here is what i thought
1. ex spindles - done
2. vtec lude rotors redrilled to 4x100 - done
3. accord calipers - done

problem= no workie, either the rotors are not going hub centric and they are hitting the pads on and off. kinda feels like the inside pad is rubbing to much, when i tighten the wheel down you can not turn the wheel at all. what am i missing here?

 

This is the first I have heard of a brake upgrade like this. Can you give me some more info

 

when you say spindles, are u saying just the spindle itself or the entire knuckle assembly?

 

spindle, knuckle, hub, whatever you want to call it. it fills the void between the upper a arm and the lower control arm. here is a pic of the parts i have replaced.

 

did you remember to grind off about 2-3 mm off the inside side of the two sides where the bolts mount up to the spindles??? the back side of the caliper mounts...?? get what i'm saying???

towards the bottoom, paragraph before the picture fo the calipers
"Before bolting everything on your car, you need to mill approximatly .115" from the caliper bracket surface where it meets the steering knuckle."

what model accord calipers did you use ?

 

Probably a dumb question, but are you sure your wheels are clearing the calipers on both the outside spokes of the wheel and the inside of the wheel?

are you using accord wagon calipers? cause those are the ones you need...they are the same as the ITR...

 

i am taking the .115" off the calipers, i now see that is the problem. will take pix and show how it all went together by the end of the week. i am sure this will work now. thanx

 

97+(?) itr = 90+ accord wagon = 96+ accord v6.... something like that.. i'm not totally sure.. what i am sure of it that these calipers should have the number "17cl15vn"... it's similar to the calipers in integra's, older accords, preludes, legends, and civic ex's "17cl14vn"...

 

they are the right calipers. i have all the right parts. i was going by an old article from hybrid.honda-perf.org and it said it all just bolts up and away you go. that is not true, you have to trim the calipers a little to clear everything.
