rear brake upgrades?

[sonikaccord]

I'm in the same boat. I'm using the '06 RL calipers in the front so I definitely need a rear upgrade. I read somewhere about someone using the nsx rear calipers. All he had to do was modify a rear bracket. I can't find that thread though. That may be an idea.

To be effective you'd need more than a caliper upgrade. I'd be more concerned with the diameter of the rotor back there. That's actually something that could allow for smoother braking in normal driving also. The caliper already locks the wheels up as is. Unless there is an aesthetic purpose, I don't see the point in doing only a caliper. You can hardly justify the rear rotor increase enough as it is.

I'd have an adjustable prop valve as well. I agree, it's no point in upgrading the rear if you can't control the braking force between the two...and it looks better, imo.

Done the fronts with rl. what can be upgraded on the rear discs ?

^ 4-lug. And he'd be oversteering like a mofo under extreme braking with a rear bias.

With an upgrade to the front brakes, an upgrade to the rear should be a no-brainer if you plan on doing any kind of performance driving. Especially with as much as our cars understeer. But you still want a front bias.

it works great.

im just looking to do something with the rears. it looks weird having giant ass rotors in the front and stock in the rear. haha

Haha same here! front looks bad ass but rear is eh. I left my rears alone for now, didn't even paint them. Just bought better pads for now til more info is available.
