here are my big ass brakes im installing tomorrow, shit man they are huge compared to stock rotors, and of course with new rotors have to get the best pads!! these brakes rotors barely fit in my 16" rims so if you ever thing about getting them make sure you got big rims.

320mm (12.5")

the million dollar question

Where did you get those discs?

DomWoo · Post by **DomWoo** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 5:21 pm

well i didnt measure the stock brakes but here is a picture of hte two together, i am thinking they are a about 10"

from the measuring i took for the bracket i have to make it gained about 2" in diameter

i was incorrect about the size of the rotors until i went and measured them, they are 12"

now for the million dollar question

they were $100 US dollars each and are made for acura integra 90-00 and you can find them on ebay or any site for civics or integras

the only thing that is different is that little screw hole that holds the rotor in place and the size of the hub, not a problem when all you have to do is put your studs in and mark a hole then drill the hold and tap it and your ready to go, the brack is actaully easy to make to, alot easier then the one tenzo made for the integra

Nice...

I saw two big discs like those laying on the floor some months ago on the shop that my car is and something like this came to my mind.

i think its time to look for them again

This is for a nubira or a lanos?

Those are the regular size of the integra rotors? Or this are upgrades?

What about the caliper, you have to change or the stock fith them?

These are very nice indeed, but....

On the factory rotor, its is centered using the outside diameter edge of the wheel hub. If you are using wheel bolts only to center the wheel, they will never be true. Its in a way similar to using larger wheels without the center rings - no matter how many time you get the wheels balanced, they will wobble. Same idea applies to the rotors. I would strongly recommend getting a custom center insert done, so you can center the rotors using the ridge on the hub.

Looks very good otherwise.

Keep us posted!

yeah i thinking about the hub size and what i can do about it, i was thinking of centering and drilling a hole and putting the screw in it but i dont know if that would work as good as a spacer

actually they will fit any car with the same lug pattern as the lanos and has 16" or bigger rims

the integra brakes are only 10" brakes also so its a upgrade kit

as for brackets i have one finished, i could have had them put on and started to break them in but i took a friend to go test drive cars and didnt have time till 6 pm to start on the bracket

so here is my idea, tomorrow im running down to the mechine shop and having them make me two perfect brackets using mine for a templet

if anyone else would like a set of these brackets let me know i can probably get alot made but i dont know how much they will cost and i will not be liable for anything that might or could happen

pull you over why?

Ok, the procces is like put a regular rotor just making a hole to fit them rights? Any other part needed?

pretty much just like changing your brakes but you will need to go get some flat stock (flat steel to your specs) and drilling the holes and relocating the caliper, also if the hub is to small you willl need to space it like GSIturbo said because you will be going down the highway and the rotor will off balance

i used 1/4" thick steel because there wasnt much room
