didn't think there was much point in posting this in the Civic FD section as it probably hasn't been done before.
I've got newish FD1 1.8 which will be getting alot more track use and I'm limited by quality brake pad selection, so I've been think about upgrading the front rotors and calipers.
Anyway I've come across some cheap Nissin Calipers off a 2003 Dc5R, so I'll have a much greater choice with perf pad and Rotors along with better braking perf.
By the looks of it the larger 300mm Rotor (up from 282mm) and Nissin Calipers will comforatbly fit inside the Enkei RP01 16x7 I'm already running, so would there any reason why this conversion wouldn't work ?,
would the inside suspension componetry be an issue ? Cheers
