TypeG has them. I got a quote from our trader here about a month ago and he asked about $2100. I heard this set up would be very light..compared to stock and also Brembo 4 pot calipers and AP..
By da way TypeG told me its not really a good idea having it on street. He also said it should be considered only if your going to track your euro..Im not really sure would it be worse in term of brake comfortability?
Nobody bothers to ask the owner of the car above when there are a million doubtful concerns?
Whatever Driven has said is accurate and point forward. He knows me on a personal level and there should be no doubt on his technical knowledge in aspect reference.
In the mean time, expect to purchase specific offset aftermarket rims to clear any type of big brake caliper kit. This isn't going to be the cheapest upgrade and without $4K~$7K, don't expect this to become a reality. Unless you're doing competition work or similar levels of driving, this won't be necessary.
True experience or textbook answers? FYI - I outbrake countless Porsches and Ferraris on the track with the above product.Quote:

who said anything about a text book? This was an opinion fowarded to me by steven at centrax auto. As I said, just stating what i heard. I was considering the upgrade myself but was recommended against it. What caliper system are you running now?Quote:

I'd love it if he did question the basis of what I heard - the more I know the better and I know Noel is a fountain of knowledge.Quote:

Noel is THE Accord Euro over at tsxclub. All his mods, were all done back in 2004 when we were still scared of voiding our warranty by dropping in a measley K&N panel filter. LOL
Anyway, don't we all visit the main 2 Accord Euro forums? tsx.acurazine.com and tsxclub.com.
^ haha good point... maybe the more keen owners do, but I'm sure a fair few don't visit the US forums.
i quite sure you can bolt a dc5 jep spec brambo onto a accord euro. got to do a suspension swap.
Y - Thanks for the re-intro again. I'd try to stick around more and address what nobody has accurate answers for in a technical aspect. Otherwise, everything else can be referred across with relevant linked sources when it's available. Truth is, I'm on OH as frequent. I just don't have anything to contribute.
Chris - I didn't want or should I say, needed not to question you because I know who is feeding you all the answers. Your love for Zeal happens to come from the same source prior to knowing the key differences of Tein and Zeal. In fact, you wouldn't have realized if I was in Centrax at the same time as you if I hadn't told you so. I always drop into Centrax if I'm in QLD for business. Apart from that, I happen to be fairly close friends on a personal level with the Centrax team and the key Centrax visiting clientele.
Between me and Steve's tuning differences, Steve is PRO his products and his believe is very "JASMA" biased. I on the other hand go for race homogated/proven products to achieve what I seek. We have strict common knowledge technical and general on how Hondas should be tuned, but our parts selection is almost entirely different. He can argue with me until the cows come home that Spoon calipers are rubbish (Which I'm sure he'd have told you in some lines of that sort) while I'd continually argue Endless calipers are a virtual overkill without proper horsepower output. And even that, what he's running on his DC5 is more ideally placed for a 400bhp output car instead.
Overkill for him? NP, he's a master distributor and he can build his customer base upon. Best application for specific models? He isn't the person to speak to. He'd forever stay away from stuff like Amuse and continually preach the excellence of Fuji whilst my Amuse exhaust collection will perhaps equate to more than anyone has carried/seen in the entire nation. He is a skeptical tuner, I on the other hand, work on proven technology regardless of continent and origins.
Vtec inside - One is a MacPherson designed mounting bracket, the other is a double wishbone bracket, both don't fit and have virtually different mounting offsets. Unless you can find someone with enough skill to fabricate a proper bracket, it won't work. Besides, those aren't fabulous products anyway. Brembo is good, but not the factory supplied grade. It's like buying a Honda, you have a Jazz to an NSX. The factory supplied grade Brembos even on top spec exotics aren't NSX-grade. You'd have to pay for their upgrade kits with real caliper design and technology. Some of the greatest junk of Brembo calipers come off the DC5, Z33, R33, R34 and GDB/C, CP9s.
