Default New 4 piston caliper kit for Civic just finished...

I just finished the final design and fitment of a 4 piston caliper kit using a 10.2" rotor on a Civic. It uses the stock steering knuckles and bolts on. The rotor is the same basic dimensions as the Integra, but it fits the Civic. It won't fit the stock 14" steel wheels without a little trimming of the top of the caliper. I will try some 14" factory aluminum wheels tomorrow.

I'll start production of them next week. I'm offering them to a few select groups for the introductory price of $499.95. Regular price will be $599.95. If you want this set up let me know.

Ohhhh BABY that sounds nice! Which caliper/rotor combination does it use? From looking at your site it seems that most of your upgrades are done using modified stock components, is why I ask... how hard will it be to replace them for maintenance five years down the road?

I am assuming the kit would fit CRX's as well, right?
who makes the caliper?
I am not sure what size rotor the CRX has, is 10.2" bigger?

Thanks

George

This kit uses Wilwood 4 piston calipers, so the parts will be available for a long time. The rotor is a stock rotor from another car, I don't even know which one. I just use the spec sheets to find what I'm looking for and buy one to test fit.

This will fit any Civic/CRX/Del Sol with the 9.5" brakes, back to 1984. This upgrade is primarily designed for those of you who want to keep your 14" wheels. My 11" upgrades needs 15" wheels, so this is just for you guys...

I know, this was all a long time ago but can you point me in the direction to get a 4 caliper kit for my 88 CRX Si?

Thanks
