whats up guy's,
i was wondering what is a good willwood front brake setup for a 2000 civic hatch. i would like to get slotted rotors and nice calipers, pads, and all of the other things i would need to do this project right (not the most expensive hopfully), i just dont know the sizes and which of their products is the best for my application. the biggest problem is that i need them to fit with my stock rims so i can use my snow tires in the winter.


Thanks in advance

 

The DVM Big Brake package is what we use in New Zealand...
"Winner of ""Bulletproof Brakes"" trophy - 2002 Sony Xplod Auto Salon (Auckland)
Costs about $550-600 USD

Consists of:
Wilwood UltraLite Billet Four Pot Calipers x 2
Wilwood Rotors x 2 (specify size)
EARL's braided brake lines/fittings
T6061 Aluminium Brake Hats (Anodized blue/red)
T6061 Aluminium Caliper Adapter plates (Anodized blue/red)

End result:

Picture above is on an EK. Rotors are around 272mm. These fit sweet under 15" rims.

thanks those brake are exactly what im looking for, but is there anyway to do something like that and make it fit in the stock 14in rims.

"Wilwood Rotors x 2 (specify size)"

does that mean this same package can be used with a smaller size rotor. also does anyone know of a good site to buy this kit from besides willwoods own site

thanks

 

NOT likely. check Fastbrakes for kits or Wilwood also has a direct kit but I think th eWilwood Direct kit is for use with 16" wheels and up.

 

From what i remember the fastbrakes kit is able to fit under "some" 15in wheels. I don't think any brake system using atleast a 11in rotor will fit under a 14in wheel so you're probly out of luck if you thinking of keeping the stockers.

These are good but you will need to get 15" or bigger wheels.

 

e-mail Brian about what will fit under 14" wheels. I thought he posted up an 11" solution for 14s a few weeks ago. Hrm.

I hope you're not running HXs or you're going to need spacers for anything bigger than stock, really.
