Brake swap

It is possible to use the Brembos of a DC5 on a DC2 ITR?

Have anyone tried this, the guy told me they had 300mm discs , is a brake swap possible?

You'll need some kind of bracket.... Maybe custom made....
It's easier to just buy a Brembo kit for the DC2....

It's just that someone is selling the Brembos of a RSX and they're pretty much new, though I haven't seen them yet.

I know Spoon made calipers for the ITR that'll fit the DC and I've also seen ITRs use NSX calipers but don't relly know who much work is involved.

just get the Spoonies....I think theyre straight bolt-on for the DC2? W/ the DC5 you might need to swap in the DC5 suspension (front control arms..yada yada)...at least for the regular RSX's that is...

The DC2 has double wishbones, the DC5 has McPherson struts. They are very different and not compatible....

If it is the JDM DC5 Brembos brakes, you need 17" wheel
