Nice.... These brembo's really stop you, very good on the track next to no brake fade

 

I want one!

 

that's pretty freakin' pricey though.

 

hmmm.. 17" minimum?

 

16" wheels fit and some 15" wheels will also fit.

 

wish I could afford that bling

 

I'm not feeling the look of the Brembo caliper. Much prefer Spoon.

What size are those disc/rotors?

You're much better off going with something like Stoptech's kit for the ITR. The rotors flow better, they are a fully floating design which significantly reduces thermal stress on the rotors (and helps preventing warping.) The calipers are stiffer and deflect less than brembo units, and the whole thing costs a lot less.

A much better choice in my opinion.

"Acura Integra Type R 1997-2001 Brake Kit - Front, 2 Piece Floating Directional 328mm x 28mm Drilled or Slotted Rotors, with 4 Piston ST40 Calipers, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, AXXIS Ultimate Brake Pads - Anodized Black Calipers."

i agree with the chicken. stoptech isn't as well known in the honda crowd, but they are a top (if not the top) quality manufacturer of aftermarket brakes. at sema, even the brembo guys were gawking at the stoptech goodness.

also, that brembo setup was made for a dc5, not the dc2. the stoptech kit is made to specifically work as a cohesive package with the R's oem rear brakes. you can't just slap on some big front brake kit and expect it to work better than oem. you can easily shift the brake bias forward, causing your front brakes to do all the work and your rear brakes to do very little to help, and make your stopping distance *longer*!

FWIW, here's the guy's auction on Yahoo Japan:

I'll stick to NSX calipers and 28mm rotors thank you.

And 15" R compounds too!

 

I'll stick with my setup that works on with most aftermarket 15" wheels!
$1500 SS Works big brake kit:
Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-T Type M 4 piston caliper
Milled aluminum adapter bracket
300mm Mugen (S2000) rotor

Yes, the rotor is backwards because this is a shot from the test fitting a couple years ago. The calipers have since been painted black and the ground off "NISSAN" spot is now smooth.

Did you finally get them on. Haven't really looked at your car parked over there at the G-6 building. Just glanced when passing by. Lost my license for 45 days yesterday. Have to do some paperwork for limited privileges to and from home and work. All for going 72mph on the expressway, damn these ridiculously slow speeds here. Though I do love it here!

 

I put them on and took them back off again. I'm waiting for my new rims to arrive so I can put the center locks in storage.

115kph in an 80kph zone! That sucks. Stay away from Kadena AFB base becauase they are issuing tickets for everything and ANYTHING. They tried to give me a ticket for my rollcage and lack of a back seat again while Igy got a ticket for having his license plate mounted on the right side of his car .

 

What the *****? Yeah I do not tread on to that place unless I positively have to. I hate that damn place, yesterday my gf was stuck at the gate for 1 hour because they just decided at 4:30 to lock down the gates. If any AF people here sorry, but the AF sucks *****!

 

Dee, any other pics of that setup?

This is what the calipers look like; I have a pic of the complete setup on an older computer...
