prospective EG K24 brake setup advice

[rc_]

Great info there, Massi. Might look into that one myself. Still fits under 15"rim, yeh? Is there a good range of pads available for the CRV calipers?

This setup works pretty well for me, got the front calipers from a CRV for $50 from a wrecker in pretty good condition. Clearance to stock dc2 fat fives and 15inch cp-f's is more than enough.

Also don't dismiss how much difference you can get with just new pads and fluid. When I put the CRV calipers on they had some newish looking bendix pads in them, I tried them out on the street and I was a bit disappointed at the pedal feel and initial bite.

Changed to yellow stuff pads, noticed a dramatic change in feel straight away after bed in on the street and very good on the track. Have done a couple of track days on them at Sandown and haven't had any sign of fade. I just used the Nulon super dot 4 fluid which has held up well and is super cheap.

I don't think you need to spend ridiculous amounts on BBK when you have other much cheaper viable options to try first. If it doesn't work out then you are only out maybe a few hundred for the whole setup and can probably on sell the kit pretty easy.

Edit: and yes the pad range for the crv caliper is fine, they are the same pads as for the dc2 type R so many performance oriented pads out there.
