simple Brake upgrade question

[Yossarian]

I searched the brake forums but found no definite answer, maybe i just missed it. If I do the RoH/big brake conversion, can i clear a 15" wheel or do i need 16"?

if you do the 99 CL 3.0 rotor with prelude calipers, you should be able to clear 15".

what caliper bracket would be used with this setup though? Stock? Prelude?

[Yossarian]

Prelude probably.

[accord junkie]

depending on the setup u might have 2 get 16s might not b a bad idea anyway they would prob look nier than 15s and u open mre options for brand and performance and look.

i think you can do the rotor over hub conversion as long as you use the cl rotors and not the prelude ones. i believe the stock calipers and brackets will work fine with that. but i cant say for sure

It depends what you mean by "big brake upgrade."

If you are talking about Prelude rotors, then yes, you can still use 15" wheels, and you will have about 1/2" clearance on a stock Honda wheel.

You also want to make sure you use the 98 Acura CL PREMIUM hubs, because there were two versions, and they were not both rotor over hub.

As for the bracket, the correct number for it is 23T, but it is for the Prelude, Integra Type R, Legends, the early NSX, and various Accord V6s.

Some of those cars used the 25T, because the rotors were a little wider. If you get Prelude VTEC brackets, you will be fine.
