    no DC2 have smaller brake master cylinders than DC2R's.
    im sort of in the process of getting information on how to make DC2R/EK9 calipers fit under 15" wheels. it is possible, but the design of spokes and offset will determine if they fit under 15's.
    the machining may be done at many places...brake specialists, machining specialists....etc

    i did the research a while ago and apparantly civic ek4 vti-r wheels clear the dc2r brake calipers. so 15" wheels are fine.

    there are spoon brake conversion parts available which i think eliminates the need to shave or machine the ITR caliper brackets (maybe someone can confirm?). The parts available are 3mm spacers, 4x100 282mm rotors, and longer hub bolts. Maybe some 1 can also confirm if these parts are legal? My knowledge is that spacers are illegal..

    DC2 uses 15/16" BMC whereas as type R is 1" BMC.

    are you sure?, well on my master cylinder its stamped as 1 inch, and i believe dc2r use the exact same size..... so thats a upside, so it must be either the same as dc2r or has different internals to that of dc2r, since it came out of a late model dc2, prove me wrong though

    And as far as making the brakes fit, just use bigger rims lol, grinding off metal off the caliper i dont think is such a good idea, though it does depend how much u take off.

    again, on mine, its stamped as 1 inch, so im confused as to what size the bmc is. although it was from a late model dc2 so than, maybe honda might have up rated the bmc

    yeah man.. if you ever come across someone who does. leme know yeah? would be keen on this upgrade.

    btw, yeah I got stockies on atm.. it seems as though there isnt much room.. so i agree with you that i'll have to buy some new rims.

    okay mugen.. so you just got the DC2 master & booster? how much did you round that up for? did you go to the wreckers?

    i brought the rear disc conversion with BMC + booster for 300 off someone wrecking a dc2, he had everything i needed so i didnt end up going to any wreckers, give or take, any where from 100 - 150 i would assume your suppose to pay lol, i think ur better off gettin it off someone whos wrecking a dc2, cheaper than any wreckers, but if u cant, wreckers will be last resort..... As for the work, DIY all the way, putting in the Booster was a pain, had to remove my seats to get under the dash to screw it one as well as the pin to the pedal, than as for the actual fitment in the engine bay, was a pain, very little room for something thats much bigger than oem one lol

    If u can find type-R BMC+booster for simialr price, id get them as well, atleast u know its made for each other

    thanks buddy.. i'll keep that in mind. But yeah, if it'll fit the CTR.. it shud be somewhat easier to install than the ITR one, considering its similar design.

    btw.. wouldn't the CTR's calipers be similar to the ITR's in terms of stopping capability? So why not get the calipers from the CTR, rather than having to do some risking mission in grinding metal.? but i imagine it would be rather expensive. =='

    you know what.. I'll just get new rims.. stuff all that trouble just to keep my stockies. LOL

    ek9 and dc2r are the same
    only difference is the control arms

    some ek9 models didnt have abs

    you can use any brake booster from a ek9 or dc2r with the 1nch bmc

    if your interested in the ek9 set up pm me

    upon closer look, some preludes, and accord use the same pads as ek9/dc2r, so id assume they are infact using the same caliper, as the part numbers of the pads are the exact same, but what i need to know, would the bracket be interchangeable on civics from those other models....

    Dc2r fits on ek just need to retain the control arms. Also if you want bang for buck get the crv setup it's the same size as dc2r just gotta grind a bit off to fit it.
