Can't decide if I like that from bumper. Looks ice from the side, but unsure about the front

Nice

Alright guys, Brembo calipers are back from powdercoating. Just got and installed the Brembo caliper rebuild kit from the UK. Tomorrow is the big day! If all goes well, I will be sporting a complete DC5 ITR front suspension with Brembo's.

Fingers crossed

 

[DA9_GSR]

Brembo's are in!!!! The install was easy. Everything went well. The EP3 CTR wheels clear the Brembo calipers with no mods. I'm loading pictures now.
Stay Tuned

 

[DA9_GSR]

Here's the deal. I installed:

- JDM DC5R front steering knuckles
- JDM DC5R front LCA's with balljoints and balljoint bolts
- JDM DC5R front sway bar w/ bushings
- JDM DC5R front Brembo calipers
- JDM DC5R front brake rotors
- JDM DC5R front brake pads
- JDM DC5R exhaust manifold with new gaskets
- JDM DC5R catalytic converter with new gaskets

Everything fit perfectly. No modifcations. Bolted right in. And the EP3 CTR wheels just clear the Brembo's. The EP3 CTR wheel also sit flush with the fenders with the wider DC5R front suspension. Here's the alignment sheet.

As promised!

Nice!

Just enough clearance! :lol:

 

[Danger200]

Yeah, that is proper close. They need some stickers on them calipers.

Already working on it. I'm a little concerned they might be wiped off by the wheels. LOL.

 

[Aaron87]

What a fantastic build thread! Love everything you're doing here mate, keep it up!

 

[D4N H]

Was gona say, stickers might just be the I tiny bit to much to close to the wheels!

 

[DA9_GSR]

Just went to the track with the EP3. She performed very well. I'd almost say confidently that she liked it.

Here's pics.

We just had a MASSIVE Honda-Tech 8 car show last weekend in Toronto Ontario Canada.
Official number was: 1'648 registered cars in attendance. It was awesome. I didn't have enough
memory on my camera to capture it all. Here's a picture of me cruising back home. I will upload more
when we're done editing.

Cheers,
Ryan
