Stainless lines

Yeah, I already have stainless lines. Wondering if I need "new" ss lines for a different caliper. Please respond if you have installed the 6 piston calipers and know if they need updated... thank you codeman!

i have the 4 pot kit on mine with the stainless lines i had previously installed, no problems with length or fitment, if the lines are still in good shape you should be fine unless the 6 pot caliper is that much different that it needs a longer line or different fittings.

Is it that one?
The DPHA calipers utilize the factory-sized rotor.

I thought there is a banjo bolt at the caliper but I could be crazy...

I’m running 16x7+45 Enkei EDR9’s on my Fit. I was considering upgrading my front calipers but am not sure if the 6 pot will fit a +45 offset. Any thoughts?

6 pot on 16s.

I finally got them in my hand and they nearly fit my 15x8 +28 Konig hypergrams, they were just shy. All this to say I think your 16s will be fine.

Wheels?

Anyone know where to get these wheels? Searched google for type-r knockoff/replicas and even with an image search can't seem to find anything in 16" let alone 4x100.

Does anyone know if the willwood calipers for the stock 10.2" rotors will clear the stock GE8 16" sport wheels? The diagram show a the caliper sticking out from the rotor where it meets with the wheel .840 I tried to measure the clearance on my wheels, but it's hard to say. I came up with what looks like 3/4"

My willwood brake kit showed up today. I'm still waiting on my stainless brake lines, but I figured I check and see if the stock 16" wheels clear the calipers. I attached the calipers to the mount and to my amazement there is 1/8" clearance between the wheel and the new calipers!
