Default DA Brakes

I'm just posting these b/c it's one of those urban myths - lol. I have CRX SI rims all around and guess what I have DA brakes in the front and guess what my rims fit - LoL. If anyone would like to see pics just post and I'll try to get them up later or just provide an email and I'll sent you the pics.

Good Day,
RH.

Get a grinder and grind down the lip of the caliper and you are set. hope that helps. Spray paint it with Krylon Anti - Rust Black paint and your set. Want pics. - Let me know.

Good Day,

i used a 1/8" spacer, but 15" fit perfectly, i'd rather not grind anything on supsension.
now answer that, are there any wheels that fit over the 12.6" wilwoods?

What did you grind down that has to do with suspension ? Absolutely nothing - all you are grinding down a bit is the lip that goes over the caliper - no big - doesn't do anything negative to the car just looks nice with those big DA brakes tucked in the back. Plus, DA's all around , 88 accord lx-i MC, and DA Prop Valve - and you are riding with more then enough brakes.

PS. Another myth - the lx-i MC is a direct bolt on - no flaring or rebending of lines.

Good Day,
RH.

i already have GSR brakes with a prelude MC installed. i'd just rather not grind material off suspension/brakes, including wheels, calipers or knuckles.
driven is in the same shoes as i am, looking for a light, good looking 16" wheel a tyres.
