Parking Brake Rear Caliper Kit?
I was doing my usual "What if" bit with google for plans for my car and today while shopping around for brake stuff I saw this:
http://www.corsportusa.com/store/cat...ducts_id=11670
Was considering running those as well as the Dynalight 12.19 drilled fronts. Been researching on here and in other various places and been hit or miss for DD. Car is gonna be a DD car that I track on weekends, two or four times a month. I know they don't have the dust shields so I have to clean them on a regular basis as well as rebuild them every so often. I was thinking about just doing the fronts but I don't want to add in a proportioning valve. Is the cost of the propriatary rotors and pads a lot compared to stock sized race pads and slotted rotors?
For the most part, since the car isn't a dedicated track car, to me it seems like it'd be too much of a pain in the ***. I'm thinking race pads like hawk blues with slotted rotors and a brake system flush. Car is a 94 civic EX with 4/w disc ABS. Also deleting the ABS system. Stock civic hubs, not integra. Would overall hubs before install.
1. Do I need to get the Wilwood master cylinder as well?
2. Should I run the 12.19's front and rear on a DD? If I do I'd be buying new wheels based around them being able to fit.
3. Should I just stick with stock and do race pads and slotted rotors after flushing the system?
4. I frikking searched for days and found nothing for the combo e-brake enabled rears, any ideas about difficulty of install/brake effectiveness?
5. Thinking the 4 pot would be fine, what about the 6 though? Don't want to be overbraking.
6. What about the 4 pots with steel rotors? They call it a drag kit, I assume the vented rotor would just be a better path in general?
7. I want to run 15" RPF1's, think they'll clear? Doubt it, but worth a shot. What offset?
8. Considering the NSX/Legend front and rears maybe, yay or nay? Would also run race pads/slotted rotors with that.
Sorry for the wall of text. Still going to keep searching but answers are greatly appreciated. Thought, comments, and criticism accepted. I know it's assbackwards DD'ing a car you want to track, don't bring that up purty please.
Edit: I think the 12.19 on the rear would create too much rear bias, if I do this I'd be going with the 11 rear.
