My brakes were shot anyways, I figure why not upgrade?
Specs....
Honda (Nissin) DC2R Calipers
11" rotors (redrilled to 4x100)
Axxis Ultimate Pads
They can come with SS brake lines too, I opted out of them since I already have them.

The kit is from Fastbrakes. They've been making this kit for years, and its been known to work quite well.
What makes this kit so fantastic is its sneaky, it looks like a factory caliper because it is.
It fits under 15" wheels (may not clear some factory wheels, but keep in mind the ITR had 15s).
Its CHEAP. This whole rig was $335 ($400 w/ SS lines). For reference, honda charges 112/caliper after core return and about $50 a rotor and $50 for pads for Civic brakes.
The calipers aren't that much bigger than stock... the effect on the bias and the ABS is for all practical purposes non-existent.
Simply fantastic, I can't wait to get these babies on.

There's a catch.... in order for them to fit, the side of the caliper bracket that doesn't mount to the car needs to be ground down 4mm to clear the rotor due to differences in the ITR knuckle vs. every other knuckle honda has made (this would be the side you see in the 3rd picture). Its minor, there's plenty of beef there. Other than that, this is STRAIGHT BOLT ON.

Those are sweet. :tup: When are you putting them on? You will have to let us know if you encounter any problems putting them on and how they feel, stop, etc.

i was waiting for you to post this since we talked on HT props to you man

Nice rug! Goes well with the hardwood floor.

Edit: Oh yeah, congrats on the brakes! We need pics of these installed asap!

for a second there i though u got DC2 5 lug brakes but i didnt see the red brembo calipers...nice upgrade tho

very nice I was wondering if this upgrade would work on a 7th gen. What is the stock rotor size for the 7th gen? Take some comparison pics and let us know how the install goes :tup: :tup: :_bow:

i'd like this upgrade in the future....i seen this not to long ago on here but can't remember whose ride

The guy in Thailand who's name is slipping my mind did a Prelude upgrade.... essentially the same thing.

the stock rotor size for mostly all civic's and integra's is 10.2' and the itr are 11'

wasn't it maybe itr front calipers and prelude rear....doesn't matter but i hadn't seen anything like it at the time

Mockup looks like hotsauce, good buy, best of luck w. the upgrading :)

edit: I *heart* Nissin brakes, my 900RR has a pair of 4 pots, great feel

Uh... what? :lol:
I did not understand three words out of that paragraph... and that's the paragraph I wanted to undestand! :lol:

Mockups... bah... you suck... cuz that combination you got there rules! So beautiful!









Can I have them for Christmas?


BTW, how come all the prices I see are over $450??? [EDIT] I was looking under the DC2R category... checked Civic, there it is!... lol

If I don't have any ABS, the ABS problem won't affect me, right? :shrug: I wanna learn!

It warns against slamming them without ABS because they'll lock, but it doesn't say you can't use them.

V Nice! Are they for the front only? What do you do on the rears?

damn i want those so bad, props to you

what kind of wheels are those and what size are they ?

dude, it says right there on the rim, Enkei. :_doh:

no shit their enkei but what model nvm i'll look them up myself

other thread he said they were custom so he won't tell price....16x8.....

Get these on yet? Any updates? I was gonna do this, but I dont know anyone who has yet - so tell me if they are worth it...

Sunday (I hope)

I hope so too, this is something that I'd be interested in doing. Will you be using an angle grinder to get the 4mm of clearance?

Awesome upgrade...congrats! Are you painting the calipers?

damn, they really fill the wheels nicely.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...ITRmockup2.jpg
is it just me or are you putting blue valve caps on these rims...and as for lug nuts...Ray's?

Enkei gives you blue valve stems with the wheels. In the interest of me not giving a shit (and not caring to pay for new ones), I'm using them.
I'm not painting the calipers (same reason as valvestems)
And yes to the angle grinder.
Yes to rays nuts... I've had them for a few years now.
