Brembodge findings

[p_b82]

Hmm i would have thought that there would be a valid reason why this route may not have been followed (the honda disks\calipers- rather than the effort gone in to use soemthing from a very different application and brackets etc...

I was aware that lowered cars did have a lot of issues with the setup - not sure how low mine will be now, but i dont think it was supposed to be much of a drop tbh...

Guess time will tell.

I think the reason they didn't look at the Teg/S2000 set up was because the kit is aimed primarily at the R8/bubble 200/zr, which has a completely different front upright, and possibly the lack of supply of Honda Brembos.

I know a few people have suffered issues, especially when running lower springs. However mine seem to have been fine since I fitted them 3 yrs ago. Had to play about with washers abit to get centered but sorted that with little impact on anything else.

Don't Honda use 5 stud pattern ? Or am I just been daft. Im sure my friends integra is 5 studs.

Yeah they do. I've thought about the hubs as a swap though.
The civic mb6 owners are more likely to know for certain.

Tbh though I reckon they'll be highly sought after and probably more expensive than brembodge.

Edit:
Dc2 hubs £100
Brembos: http://bit.ly/132bhSD £550.
http://bit.ly/1cKMqIE £700.
So £650ish

Perhaps the need to match the driveshafts.
New 5x114.3 PCD wheels.
£650+ maybe £300?

All starts adding up quickly.

Peugeot calipers: £200
Brembodge kit: £283
£500 maximum say.

mb6 owners fit 180 brakes as an upgrade.

There we go. Sell the 180's and the brembodge is even cheaper

Do they not bother with the ATR, CTR & ITR stuff then.

yes, they do, the usual honda upgrade is the accord type r twin pots with a 300mm disc, same caliper was used on nsx and a prelude.
that is a straight fit for the caliper and perhaps a redrill on the discs depending on the car.
this caliper is a great caliper, but weighs a lot tho. but cheap enough at around a ton per pair.
some honda boys fit the caliper to their std carriers which converts it to a twin pot 282 setup, we use different carriers to theirs so we need to upgrade the discs to 300 as well.

beyond that its the brembo gear, but at 500quid for a pair of second hand calipers, it makes new stuff like hi-spec look cheap at 700 inc discs.

So would the hubs fit do you think ? Or do you think the dimensions would be slightly different else where ?

if these brakes were of the grey reyland ZS then they were fitted from I cant remember what car now, my head says the red devil ZS but I am not sure.

I fitted new discs and pads but they warped very quickly and it was given that it was the pad overheating (ds2500) cost me a small fortune.

They were great for day to day. When I took them on track they were a pain in the ass I could do about half a lap before bad vibration i mean really bad.

Anyway not sure what was causing it i sold the car but i am sure washers were used from the original setup and moved over.

hope you sort it

edit just remembered they were the brakes from Sam's ZS, he had bad scores on the inner disk caused by the lower arm nut, Pete gave me a link to reduced size nuts which i used with new discs and pads
