even though u gave the stuff abck, the problem is the nipple on the bottom. you cannot effectively bleed a caliper with the nipple facing down, since the air in the lines will rise to the highest level possible. if you had switched the caliper r->l and l-r you should be ok. would have easily fixed the bleeding issue, and even if your MC is too small, it would have produced enough pressure, even though pedal travel may have increased very slightly.

Pedal travel increased a shitload.. the brakes just didnt want to give me good pressure.

I am going to install my 4 lug again & see if the pressure issue still exists.

so you put the rear discs and calipers off an S2000 on an integra? what hub did you use?

what exactly did you do? I'm curious because the guy I bought my S2K front calipers off of still has some rear stuff I could buy off him... CHEAP.

I don't have them yet... still sniffing around to see what i can find out (like your bleeding problem) I have EP3 brackets in the rear.... It works but I like big brakes... any idea the size of rotors...

I also would assume that i could get the rotors re-drilled to 4X100 not sure about spacing... I have no idea how it would even sit on the hub unless I just buy them... I'm trying to figure out how close they are to the NSX rear calipers (or close to it because i'm cheap) I would rather not spend 500 + rotors for the rear..

I ended up giving the 5 lug back as I could not get the rear calipers to properly bleed as they were mounted with the bleeder facing down.

Why did you not pull the caliper and the rotor off (leave the caliper hooked up to your brake lines) Flip them the right side up, get the air out of the system and then re-install... once you get the calipers bled you would be able to push the piston back if you did not have it on a rotor....

Did you ever try that?

But I'm still tryin to find rotor size.... Anyone?

I was not happy with the fact that it was not complete itr suspension, hence I took it back.
