So I put on some CTR / ITR front calipers today.

[Partizan]

How much do those cost? And what about the gsr ones?

 

[Evan.]

Looks sweet, so you had to grind the inner caliper bracket and the inner side of the pads?

Yessir. Once I get the 11.1" rotors though, I dont have to grind the pads anymore. Just re-drill the rotors. And then I can bolt on s2k brakes OR the 2 piston NSX calipers.

How much do those cost? And what about the gsr ones?

I got the calipers for $100 shipped. The GSR one (with the perf. pads) I sold for $108 shipped.

Woot for $8 in profit

kind of, I dont have performance pads YET. They are in the mail. So really, I spent about $150 on the ITR setup. Woot for $42 loss.

Looks nice buddy

 

[buzzbombtom]

yeah the grand tursimos use a 2 piston setup. also what brake fluid are you using now? did you have to get a new profortioner valve?

 

[Partizan]

So for the gsr ones, how much are they better than stock ex ones? Do they just bolt on without any modifications?

HG fluid DOT 3 (Honda Genuine). A proportioning valve is NOT necessary, thats mainly for converting to rear disc so that the fluid is flowed to the rear all the time, unlike drum where it goes to the rear when you apply the pedal.

A bigger master cylinder is recommended though, I have the integra 1"

So for the gsr ones, how much are they better than stock ex ones? Do they just bolt on without any modifications?

Yes, the bolt on to the EX / SI models. They hold are larger pad. If you compare them to ex / si similar to how I compared the GSR to the CTR, youll notice a bigger difference in pad AND caliper size. Is it worth it? Ill let you be the judge, but IMO it definetly was.

[Evan.]

[JDM-JNKY]

Well I'm gonna drop some loot on the whole CTR 5 lug suspension as soon as I sell my other car.But the caliper's are nice good job.

 

[Dusty Hale]

Evan, I'm surprised you haven't killed this thread yet...

I still think it's funny that you had to grind the pads. I remember when you came to the 24 hour shop after that. You were covered in crap! Wish I could have seen you do it, but I needed smokes.

Anyway, good job with that. Doesn't make any scratching noise or anything.

 

[Snorism]
