Does anyone know of a manufacturer that sells full-floating, front brake rotors for the S2000 that are the OEM dimensions? Thanks!

for looks/performance or weight savings? you are more than likely not going to see nor feel a different in these. also, do you track your car at all?

 

Actually they are for a DC2 Integra GS-R. I'm attempting to mount a set of JDM DC5R Brembo front calipers. The S2000 front rotors have the correct dimensions for these calipers with the exception of the 5 x 114.5mm bolt pattern. I figure that a full floating rotor can have the center hat changed more easily to the 4 x 100mm bolt pattern that I need.

So, this would tackle looks, performance, and unsprung weight! I just haven't had any luck finding many front rotors for the S2000. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

yes, these are made. Contact sherwin @ brakezone, http://www.brakezone.com

 

It looks like Brake Zone may be able to do it. I've got an email out with them. Thanks!

Brake Zone is a nice site, but i'm in Europe here.
I need better brake rotors than the original factory one both front and rear for my S2000. The original ones have worn off during a 10.000 km use, pads as well.
But I shouldn't buy another factory rotor again, as it sucks...

Any help would appreciated. Thanx.

 

remember that if the integra doesn't have a brake balance controller (i doubt it does) adding bigger front rotors will likely DECREASE the MAX stopping power of the car. The brakes will grip better with light pedal pressure, but not for "emergency" stops.

There was a good article in the Spring BOOST magazine (which I liked by the way, with the exception of the inflated power ratings on some of the cars...they had the Mugen Si, basically a Type R, with a claimed 240HP which only could run high 14s and a supercharged Type S with a claimed 300HP that ran 14s).

 

Thanks Steven975 for your help.
I have an S2000 (2002), not an Integra.
I also want to keep factory default wheels (rims+tyres) ATM, so I don't want bigger rotors/discs - I just need more cooling to the rotors, a better vented (with slots & drills ) rotors in default factory size.

ABS should compensate for an imbalance during emergency stop situations. Plus stickier rubber will favor the front brakes, compensating for the larger brake size. It should be pretty close.

I noticed in the Sept. 2003 Car & Driver four cylinder tuner article that most of the tuners did not upgrade the rear brakes. There was also no mention of brake proportioning valves. Stop Tech's site also has some good information on this subject. I'm hoping that I'll be close enough to tune with pad material.

Thanks.

they can help you in europe unless they have a "no international sales policy"

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying by increasing the front brake package with larger rotors and multiple piston calipers will "decrease the max stopping power of the car?" I have a feeling your understanding of brake systems are somewhat off the mark. If a overal piston diameters are properly selected to the master cylinder being used, there is no issue with upgrading the braking package, whether it be the fronts only or the front and rears.

 

I've just received a reply to my e-mail from Brake Zone. Thay have some nice solutions to my rotors problem. Thanx for you all, guys.
