not really, but mind you I only drive to the city and back atm so I havent really maintained them let alone used them heaps... That sounds like the right idea though. Save me a lot of money...Quote:

on a side note though, if you have 240/242 whatever brakes... how do you upgrade to the 262/282, what hubs?
I think I'll just take the car for a run on stockies with new pads and fluids and see how she goes. Just a reminder that this is just prospective and won't be necessary for another 3 months-ish, but cheers for all the knowledge!
Dc2 vtir 262mm is direct bolt on to eg hubs. 282 you need either dc2r or first gen crv hubs
honestly i think you will be fine with your stock system but get some good pads and rotors and if u need you can up grade later, honestly to expect 100kw form this stock car isnt gonna happen even brand new the car was rocking what 75 kw? intake and exhaust wont give you a 25% increase in power over what the car was doing when it was new. i think that honestly this money is beter spent going to more practice track days...... that will give u better times.
I think it's still necessary to replace the knuckle/hub to put the vtir 262mm on the EG, right?Quote:

It will be a good news for me thenQuote:

In the UK we bolt MG ZR 282 calipers on (EBC blanks were cheap in UK), run prelude calipers with a little shaving and have 282 setup on our 262 hubs. If you can get hold of both those parts any easier then DC2 parts here, maybe try that?
