Big Brakes Kits for G1 and G2

Dave C ver2.0 · 08-19-02, 09:14 AM

I haven't fully checked this out yet, but they do list G1 and G2 applications (under Honda not Acura).

Imagine the haul down you'd get with the 350MM (13.78 " if I did the math right) rotors with 6 pot calipers!

Edit: Legend applicatrion is 12.6" rotor with 4 pot caliper. Cost $2295. This is about the same as the Brembo RL upgrade from Comptech but has a Legend specific bracket (I hope).

Wow, those look like very nice brakes. $2200 is just a tad high. $2000 would be reasonable. But I have to save money for other mods right now, so many upcoming mods.

Dam, those are phat!!!

But $2200 US is $3100+ CDN, not to mention shipping, taxes and duties.

If I ever win the lottery, I'll keep this company in mind.

isn't it nice to have that problem?

If that's to pricey then get AEM prelude kit and some Type II calipers and make the custom bracket yourself. Good luck.

People b!tch about no aftermarket for the Legend. Then when someone finds something new all they do is complain it's to expensive.

Check out what REAL big brake kits cost and you'll see this kit is perfectly reasonable.

How do you think the quality is of these things? This will definitely be a mod for me after I get my Legend a little more go. That way I can slow

You know, I was actually thinking of doing the first option you listed, but then I realized that the Prelude kit would be like the Type I with 23 mm rotors. But the Type II caliper is made for a 28 mm rotor.

You can get Brembo kits for $2000 if you look hard enough, that's the only reason why I suggested that $2200 is just a tad high.

Those look just right! I'll communicate with them soon,must be east coast,all I got was a recording.
I realize they are expensive, but unless you're going in a straight line, I'd much rather have brakes over h.p. I've had a lot of low h.p. cars(Mini Cooper vintage racer,Lotus Europa,etc) that could make most of the powerful cars look pretty silly.

those l ook awesome!

It will be on my l ist, esp when I get FI

Dave C ver2.0 · 08-19-02, 08:52 PM

As for quality; look at the cars they have application for. Ferraris, Bentleys, Vipers etc etc.

For the $$ challenged: Look at the Ferrari kit prices.

Everyone should note their holes are cast into the rotor. Not drilled. Only ones doing this I know of.

Not having $$$$ for a Big Brake Kit is a nice problem to have.

MUST WORK OVERTIME NOW.

Is this just for a front kit only? I don't see a rear kit.

Civic/CRX/Legend (All models listed above) Front - 322x32/4M5 - $2,295.00
