Default FS: Custom S2K Brake Setup for EK!

If you're looking for some serious stopping power for less-than-Wilwood money, you've come to the right place. What you're looking at is a complete, front and rear brake conversion kit for the EK. This will totally transform the braking power for your EK by giving you the equivalent braking power of the S2000. Libertariat has this brake setup on his EK and he can gladly testify to the awesomeness of this kit.

The only reason why I am selling this kit is because my Honda got totaled before I could put it on.

I have well over $1000 invested in this kit, and for everything I am asking a very modest $600. If you want this shipped, It's going to be another $100. If you already have the Si spindles and don't need the trailing arms shipped, let me know and ill only charge you $50 for shipping.

If you live near the Western CT area (I live up near Lime Rock Park) I don't mind driving out to meet you.

I have done quite a bit of business here on H-T before, if you need to know I am legit see my iTrader score. There are also others who can vouch for me as well. To add to the resume, here's my eBay feedback score:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...ab=AllFeedback

So enough about that. Here's what's included:

S2K Calipers (Front): These have have been milled down to fit the EX knuckle (note if you have the DX knuckle this kit won't fit your car, sorry!). They have been freshly rebuilt and are good to go.



S2K Rotors (Front): Unfortunately the guy who milled these did a terrible job, but they still fit over the 4x100 hub just fine. Since the rotors aren't load bearing they're still safe to use. Brand new haven't been used at all.



S2K Rotors (Rear), DC Calipers (7CLP13S, Rear)

Here is what the rear brake setup looks like assembled on the EK trailing arm with the Si spindle. Note that the wheel bearing isn't included so you'll have to reuse your own. The Integra caliper is very strong and pairs very well with the S2K rotor. Note that the S2K rotor is larger than the EP3 rotor, so just using an EP3 rotor won't work. The second picture you'll see the custom bracket that was fabricated to move the caliper farther out to accommodation the S2K rotor. The torque spec for the bracket is the same, as if you were torquing the caliper directly to the spindle (I don't know it off hand).




GSR MC + Brake Booster (1")

With this amount of braking power, you'll need this master cylinder and brake booster size to accommodate. Anything smaller won't work. Bolts right in.




So now that you know what's included, here's what you'll need to complete everything:

- You will need to reuse your rear wheel bearings / studs.
- You need brake pads (I left this out purposefully since people have different preferences)
- You need to re-use your stock brake lines (getting stainless steel ones are recommended)

Everything else is included. For instructions on how this installation process works, see here:

For the front: http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/ho...as-civics.html

For the rear: https://honda-tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes-54/11-1-s2000-rear-brakes-civics-integras-3043611/

The only downside of this kit is you'll need 16" to clear the 11.8" rotors. The only 15" wheels that I know of that clear it are the motegi track lights and the volk CE30's.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Thanks for looking!

I understand the front but stopping power is still the same for the rears because the stopping surface is still the same since its a dc caliper. Basically just because it has bigger rotors for the rear doesn't mean it'll stop better.

Not necessarily. By moving the caliper out, you create more brake torque, thus more stopping power. It's why a lot of Volkswagen and Audi guys upgrade to the A8 rotors from the dinky A4/A6 ones.

What does it take to fit the stock s2000 rotors on an ek? Just need to mill down the face for the correct offset?

The S2000 rotors will bolt right up (after being redrilled to 4x100, which these are), the calipers are the only thing that need to get milled in order to bolt onto the knuckle (which they already have). But if you need replacement rotors you just need to get them redrilled. Any machine shop will be able to do that.
