CHILD'S *EK* ... finally i have an EK

[K00PA]

I was going to upgrade so to speak. My only want is to get a higher spring rate for the rear, I was more than satisfied with the dampening. I thought about going with PIC but I didn't realize that they now sell the same thing they did before for nearly double the price. Everyone boasted about them and now they skyrocketed.

Yup thats what happens when people ramble on and on about a specific brand...hell look at "Vision" now prices are retarded crazy!

Yo this weekend you down to roll to IFO?

Well I know what Spoon is, I'd just never seen the crane.

Eeeek!! Thats like knowing Ralph Lauren "Polo" and not the signature Man On The Horse, lol

With all that power I see why those brakes are needed.

damn a brake kit already, i was looking at that and the price didnt seem to bad. which kit did you go with exactly? there is a lot of them

 

[THEDARKONE]

he got this

11" Wilwood Dynalite BBK with 4POT calipers!

 

[CHILD]

^^^ yeah that.
I was going to go with the 11" disc with integra type r calipers but I figured what the hell lol. It's insanely close to the wheel weights in the barrel.

My car had all the same issues your current one had/ has. Shift boot doesn't sit flush with the knob, clutch pedal didn't have a pad (threw one on mine yesterday), my windows were gunked up with old tint residue.


Just thought I'd throw that out there.

My shift boot can't sit flush with this knob because I can't use a shift boot collar under it. Thus restoration business is annoying but always rewarding

i was looking into that combo with the mini rotors and type r calipers, but i prefer the wilwood. i wonder if the 12" with 4 or 6 would clear, it says 15 inch wheel but if you barely clear then i doubt it

 

[CHILD]

Twelve inch kits need 16's or a special rim barrel like the team dynamics wheel. 11" kits don't even fit all 15's regardless of the caliper. The 4pot wilwood and 6pot wilwood have the same amount of distance from the center of the disc.

hmm summits info is wrong then, guess im going 11". but im going to manual brakes so still debating which pot would be better for me, i need to get more details on this wilwood pedal setup too

 

[stcopley]

So all 12 inch kits will fit all 16 inch rims, or am i not understanding this correctly?

A 16" wheel is the minimal requirement in must cases for any of the 12" kits. There are very few 15" wheels that can clear the 12" brake kits, like the Team dynamics 15" wheel I mentioned (you can find them on fastbrakes.com)

A 15" wheel is the smallest usable wheel when going with the 11" kit. Not all 15" wheels will clear the 11" kits. That's why they mention finding your wheels specs and/or measuring to find if your wheel has enough clearance or not.

ill have to see if mine xxr 501s will clear
