This kit kicks @ss. I can't wait for the 2 pot rear.





I highly recommend talking to fasterbrakes if you have some money burning a hole in your pocket.

nice!

how much did it cost you for the set?

 

$700 Shipped. I had to do some small modifications to get it to fit under the 94 GSR wheels. (I think that they are a hair smaller than the 95+) This kit is worth every penny spent on it.

 

Nice kit! Heehee your wheels are like mine; they look awesome in the full-car shots, but up close all sorts of battle scars

 

Yeah, but when my friend offered me the wheels for $200 with decent tires on them I couldn't resist. Maybe someday I will send them off to one of those places that refinish wheels...

 

what kinda calipers are used? Wilwood?

 

Yup, the Wilwood super lights.

 

What size is that kit? what pads did you use and how long was install? and finally how much did u have to take off of the caliper?

How does it feel? Much better stopping distance and feel then stock?

 

Yeah, there is a big decrease in stopping distance. I can't tell you for sure until I upgrade the rear kit. Right now the car dives in a hard stop.

The rotor is 11". I am running the CarboTech Panther pads. The install took all weekend, but only because the 94 GSR wheels are a little smaller in the inside than the 95+ wheels. I had to grind the top finger that holds a bolt done some to fit it over aonther bolt, and I had to take 1mm off of the top of the caliper to get it to clear the wheel.

 

Looks great man nice job. Anyone know if the rear rotors on a 95 GSR needs to be pressed off or not?

What parts was included in the fastbrake 4 pot kit?


[Modified by GSR18, 9:43 PM 12/10/2001]

 

2 rotors (slotted)
2 wilwood superlite 4 pot calipers
2 caliper relocation brackets
mounting hardware.

pads are extra, slotted/drilled rotors are extra, 2 peice rotors are extra, and stainless steel brake lines are extra.

The price I have at the top ($698 shipped) was with CarboTech PantherD pads, no other extras.

 

You could've gotten a wilwood kit with a better caliper (Dynalite 2 vs. Superlight) & 2 piece 12.2" rotor for less! ($670). Just giving you guys a heads up... But still your kit does look nice

then he couldnt use this orginal wheels and would have to upgrade to 16" or even 17" wheels to use the larger rotor!

 

I suppose but when dropping that kind of money into brakes I'd figure your serious enough to get the best!

 

700 thats it SSHIT the spoon calipers alone cost 1800 or 1300 on sale

 

alex: Wow okay great overpriced spoon calipers are more expensive.. It's called function over being a JDM head...

 

I am into the best, I might upgrade to the dynalite calipers later, but I do not want to run 16's or 17's. First in order to seep the same final drive I have to run a 45 series tire. Now that is not a big deal if you live some place where they take care of the streets. I don't. My friend lost a 16" rim when he hit a peice of concrete that was on the road under an overpass. We didn't even see it. And there is no way that I am going to run anything smaller than a 45 so 17's are out. It all comes down to wanting to keep my final drive the same.

 

Actually the Dynalite is not a better caliper than the Superlite. The calipers were developed for different applications so they can't really be compared directly. The Dynalite is a small cast or billet caliper and the Superlite is a larger cast or billet caliper. The Dynalite uses a smaller pad than the Superlite as well.

I chose the Superlite because it has a lower profile than the Dynalite, making it a better fit for the 15" wheel brake applications I specialize in.

 

Brian, are you a member on honda-acura.net? I am talking to a guy about the kit that I bought and he has some questions. Go here for the thread.
