Default Non S Brake upgrade- a Success!!

A couple years back, i was at a wrecking yard and found an 06 rsx-s that had recently been loaded with a number of nice aftermarket upgrades, then crashed and written off shortly afterwards.

I scored a deal on next new Rotora BBK kit. I know these sets retail around a couple thousand bucks, i walked out with it for $600, and now that i am back to running oem 17" mags, got around to installing the kit, finally, lol........on to my non S 2002 Premuim RSX

Took 15 mins, and i had the old rotors, calipers and original rubber lines off the front of the car.


A shot which shows the size difference from the stock size rotor, to the 13" rotor upgrade!


Another 15mins later, and the new parts are installed. (rotors were a little dirty from sitting around so long)


Total install time was only an hour. They fit very nicely behind stock 05-06 type S rims, and made a very noticeable difference over the stock setup found on a base brake setup, love it!!!
