DeLaSoul Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Finally! been looking forward to this update.Its looking great is that mate! proper job! How long until you get it back?I will try and visit the fabricators more often for updates!Not sure when the car will be finished tbh. It was originally supposed to take 2 weeks but I have asked them to do a few more jobs and they are now only working on the car in between other projects. They had an ex works DC5 Integra and a Suzuki rally car on the go so my track car is low priority. I'm in no rush as the quality of the work so far is outstanding so I don't want to push them.

I'll let the pictures tell the story 98 spec ITR hubs with custom carriers6 pot calipers I can't wait to fit this lot to the car and test the new rear setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 wowee!! this means some new wheels as well then 6 pots are huuuuge whats the size of discs 320mm I was hoping to keep my wheels but I wanted the bigger hub bearing and drive shafts My "old" wheels are unmarked so I hope I can get a few £££ back on them. I went for these 6 pots as the pistons are different sizes. Theory is that the larger piston engages first to bring the pad in gradually and reduce snatching of the brakes. Have to test that when I get the chance. I can't remember how big the disc is, but I can measure it when I get home. I ordered this kit back in November and the bells and carriers had to be custom made to fit the ITR hubs, slept since then.I have a set of larger rear discs and updated carriers to fit as well, but these use the standard rear calliper. Larger disc (even with same swept area) = more braking power. Also saved me buying more bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
