DC2R brakes on EM1?
Anyone know if it'll fit?
I got the stockies on atm, perhaps ill have to change rims? spacers? etc.?
just wondering if i could just uprate my brakes this way, rather than buying some blardy expensive aftermarket set.
-
if you mean the whole set including front kunckles and trailing arms then yes it will fit but you would also need new rims since its 5 lug.
you would also need the Master cylinder and brake booster from the DC2R aswell.
-
you can use DC2R front calipers, instead of going through the expensive way of 5lug.
you use:
-DC2R/EK9 calipers
-Prelude 282mm rotors 4x114 (must be re-drilled to 4x100 to suit your car)
-Machine 2-3mm (search this up) off the calipers bracket that mounts to the knuckle.
NOTE!! i have never done this so search more if your interested. and this is for the front only.
would also be wise to upgrade the brake booster/master cylinder to DC2R/EK9 version, but EM1 version will still do a good job.

oh crazy!.. thanks guys.
=D

if u go full 5 stud conversion off a dc2r u will need to re use ur standard em upper control arms
-
hmmmm interesting, i was too thinking about going dc2r, but what about ek9 brakes, same as dc2r?
im in similar dilemma, but i already have 282mm rotors in 4*100, Dc2 BMC/Booster in place, just need calipers n pads to make it all work lol.

well i would imagine the V6 accord caliper is the same size because it does have to stop more power and weight.
-
the guy in the HT thread didnt change his brake booster/master cylinder..
but then again, his car is newer. The stock set up for his car is most probably more sufficient then the ancient technology lying within my car. LOL =P

indeed, but i went the extra effort of doing rear disc conversion, as well as the BMC and booster conversion using Dc2 ones. Dc2 BMC an booster ive been told is the same as dc2r, so ur better off paying less for the dc2 one than dc2r ones.
I do believe 16's are the smallest u can run if ur going to type-r brakes, so if ur still running the oem wheels, which are 15's, i dont think they will clear the caliper. Im running 16's so i should be fine id think lol
The only thing im not so sure is the grinding part, very sketchy on that part, an who or were can i get it done..... Ive used a angle grinder before, but i wouldnt bet on my own skills LOL
