Acura Big Brakes on the E30!!!

[EMC]

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.

YIKES!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

^^ why when you can do something very similiar with rx7 brakes as well? i'd spend 40$ anyday over 1200$

Because it's not similar, it's a cheap alternative. You get what you pay for.

if i was doin an LS swap i dont think id cheap out with a junkyard BBK, pretty sure id go with a massive kit.

are the piston bores matched well with the master cylinder?

just wanna make sure you did your calculations

Pad's look like they are hardly covering half the rotor. Lets see more of the Ls swap.

I did a shit ton of measuring and re measuring and they are NOT going to fall off i gaurantee. And this is why i needed bigger brakes............
