hello to every Honda fans..
i ve jz bought a DC5 and mayb the only thing i am looking to upgrade is the better braking system...
so could u guys kindly tell me where can i get either "Brembo or Spoon".. breaks.. and much are they? and wot u guys think of them??
thank you so much :)
Brakes calipers u mean?
Have you missed the Brembo badge on your brakes? Dude you already have brembos!
It's a Type R were talkin bout here!
If you've got an AusDM DC5 forget about Brembo, go for the Spoon. If you want the Brembo, you have to change the sway bar, Lower control arm and rotor too.
cost to spoon caliper is an arm and a leg
1. I don't see where it says he has a Type R in the first postQuote:

wynode look at his car under the avatar =P
Car: DC5 Type R
Before upgrading your calipers try changing your pads, lines, and fluid. SS lines made a big difference for me, feels awesome!
My mate just bought a set for Aus$1800 including adpotersQuote:

If u want a more agressive bite and feel then i go for braided lines, upgraded pads, slotted rotors and a master cylinder brace.
The standard braking is quite poor under load. It's a single pot caliper. The cheapest way is to upgrade the pads & better brake fluid see if that will be a little better than stock.
What are you trying to compare the brakes against?Quote:

changing to project my pads and AEM slotted rotors has made a considerable difference for me.
just get braided lines and brake fluid first, and see if it is sufficient. I didn't find the stock pads to be too bad.
This is on the AUSDM DC5R...

my opinion is with dc2r since they are about 100kg lighter than dc5r... with 4 pot like what you have got should be more than enough.... dc5r on the other hand is over weight....
Yeah man, i am looking forward to see if you can do under 60s ! :wave:Quote:
