    yeah I know I could have really organized that post to contribute, meh.
    What if my contribution messes his car up or better yet causes him to search?

    Im having trouble finding how to make some brake parts swap over (in my case)... Im not crying, or starting threads first; Im online searching.


    Im working with what I got. I might even install a p12 on my semi-Stock F22A 5MT (ooh scary). In my case Im finally getting around to doing things, some might have the shot gun approach and throw everything up on the wall...

    I guess I'm a weak enthusiast with my method. And excuse me for just some what and slighty messing up his thread with diff brake options... You never know he could just do a Custom job. ? IDK but of course the thread was about something different than what I posted. My bad people.

      Rockauto.com man go to any car listed there under rotors, look for centric rotor pictures ... all the rotor info you need right there. Where do you think i got my info from?

        Slow....did you figure your brakes out?

        A couple years ago I had done some research on compatible factory rotors that were bigger. I think it was the Nissan spec-v that had brembo rotors from the factory that were drilled 4x114 and had the same offset and thickness as the cb7 but with a larger diameter. I found this through a VW GTI site that the guys were doing similar upgrades. Last time I looked (year ago) they were non existent to find. Not sure if you could source them from somewhere else though. I had cross referenced a lot of the info through DBA site, but they have since changed their rotor info tool and it sucks now.

        I have been working on a different kind of big brake factory setup that will require re-drilling for off the shelf parts. It will require a caliper adapter bracket, but from what it looking like it may just be a flat plate of steel with some holes drilled. Hopefully soon I will have it worked out and will post up then. Lot thicker rotors and massive aftermarket support for pads and rotors. I am prepping for a lot of track time and was unhappy with my cheap big brake kit's management of heat. Entered 2 braking zones at 100+ down to 45ish and rotors were blued and nothing left for corner 3 lol.

          the 05 mt tl has 12.2 for the front and the auto has 11.8. they are rotor over hub. If you can only find 5 lug rotors keep in mind they can be drilled to a 4 lug easy enough.

            To go larger would require converting to 5-lug. But even goin as large as 11.1" will require a caliper upgrade also. The caliper everyone is suggesting can be found on many more cars than listed above. I've got a thread somewhere with that information but I'll just relist them here for the heck of it. I'll also include which bracket that car will have.

            '91-'97 Accord wagon (25T)
            '95-'97 Accord V6 (25T)
            '93-'01 Prelude VTEC (23T)
            '92-'94 Vigor (23T)
            '96-'98 2.5TL/3.2TL (23T)
            '91-95 Legend exc. Type II (23T)
            '97-'01 Integra Type R (23T)
            '97-'99 3.0CL (25T)

            That isn't even the whole list. '98-'02 Accords got them too but I'm not sure of the caliper bracket. Good luck.
            Thanks buddy, this is very helpful for sorting out brake upgrade options
