i need some info as to which conventional brake rotor(accord and prelude) i can get to change out my 4x114.3 brake rotors.

my type r rotors are wearing out on me... the surface area is way too distorted to resurface.

i would like to know if i can purchase an accord or prelude rotor in the 4x114.3 spec to just change it.

 

92 si non vtec prelude rotors but you have to space the caliper from the hub

/thread

 

back from the dead..cause i have the same problem

...how do you space the caliper from the hub?

...if anything i have heard all i have to do is buy GSR rotors and just have them re-drilled to 4x114...i am just trying to find the easiest solution. thanks

 

you can also upgrade to 92-96 prelude vtec 11" rotors...

all you need is the Prelude calipers, pads, backets and rotors..

Put a 2mm spacer between the bracket and the spindle, that eliminates the clearance issue mentioned above... bolt the rest up, re-bleed the brakes, good to go.

Also.. if you ever need to replace the front wheel bearings, you can use 2001 civic front wheel bearings. I did mine about a month ago. I just have to figure out which ones for the rear

PM me if you have any questions

LOL!

 

get 86-87 acura legend rotors, i had the same prob the day before track day. you might have to shim the rotors with some large washers (in between rotor and hub) because the stick out further away from the hub than the stock ones and so they wont rub on you r calipers.

pm me some info.

 

hmmm j/w why do they HAVE to be JDM? the 94 - 02 accords(i4) have 4x114.3

 

the rotor hat has a different offset

 

because the accord 4x114.3 are an 11 inch rotor, andthe 96 spec itr are i believe 9.25 and they wont fit with the 96 spec calipers, thats why the have to be jdm. or atleast with the same diameter and offset.

 

cant u upgrade urs to 11" ?
again, why did u switch to 4x 114 instead of 4x100? was it cuz of rims option?
sry for the n00b Qs...just wana know the concept behind this..

-Thz

 

you can upgrade to 11" but you need the 98 spec caliper or the prelude caliper to run the larger rotors, and you can even rut the nsx caliper but with shims. i did it cause i got a good deal on the whole package, but now its a pain in the *** trying to find replacement rotors. i dont see to many civics with 96 spec itr rims, so its kinda rare.

 

here is everything you need cause i have never found direct answers from any other thread

if your going to keep everything stock and not upgrade calipers these are the parts you need

the calipers are from a 94-97 gsr
the pads are from a 94-97 gsr
brake lines 94+ gsr
rotors 92-96 si non vtec space the caliper how the guy mentioned above
e brake cables i havent confirmed but i believe 2000 civic si

any other questions pm me

 

so washers between the rotor and the hub or between the caliper braket and the knuckle?

i heard it weakens the rotor and makes them prone to cracking

 

the question still remains, does any one know how to get oem jdm rotors?? i have been emailing every suposed "jdm" shops to see if they can order them but i havent gotten any replies or even gotten a couple of off the wall answers like "use accord ones"

has any one successfully replaced the rear set of 4x114.3?? any help would be appreciated.

 

i recently sold Brand NEW SPOON (oem) rotors 4x114........
but u should be able to get them from spoon, look into a spoon authorized dealer

 

but doesnt japan have there own version of autozone or pepboys?? thats really all i am looking for. where do the japanese guys get there remanufactured oem parts from??

 

trust me get GSR's redrill them, i wouldnt worry aboutthe quote on quote crackin because you are goign to be road racing it so it isnt goign to be under high operating temps......

 

convert the front to 11" prelude... OEM supremacy

 

im not going to get gsr and redrill them, because as often as i warp stock ones i dont want to risk them cracking. plus whats the point of buying a new set of rotors and calipers after already upgrading?? if i can find a place to get jdm rotors then my problem is solved. so far the 86-87 acura legend rotors have been the right size, just not strong enough. plus having shim them dosent make me feel better.

so no one knows where to get remanufactured or even oem jdm 96 spec itr rotors?? (4x114.3 lug pattern witha 9.25 diameter)
