Default 12" brake update...

I did the first test fitting of the 12" brakes with the Superlite calipers on an ITR tonite, well sort of. After disassembling the ITR brakes I wnet to put on the new 12" rotor/hat assembly, and wouldn't you know the damn hub size on the rotor hat was too small. This is the second time I've tried to fit a rotor on the ITR and hub size seems to be my enemy.

After figuring out how to mount the caliper using one of my existing brackets with a couple of extra holes drilled in it I thought the fitting would go smooth.

After the rotor wouldn't go on the hub, I thought well at least I can check the wheel to caliper clearance since the wheel is off the car. These were Advan 16" wheels. Wrong again! The calipers are too wide and hit the spokes with the rotor/hub offset I was using. So it's back to the drawing board for another couple of weeks of design and fitment fun...

just the ITR, or both the ITR and GSR designs (dunno if there's a difference that would factor in)

The GS-R hub is smaller by about 6mm, so the rotor hat fits over it fine. I test fitted the 12" rotor and caliper to my Integra test knuckle and it fit OK with the modified bracket I use. I need to borrow a 16" wheel to see if this will all fit inside it...
