wow forgot bout that.... hahaha Kinda awkward considering thats me asking lol
umm wat u need for brake upgrade, cuz im bout to upgrade my brakes and got told id get away with using current MC
for using ITR calipers

[espionage85]

but doesnt spoon say that he just changed his mc, and bolted it straight on which made a noticable difference?
im not to keen to change to itr callipers yet coz i just installed brembo rotors not long ago lol.

[stevo716]

yes he does and this intrigues me too, might wanna pm him and double check
i just bought itr calipers lol

[espionage85]

so with instaling itr callipers youd have to get bigger discs right?
or do they run with the oem size that we have?

[stevo716]

yeh bigger discs
283mm x 23mm
prelude rotor the same, there 4 stud just got to redrill to 4x100

[espionage85]

ahhh ok, yea i think ill wait until my discs need replacing lol.
ill do more research on the ITR MC, hopefully its a straigh swap

[stevo716]

yeh let me know man, cuz i might have to change depending if my MC cant hack it

[gumbs]

Unless you're doing it for bling I wouldn't bother, I considered it a couple of years ago and ended up just sticking good pads and fluid in and I couldn't get them to fade in the hills. A few guys that did track work had the same results. Swapping break boosters is going to cost you a fortune unless you go second hand, I had a vacuum leak on my stock one and I couldn't find an after market replacement under $700 and that didn't have type R tax on it.

[stevo716]

i need to change rotors and pads anyway
and i found some itr calipers cheap, im after more braking power too, cuz i want to track so ya

[rage_against]

i have type r brakes, they are so much better than stock if you can find a cheap setup go for it

[stevo716]

yup ive bought em there on the way gonna upgrade the rotors to dba 4000 series slotted, and some decent pad, got braidedlines in
and race brake fluid shud be pretty epic

[espionage85]

damn, let me know how it goes stevo!
and pm your total money spent, id really consider it if its not to expensive
