Ohhhh I get you, had to take a look at the photos again to see that. Cheers man


EDIT: Sean did state in an earlier post that "The rotors once pushed back by either the lug nut to hold it in place or when you put the rims back on it forces the rotor back into place perfectly snug.", would this be taken into account? I'm not sure how you would accurately suss it out when the wheel is on, also not sure how much tightening the wheel on would move the hub inwards. Not saying he's wrong, just providing food for thought and would maybe like someone more knowledgeable to comment.

In all my time I've never even considered the wheel being on making any difference.
If it doesn't fit correctly without then I wouldn't rely on it in any way. Not worth the risk.

Of course the extremely easy way to check this is by spinning on a couple of lug nuts ( Sean mentioned this I think) to pinch the rotor on to the hub. I actually always do this when fitting new stuff there anyway (assuming there are none of the stock rotor bolts in place).

You use the wheel nuts to hold the rotor in place while doing all the work on the caliper.

Anyone know if the mini cooper pads (that go with the cooper caliper and rotor) will fit the 4th gen caliper?

No.

You need to stick with the known calipers which are Honda ones.

And by that he means pads. You need pads to fit the Honda calipers this upgrade uses. But luckily there are a LOT of options, ranging from dirt cheap junk to OEM to high end performance and race pads.

To be fair, after the first posts with the actual information, it disintegrated rapidly into bickering. lol

The original post is what really matters.

The bickering is just dumb, but when has that ever been stopped on any forum.

Updated the write to add an OE rear big brake upgrade using 2002-2003 Civic/RSX rear calipers with caliper brackets with no modifying necessary.

Please read the write up again and see the new information.

 

[nickatnight1989]

i wonder if we couldn't apply this or a similar concept into making the dpha wilwood calipers fit an 11" rotor setup. i like the 12.2" kit fastbrakes has but im personally nervous it wont fit over 16" wheels.

Update:

92-01 Acura Front rotors can fit our rears for another source of Big Brake rotors (Credit: Cesar Geovanny Puente):
*Note: He is producing a billet rear bracket adapter to bolt NSX dual piston to the rear brakes for our 3rd gens.
