The cheaper way to convert to 280mm brakes

[grifty]

what's the centre bore size on 262 kunckles? 56.1?

btw found this on h-t
"the caliper you'll need is known as the 17CL15VN front caliper.
the 17CL15VN is one of the biggest single piston calipers honda produces.
you can easily identify this caliper from the stamp.

this caliper can also be found on:
97-01 ITR,
97-99 CL V6,
91-95 legend,
96-98 rl,
95-98 tl,
92-94 vigor,
95-02 accord v6,
91-97 accord wagon,
97-01 crv,
95-01 odyssey,
92-96 prelude vtec
& 97-01 prelude"

waiting for pictures of install

not 100% sure on the centre bore size but the mini cooper rotors centre bore is the same.

I'll do some research myself too interest in this option too

Good stuff mate

Used this setup on my daily/track car for two years without issues, Mini Rotors work really well; like OEM.
Also using this setup on my current build, got my mini rotors from the States for $80 delievered.

Gonna head down this road in the next few days, I have to ask though, did you have to modify your lines in any way? Or it did it fit right up?

They fit perfect. The same size line and bolt is used for the brake lines. Only modification you will need to do is trim the dust shield around the caliper.

Good stuff, and any year BB and calipers fit fine?

[grifty]

Yep as long as the have the same caliper code that I posted in the original post. Would most likely be a BB4 or BB6.

Repped. Good thread.

Thanks grofto

How do they go clearing rims? Do they clear most 15" setups. IE Fat Fives, EM1's? Aftermarkets?

[grifty]

No Idea, but this setup would be the same as any other 282mm.

From my research they fit under Fat fives, don't know about the EM1's though.

One thing I have found, that should probably be noted, is the difference in models. I have to get mine ordered in, and they asked if it was R50 or R56. R50 is fine (2004-2007 iirc, 4x100, 280mm, 56.1mm cb, although be careful, this varies wildly), but some of the R56, even the non-S models, showed a 292mm rotor and different centre bore. Just a heads up, not sure if it's valid, but this is what I was told when ordering the rotors, so yeah be careful, some people don't know what a model number is...
