Brake Setups-->whats the best for us 4th GENer's

[F20A CB7]

make sure your caliper bracket number and brake rotor thickness are the same number, example 25t wagon brackets need 25mm thick rotors and 23t would need 23mm thick rotors

if you do not match these numbers you will have either sponginess or stiff pedal effort

my coupe has pretty much the same setup as yours but 93 wagon rotor cause i am still HOR

Ok ill look at the stamp when I go to the yard, I need t25.. Ok got it, and about matchin them with the rotors, well shit I hope they won't b all spongy, ill be gettin I listed, wag bracket, and caliper, which should say t25 on it.

I got my set of napa rotors for $60. Theyre actually more expensive but i got a 50% discount through school. Anyways i have really been hard on them. And they still work great. with no warpage of cracking. Cracking is really more relevent in cross drilled rotors.

WHAT IS bREMBO BLANKS

Brembo Blanks are rotors designed by Brembo that are made of better material than OEM but instead of the usual slot, drilled, or drilled/slotted, they're Blank.

CD5. its the chassis code to the 94-97 accord.

Good i like the brembo big brake kit although it wount work when you have 15's

so what about an all prelude vtec setup wont fit?

[benjerman112]

Okay by no means do to much about brakes, but my old rotors cracked, don't mind keeping the hor setup. I was thinking about getting some brembo blanks and some decent pades. Will this help my braking any? Or do I need to upgrade to some bigger rotors, and it seems like if I get bigger rotors the caliper need to be changed also?

so am i understanding this correct?

use 98 acura CL 2.3 front hubs & brake rotors and they'll work with the stock cb7 brake calipers?

actually i used 2002 TL front spindles complete withe everything except the caliper, when i did my swap

my stock cb calipers fit fine and worked great

check out the 5 lug swap thread by da9b16 and you will gat alot of questions answered there

[Speedz]

hmm.. not really wanting to go 5 lug.. i already have a nice set of 17" wheels that are 4 lug LOL.. plus then i'd need to go 5 lug in the rear as well LOL

i'm mainly interested in the CL brakes to make changing brake rotors easier.. that hub over rotor design is shit.. rotor over hub is much better. dont know what honda was thinking when they did the HoR.

Yes you are, that will be a bolt in affair w/ the stock bracket and caliper.

rotor over hub......hub over rotor ?????????

thanks for that info, might do my stepsons car that way

[Speedz]

rotor over hub......hub over rotor ????????

not sure if you are unsure about the differences or just confused by my comment???

[oni_cb7]

well, you did explain it backwards...

the cb7 comes with a hub over rotor design, the CL is a rotor over hub design. When the rotor is over the hub, its a floating rotor (easy to take off), when it is hub over rotor, the rotor is bolted to the car.

[Speedz]

LOL, oops.. I know what I meant.. just didn't come out right LOL.
