wilwood caliper questions
does wilwood make a caliper that fits directly onto the stock location on a 94-01 integra but still uses stock rotors.
i just want to upgrade calipers without upgrading rotors because of $ and i really dont think there is a need when my car stops and decelerates like crazy now all i want is a better caliper
thanks in advance
also if you can find them where would a good place to buy them be and if you find any part numbers those would be helpful
i have checked fastbrakes and summit and all they have is big rotor kits

I have not herd of any larger caliper that uses the stock rotors. (minus the ITR rotors).
You are better off getting a really high quality pad, which increases brake torque.
brake torque is (Disc radius * clamping force * coefficient of friction) / 12
so the CF of the pad can make a large difference.

The purpose of the bigger rotor is to dissapate the heat so the rotors do not warp so easy.
I have big GS-R calipers(stock pads) and 10.3 rotors on my CRX utilizing the 91 EX knuckle with rear disc brakes.
That thing stops on a dime but the rotors warp after a few months so I really do not see the point in just changing just the caliper without the bigger rotor.
Kind of reverse science. If you want to stop better then what you got then I would go for a bigger rotor using the stock caliper.
Also you should get some better brake pads then stock like Axxis brake pads. This is good for street use.

well im not too worried about warped rotors
just wheel compatibility
i have no problen going out and buying new rotors every few months
hell they only cost like 19 bux a piece at autozone
