access to a machine shop. Cramming that much caliper behind the wheels of a typical Honda is gonna be the tough part.

 

That's what I'm thinking. Adopting that to even a DX knuckle would more than likely require 18" wheels.
