Im thinking of buying the fastbrakes front 11in brake upgrade. It comes with just the rotors and the brackets so you could use integra calipers for $375. it seems kind of expensive since you have to get pads and calipers. Do you think its worth it? what are you opinions? I was looking at these so i wouldnt have to change my knuckles and hubs. I need brakes quick since i just installed a JRSC on my B18c in my HF CRX.

search around and find out which VW carrado (sp) rotor are the 11.1" rotor in 4x100. (these rotor are the same thing as ITR/prelude vtec/accord V6 rotors) its just they are in 4x100 lug pattern which i assume is what you are running.

second option for rotors is to purchase prelude vtec rotors and either YOU drill them out to 4x100 or have a machine shop do it. i don't suggest this but there are a few people running this setup. i perfer the first mentioned because you can just go to kragen or where ever and get your rotors.

now to deal with calipers, go with the ITR/prelude vtec/ accord V6 in 94. (easiest thing to do is order a caliper for a 93 prelude VTEC) these can be had remanufactured for 50 bucks after a core charge.

so there is your basic "big brake" setup OEM style for 200 bucks. now i would HIGHLY suggest you up grade your MC and while your at it run some SS lines. since you saved all that money by going OEM over the willwood setup.

if you tell me what car you have i could help you with the MC and which one you should purcahse. (i need to know car/model/ and if it has ABS or nonABS.

ooo ya if you need the MC it can be had for under 100 bucks.

Does any body know if the calipers will bolt right in or will the calipers need brackets?

sound like a good idea to me. go for it

 

First, I think you'll need the integra calipers. Second, those integra calipers bolt onto the bracket, which in turn bolts onto the stock caliper location.

...i think
