Title: Rear Brake upgrade for ppl with GS calipers in front
Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on May 25, 2009, 01:53:56 PM
so i know some ppl upgraded front brakes to GS calipers so thsi would through rear brake bias off balance and couse nose dive, so is there anything can be done. im sure there is i just didnt search yet but i think i seen it.
maybe just brakets and bigger rotors for OEM set up without spending a lot on aftermarket bbk set up

i seen that fast brake kit has it but i need something with regular solid brake rotors, no i dont want sloted or dimpled


ok Intrerest list for ppl who want to get Brackets and get rotors themself. if we get at least 5 orders then we can get it for $120 from Paul, plus shipping im sure, Paul correct me if there is mistake. ill ask on v6p as well

1. Me  (paid)
2. Jiraiya_13 (v6p) (paid
3. ADI
4. Mike bluek24a4 (v6p)(paid
5. evo6011



im sure some ppl from v6p would be interested

There are a couple of rear upgrade kits out there, pretty much all of them are relo brackets for the OE caliper with 12.2" Honda Pilot Rotors.......

oh so thats where rotors are from. thanks Paul

is it possible for you to make brakets for this thing

Post by: timot_one on May 26, 2009, 12:11:03 AM
Hmmmm.  I'd take one too if it were possible to fabricate the brackets.  I just need to do a rear drum to disc swap first.

I believe the kits with rotors are only $250 from both fast brakes and revolution brake, so I really couldn't do it any cheaper.

well i cant buy those couse rotors are not solid oem kind. so let us know if you can do brakets and we can find rotors.

im sure more ppl will be intrested Paul if you can do them

Sure I can do the brackets and I have seen slot/drill rotors for the pilot of Fleabay. If we can get enough people together I am sure I can knock out a group of brackets with the hardware, I already have the fastbrakes kit on my car that I installed 2 years ago before I got my milling machine.

sounds good. should i or you start new thread about possible """"group buy"""" for this brakets.
i will have to get OEM blank rotors(i seen brembo for $76 each on tirerack

maybe some ppl on v6p will want some too but its up to you. im sure if you make it, ppl will grab those like candy

yeah, just wanted same set up all around the car since ihave brembos in front with ebc and ebc in back that i just put on so hope i can do swap soon so i dont have to get new pads again

Ive been doing a little research on prices of brembo blank rotors. the cheapest i found was 45 each.

Front - http://www.importrp.com/product.php?pro ... =38&page=1 (http://www.importrp.com/product.php?productid=111059&cat=38&page=1)
Rear - http://www.importrp.com/product.php?pro ... =38&page=1 (http://www.importrp.com/product.php?productid=119048&cat=38&page=1)

just my 2cents

Probably somewhere betwenn $125-$150 a set with the correct hradware, but to really make this feasable for me time wise I really need to run like 5 sets at a time due to machine setup time per machining operation.


Title: Re: Rear Brake upgrade for ppl with GS calipers in front
Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on May 26, 2009, 10:39:31 AM
sounds good to me. even though its about same price as for fast brakes but at least i can pick my own rotors


Title: Re: Rear Brake upgrade for ppl with GS calipers in front
Post by: NVA-AV6 on May 26, 2009, 11:33:20 AM
Maybe I will see if Excellerate can pull together something for us on new rotors and pads.....


Title: Re: Rear Brake upgrade for ppl with GS calipers in front
Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on May 26, 2009, 12:41:31 PM
interesting idea. if they would just make the brakets and we can pick our own rotors, it would be nice

I may be down to improve the my rear brakes also. If you can work out a group buy with a solid price I could be in.

Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on June 04, 2009, 03:45:47 PM

  I want to say yes but I have drum brakes and it will be some time before I will be able to do a rear disc swap. So I will have to pass on this unless you guys really depend on me and then I will send the money in so we can make this happen.

Sorry for all the delays guys but here are some pics of the first one during test fitting. I will be driving around on it this weekend and as long as all is well. YOur should be shipped by Tuesday. As it turns out I had enough material to make 7 sets so 2 are up for grabs.
