That was on another site and about the old 11" CL setup for DX knuckles. BrakeExpert made a mistake, he had a few setups and didn't watch his inventory, i.e. he sold a setup that was incomplete and after the buyer of about 4 of his setups sent money, he was unable to complete them for a few months. If you check with those buyers, everything is squared up now and all is well. He's a good guy, just takes forever to ship, but hes never screwed anyone by taking their money and not shipping out a part or something.

i have 17CL15VN calipers but with 25T brackets. does any1 know the difference between 23T and 25T brackets? and which car they are from? i plan to bolt onto an ek hub so im not sure if they would both need to be machined the same amount.

BE2 · 09-09-2009, 03:14 PM

the 25T protrude toward the wheel 2mm more. when modding brackets for the 4x100 conversions, they get machined the same amount though. The 25T allows for a 2mm thicker rotor in its throat. Sort of useless in civic/integra land, those are used for the accord and CL people

Sad thing Brake expert is not longer in this forum site, I bought a set of ITR calipers for my 96 DX and they are still working flawlessly, shipping didn't take too long.

By the way, anyone knows were I can find the matrix of applications and possible upgrades he posted in this thread? I need to check some of the conversions on that matrix.

Thanks a lot.

can anyone confirm this with first hand experiance?

Something doesn't sound right there.

If it is correct, then it sure doesn't sound like a good idea . . . it's way too much rear brake. You don't need vented rotors back there.

thanks 4 the reply. i found that audm bb6 and dc2r both use 25t brackets

BE2 · 09-15-2009, 11:20 PM

You may want to double check that, because I am 100% certain that both those vehicles use the 23T bracket.
