The dx brakes are 9.4" and have a weak ass caliper that squeezes about as hard as u could with ur hand. The eg6 has 10.2" rotors and integra gsr size calipers. It made quite a noticeable difference. I found myself over braking on my everyday trip to work and a lot less brake fade due to better heat dissipation.

Clearance is pretty close over my 15's but I think I can squeeze a bigger caliper in there....so maybe in the future ill do that.

Child, ur build is incredible it's what got ne into nodding my coupe. I was worried when I saw pics of ur crash, I did the same thing basically and had to replace my entire front end, and hmotors said they were out so I naught a front end off tamparacing. but anyway, just curious why'd u swap wheels? I like the old schools, new 1s look great too though.

Yeah 1000 for a rolling shell is kinda high, but I was desperate for a shell at the time and wanted to offer a price that wouldn't be refused so id be sure to get it.

2 reasons, one, I needed new tires and two, I wanted a wider set of wheels to fill the fender space and also to help cure some negative camber. I knew plenty of people who wanted to buy my wheels already so I sold em and got these. Kinda like a free upgrade on wheels.

Nothing good.....been eating away at my front tires. I aligned it myself and that stopped the super fast wear. I then had some slop in the steering and noticed my tie rod ends are busted, so im off to replace em tomorrow and re-align the car.


damn car is building itself haha, i feel like i never get to spend on what i want

Replaced my tie rod ends today and re-aligned the car. No more shaky steering and im going to replace my front tires because the constant incorrect toe angle destroyed them.
