Acura Big Brakes on the E30!!!

Well i got very very very Well stopping brakes for the money and they work better than the rx-7 ones.
And the calipers match almost perfectly with the master.

I actually like your setup, it's the nut swingers that think there's no difference between a Massive kit and an RX7-calipered hack job that I can't stand.

Oh yeah.
I mean when dealing with your brakes if you dont take your time your an idiot.
But im sure there are people out there like that.

There are. This is why I pay people who know more about brakes then I to make them for me, I trust them to get it right! If you know what you're doing, more power to you!

Thank you sir.
Glad i can reason with some people out there.
Also, im somewhat new to e30's. I know a good bit about them, but i have only owned mine for almost a year, been driving it about 5 months.
Thats why im so new to this site.

A popular upgrade for Integra folks seems to be the Acura Legend caliper. Similar dimension but it is a dual piston unit and same mounting as Integra caliper.

Pad's look like they are hardly covering half the rotor.

I have to agree with this statement.

Any explanation?

I will admit it does look like a decent upgrade and if dressed up nice it could also look really slick.

But back to the question of the pad only covering half the rotor surface.

Did you really hand grind the hub? Don't rely on the bolts to position the rotor...the hub does that. If it's even a half millimeter out of round you will likely have balance issues.
