Very nice! Thanks for doing this. I really need to do this upgrade.

Me to!

 

Anybody that has done this upgrade know if it fits in the stock 16" rims?

 

Yeah they fit fine. I'm using the stocks mounted with snow tires right now. Upgraded the rotors, etc. to rsx-s last spring.

 

Also, your list is incomplete. You would need a brake hardware kit as well, such as this one.

Dorman HW13506 Disc Brake Hardware Kit : Amazon.com : Automotive

 

I'll be sure to add it to the list

 

...and added. The list has been updated.

 

Sub'ing to this for future use..

 

Update the list to keep everything current

 

Just had a quick question, does it matter about the year for the rsx-s so I know what to serch for?I domt really know if it changed at all

 

Nope, it doesn't matter what year RSX-S they come from.

 

:thumbsup:

 

Glad you guys are finding this useful

 

So these items, and still use the oem crz caliper on the rsx bracket? What do you do about the oem crz abs dust shield?

Im in the uk, so am i right in thinking over here, i could use s2000 bracket, ep3 calipers and discs(rotors) for an equivalent uk set up for a bbk?

Yes and you get rid of the dust shield.

You don't need the calipers, just the pads and rotors.

 

Just to be clear - cr-z calipers can stay, just need to replace the caliper brackets, pads and rotors, right?

 

That is correct. You need what's on the list. Brackets, pads, and rotors.

 

trying to get pics of install in here

 

I have everything except the pads and the hardware kit. If they haven't been added by the time I do my install, I'll grab some.

 

unfortunately I have other priorities before I go for bigger brakes (like repairing the dent in my drivers door :'c) but this is definitely an idea that would interest me. sub'd

 

Do the dust shields have to go for US model?

 

Yes they're in the way of the bigger rotors.

 

So I've recently come across a great deal on an rsx type-s BBK, my question is, will a BBK made for the rsx fit the crz? It comes with everything, rotors, calipers, brackets, and pads.

 

Is this set up compatible with both the front AND rear brakes?

 

No, not the rears.

 

Glad I asked then, what's a set up for rear brake upgrades then? (link to another thread would be a sufficient answer)

Thanks J

 

There is nothing available to replace the rear calipers. All you can do are rotors and pads for the rear. I think having a torsion beam rear suspension kinda killed the chances of a rear brake swap with another Honda... Even the Euro FN2 Type-R, which also had a torsion beam suspension, had "regular" rear calipers.

 

:glare: of course...

so for my clarification and for anyone else that reads this thread...the front can follow the wish list posted in post #1

and the rear's can be upgraded using THIS POST

ROTARS =

Centric specs for read Caliper on CRZ. Anything with these specs should fit.

PADS=

...pads that fit an S2000, front as well as the rear, since the CR-Z acually uses the same rear pads as an S2000.QUOTE]

REAR CALIPARDS NONE UPGRADEABLE


Correct?

And will that rear upgrade work with the stock 16"

...You'll probably need a spacer depending on your wheels.

 

The spacer is for the front only if you are running a caliper with opposed pistons, like the Spoon or HPD. These calipers naturally stick out further, because there are pistons on both sides of the rotor, so clearance to the wheel spokes are now an issue. This is all dependent on the wheel though and there is no sure way to know what the clearance is like until you have the wheel mounted... Single piston calipers, like the stock CR-Z setup or the RSX-S rotor/bracket upgrade, don't have wheel clearance issues like that.

The rear will never need a spacer to clear brakes as there is really nothing you can do for them except upgrade them with performance S2K pads, CR-Z specific aftermarket rotors and SS brake lines.

great stuff...great stuff
