Re: (kengs)

Yes, I would also like to know this...

Reason, I always seem to find good deals on DC5 Brembos, so if it did that would be great.

Re: (kengs)

do you need to swap hubs because of the offset issue? would it be possible to just run a spacer and then make a custom mount bracket?

Jeff, I'm not sure WHY you even need hubs. I just looked at the price and ran away

Nope, I sure didn't know that. Are the calipers heavier or lighter?

Are they a multipiston design?

Bolt right up w/no clearance issues with the commonly used wheels in the +50 to +38 range?

What size pads are used?

What rotors are used? How much heavier are the rotors, if they're different?

What do you do w/the rear if you put TL Brembo on the front?

That kit is also not complete, as custom bleeders need to be drilled. The four piston calipers are directional and the DC5 mounts the caliper behind the front wheel. This causes the bleeders to be on the bottom when the directionality is correct on the DC2.

I currently have a new set of DC5 calipers that I am looking to install. The cost wasn't a big deal as I purchased them for dirt cheap. I am looking at the company Brake Zone to manufacture custom rotors for my application, which is a DC2 GS-R. The S2000 rotor dimensions would work for me, but I need the 4x100 bolt pattern. Hence, custom floating rotors.
