Hi, I have a Civic EG4 with 240mm dia. front brake rotors.
I was wondering how the Wilwood 11" kit http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/WILWOOD-DISC-BRAKE-KIT-FRONT-HONDA-CRX-240mm-11-BLACK-/290466226529?hash=item43a122e161 compares to the 11" DC2R brake upgrade both in terms of cost and performance? :)
I hope to track the car at Mallala here in Adelaide, which is very hard on brakes.
I see that the ITR upgrade is the more common option. I hear that different knuckles are required for those starting with the 240mm brakes. I am curious if buying knuckles, rotors, calipers etc separately for this upgrade may work out just as expensive as the Wilwood kit.
As far as I can see, the advantage of the Wilwood setup is that you get a fixed caliper and a two-piece rotor, and of course it is a bolt-on with no need to change the knuckles.
As far as I can see, the advantage of the ITR style is that it has 5mm greater rotor thickness and you don't need propriatory Wilwood brake pads etc.
