I have seen all the previous posts re: ITR's upgrading to Legend / NSX calipers and running either Legend or Prelude rotors. My question is: Has anyone done this on their 96-00 Civics?? I am running 4 X 100 and do not plan to change to a 5 lug any time. So, would I need just Brembo blanks drilled to 4 X 100?? From what car should the blanks be from?? Prelude VTEC??
Also, will the NSX calipers bolt onto the Civic, or will there be some shimming involved, etc.??

 

The big reason for going to legend/nsx calipers on ITR's is because of the thicker rotor you can now use. Thicker rotor = more mass = bigger heat sink = less fade at the track (road courses).

if you could drill the rotors, or somehow found a 4x100 rotor w/ the right dimensions it could probably work w/ some custom brackets made.

The fastbrakes kit would be a better alternative for you if you have a necessity for big brakes - which most people dont - good pads/fluid/brembo blanks should be all you need.

 

The Fast Brakes kit you are referring to is the 11 in version?? W/ the Wilwood calipers?? Are those rotors wider as well as larger in diameter??
