Rx7 Fc Front brake calipers to Civic Ek

EK9/DC2R front caliper are single piston
NSX front caliper are 2 pistons.

We usually use 282mm Prelude rotors and redrilled them to 4x100

PM me if you guys need pricing for spacers and rotors redrilled

If you did want more pistons you can go spoon setup which use oem dc2r/ek9 brake pad size but with more force with 4 pots

The nsx is 2 pots

Everyone uses dc2r setup as it best though for what you got just need to upgrade mc

Make me want do same to 282mm dc2r setup

Can someone post up total price for parts

As far as pricing goes, his my list:

1. dc2/ek9 1 inch master cylinder + booster $ 150 - 250
2. Ek9/ITR/CRV Calipers $ 150 - 250
3. 282mm Rotors $ 100 - 500 (depending on what u use and branding etc etc... Contact JDMyard for prices)
4. Brake pads $ 100 - 500
5. 3mm Spacer (as on JDMyard) $ 55

You can either machine the caliper bracket or use spacers

Sorry give wrong info guys, didn't know the Ek9/Dc2R are only single piston. In that case, make me even more want to do the Rx7 4 pistons caliper converison. I will price up Rx7 calipers converison here very soon.

shaddup with the dumb brake calipers question eg. DC5 BRAKES ON EK

lol, thought u knew that..... regardless how many piston it has, the EK9/ITR setup still gonna bite hard with good pads and rotors, and its been proven time after time, on track and with hill climbs....

but hey if its cheaper, let us know, mite b keen on it in the future... gl with it champ

What size disc will you be using on your rx7 setup?

Are you going to track your setup or use onthe street

And got at the moment?

IMO best go dc2r/ek9 setup as it works

But if you are willing to spend around $2k you can get spoon 4 pot setup which is still hood for pads you can buy aftermarket cheap

Far as I can see it, EK9/ITR setup design to stop a 1100kg car and Rx7 setup design to stop a 1300kg to 1400kg car. What do you think?

Going to use 282mm rotors

At this stage street, made be track late.

Ek gli setup at the moment.

Because I don't want to spend $2k that why I going for Rx7 calipers setup.

I had a word with Ray from Auto Racing Technik/Technik Tuning regarding this. He will check if he has any pre fabricated sets of the rx7 kits left over.

They have tested this setup on EK's and dc2r's, on the track, and have found better results from Nissan 4 pots.

lol, you're still going to have the same braking as a dc2r/ek9 setup with the rx7 calipers, all you'll have is better heat control and more even pressure across the pad.

I would say less than dc2r/ek9 as you going have less surface area but as you said lil_foy tiny bit better heat control and better brake pressure

I know dc2r/ek9 brakes are cast iron, heavy
Are rx7 brakes alloy? Bit lighter?

That the only reason I do it (less upsprung weight) but then again I would just stay with 262mm da9 setup I have atm with good pads and disc
In you case it upgrade ek4 262mm
enough said by me but ask all the k series eg ad ek what brake use most will say dc2r setup

I personally use a 282 dc2r setup with good pads and rotors, they overpower my tyres (205 RSR) so easy, personally I doubt he'd be using the extra heat benifits anyways.

OP just get some crv/prelude calipers (same as dc2r) and some decent rotors and pads, they will function just as good as rx7 brakes and you'll have less mucking around trying to get them to fit.
