Brake Conversions

[vuongkong]

Hey guys, just asking a few things before i decide to get a brake upgrade for my dc2.

will dc2r calipers fit on any 4 by 100 rotor?
am i able to swap my dc2 fronts to the back?
will i need an ITR Brake booster + master cylinder and what do they do?
can i do all this myself?

thanks for the help guys. :thumbsup:

1.dc2r isnt 4x100 its 5x114.3
2. possibly yes
3. do it as a precaution
4. i dunno, can you?

For Trism.
1. WTF has calipers got to do with the pcd ?

[trism]

sorry. my apologies

1. NO

yes you can fit dc2r calipers on 4x100 rotors...many manufacturers including DBA, RDA, Spoon, Mu Secret etc. offer 4x100 282mm rotors to fit on ITR calipers...

[trism]

the question was ANY 4x100 rotor

no you cant!!! they arent all teh same thcknesses, or diameters etc etc etc

you need to get one that is the same thickness, and as close as you can to the same diameter of teh original rotor

The easiest way to go about this is using DC2R hubs complete with rotors and calipers. Chances are you wont be able to use front brakes on the rear because of the LCA format/control arms are different f/r.

You don't have to use the ITR b/b or m/c but if you want to maximise it then you may as well.

Don't think you can do any of it with the questions your asking. Correct me if im wrong.

Only question i have for you is what are you using it for? Track days? If it's just street use i'd look into getting slotted rotors with uprated pads and fluid.

stop getting emotional, the "any" in his question could be refering to if it's possible to have one or more type of 4x100 rotors fit on the ITR caliper...

[quang]

if its street work i wouldn't even bother with slotted, i'd get a decent set of solid rotors and pads to go with, that should suffice for any street work. the money you save from not buying slotted can be spent on better pads which are more important.
but re-iterating
1. yes, so long as the rotor is the same as dimensions as the itr rotor, are there any issues with mounting of the caliper???
2. no
3. should probably get them, but don't have to
4. yes you can, its alot easier if you keep it as 4x100 as you don't have to change as much, as for the details you might have to search

good thread for you to read about brake conversions man

thanks for all the help guys, muchly appreciated!
lol any 4 by 100 as in does it fit ANY? i didn't mean 'every'. sry for the confusion.
i heard that the itr brakes will feel the same unless i get the ITR BB and MC is that correct ?

hey AE092 it's just for street use. just don't think the brakes are safe enough for me. lol. driving bigger cars like my dad's accord, the braking power is very much noticeable.

1. like what extercii and ae092 said, any rotor that shares the same dimensions as the ITR's brakes will be ok using the ITR calipers...dba rotors would probably be ur best bet, coz the biggest/easiest to find honda rotors available on 4x100 are 262mm from the ek4...

2. no - i wanted to do the same ages ago, but i was told that 'the front calipers don't mount the same as the rears...best off locating rear set up and converting it with all the supplied parts'

3. ur stock brake booster / master cylinder will be sufficient for accommodating the ITR calipers...it won't bite as hard as an ITR...but ur brakes will have a bigger heat sink...

4. if you had the wherewithal to accomplish this conversion, you already would have done it...

hey guys,

is it possible to place the itr front calipers (17cl15vn) onto 262mm rotors? i've seen this setup before but stock itr calipers are for 282mm rotors. how is this possible to bolt it on?

[trism]

also, you can get rotors redrilled to what you need, or even get blanked ones and get them drilled

[vuongkong]

yeah i know they can get redrilled but was wondering how they fit 262mm when they were originally made for 282mm. any info guys ?

If your going to go through the headache of that, i'd rather just buy an off the shelf big brake set up. They even come with suited-sized rotors too.

use just ek4/dc2 vti-r then. gees why use big caliper on small rotor for ? wanna over heat it much ?
