Brake question - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

hotboxn · 02-01-2012, 07:19 PM

Looking for input. I'm in the market for brakes. Had originally decided on Project Mu front and rear rotors and then the s2000 brackets up front w/ hawk pads. Here's my dilemma... Will the dc5 brembos fit front and rear? Aren't the dc5 type r and the s2000 set up the same way w/ sizing?

bump! anyone? Is there a difference between the mounts for a dc5 rsx and an ap1 s2k?

I know that the Spoon Monoblock calipers are the same for the s2k and rsx. I know that those do fit on the CRZ. Might want to talk to Tony from Basis, he might know more. (this is only for the front, I have not looked into the rears at all)

For the rotors themselves, CRZ and RSX hub size is around 64.1mm and the s2k is like 70.3mm. I am not sure if that effects anything.

Another option you can go with is Wilwood. They offer both front and rear.

Wilwood 12 Inch Rear Big Brake Kit w/Combination Parking Brake Honda CR-Z 11+

Wilwood Superlite-6R 12 Inch Front Big Brake Kit Honda CR-Z 11+

I am thinking about getting the rear ones only and powder coating it to match my front spoon ones.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the help kronzonly! I think I should be able to do what I want to do then. I appreciate the input.
