Default Spooms. with installed pics!

Got these before last Christmas and finally I fitted them yesterday. I'm still running them in and already it bites hard. Initial feel was that the steering is much lighter. Ultimate test would be at track and I have one coming next month so should be interesting. Stock caliper and rotor setup have held up to about 5 track days so far and still going strong. The only wear I could see with the stockers are the surfaces of the rotors are very uneven... Enjoy.

How do you like those Dunlops?

The pictures showed up for me.

And he should've taken off the dust shields. I took mine off when I slapped on the smurf calipers.

Whoa. Just noticed the spacer. That's one craptacular looking spacer too.

Dunlops are noisy and I have yet to test them to the limit, hopefully in the near future track event I will.

Yeah, 'craptacular' spacer. I was desperate I the only one I can find at the time so can't be too choosy

Hehe. Don't mind me. Just doesn't look all that safe/effective since it's not hubcentric and there is too little material for the wheel to latch on to when torqued down.

BTW, I'm happy with the H&R 5mm ones.

Did you really need to run the spacer?
I'd have thought that the calipers would clear the stock JDM wheels even w/o need of spacers.
Otherwise I may have to pic some up for use with my 16" JDMs whenever I get around to putting them on the car.

They are Project Mu rotors.

Zygspeed - They are EDM 15" wheels. The Calipers would not clear these wheels. I probably only needed about 2-3mm clearance but have a 5mm spacer on just in case. Think I will try a 3mm spacer later on as I think they should clear. I think your 16" JDM wheels should clear without spacers.

Thickness of rotors?

Price? (afraid to ask, really).

Thanks

RJ I'd think the rotors would be of the stock thickness otherwise they wouldn't fit within the calipers. ??

If I remember rightly, I went briefly to 145mph and no noticeable difference with them.

There sick Calipers, I installed mine last winter. Since the pads don't have the springs to hold them in place like the O.E caliper, they do make noise at low speeds but, you gotta love the easy acess to the brake pads.

Nice,I had put wheels spacers on a civic of mine in the past and it vibrated like hell on the highway.Just wanted to find out if it was the spacers or the car itself.
