I recently purchased new wheels for my prelude. The stock brakes look like sh*t behind the wheels (brown and rusted) and i wanted to get new ones. I was looking at AEM Big Rotor Brake Kit but it says they are for wheels 17" or larger but i ordered 16" becuase of ride quality, weight and other reasons. So what are my options for new brakes? do they make brake kits for wheels smaller than 17" ?
I started a thread awhile back about this.. I got the big brake kit and I was told if its only the rotor 16 should clear no probs.. I have 17 inch Mugen MF 10s and it fits sorry that did not help much

you can go with the legend brake upgrade. plenty of threads on that.
you don't need the slotted rotors on an aftermarket kit if you want the stopping power. it's mostly for show...stopping power would probably be most greatly improved with new pads and SS lines.

brembo rotors..i just bought mine. i have been told they have awesome heat transfer quality and i'm also installing axxis pads along with them. ss lines are a must for strong brakes as well.

so instead of getting a whole new brake upgrade... could i just get new brake calipers? mine look like a big piece of ****, i want them to be red and i think painting them would just make them look like a big red piece of ****? any recommendations on just calipers?
yep.. they are for the S2k.. 52 mm offset.. They come off the front of S2k.. Thats what I bought.. I did not want the 16s..
They make 17s for RSX yes the bolt pattern is the same but offset is incorrect for the 5 gen ludes.. and 17's for the S2k and NSX.. All the correct bolt patterns but the S2k front Mugens are 52++

oh btw:: i know for a fact that 17" MF-10's exist because i have 19" 10's
