Is there a specific reason you want ITR rear calipers? If I were you I'd be looking for the lightest disk setup I can find, the rears on these don't do much work.

 

does modern cars with ABS have proportioning valves or the ABS pump will do this automatically?

old cars without ABS require swapping prop valves that came from cars with rear discs.

 

How come you say not to use Type R rear calipers, pads and rotors when the both the Type R and none Type R have the same 4 lug nut rotor?
Because i can only find the Type R (GSR) ones for sale https://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/d...sc-conversion/
and all the none Type R ones i have found are way to expensive like $300 AUD a caliper.
Thanks Branko21

 

How much total can this conversion be done for?

 

Will rear disc conversion work with 14" rims on my GD base model? Or do I need to upsize to 15"?

Looks great--nice work!

What disc conversion brackets are you using in the back?
What did you do for parking beake cables?

 

Hi, a couple of q's...

-What is the difference in size between those mini and oem disc diameter?

-Do the caliper bracket from the 14' accord has to be used(i suppose) or do the caliper fit on the oem fit caliper bracket...?

-Did you upgraded the brake lines, if so, which did you used?

-Did you upgraded the brake master cylinder also?

 

Hello there
the oem rotor is 10”
the Mini Cooper is 11.5”
the accord caliper and bracket must be us
or you can use a 05 Acura TL bade model
the Fit caliper and bracket are to small
I’m still running the oem hoses and the oem masters cylinder the brake pedal feels great but the stopping power is great the the oem bbk let me know if you need more information

 

Nice!! Thnx for the info!! Ill let you know if anything else comes up to mind!

 

This is the info for the kit talk to Keving his a cool people his in China and you have to pay him by PayPal and you will get the kit

 

There is still a drum e brake but you don’t have to replace the cable the oem work with the kit

 

Elpapas, thank you for that post! Very informative / good info

By any chance, do you know PN's to share for those who want to do this mod?

 

The kit has its own bracket.

If you have a GD, I'd be cautious... because I haven't seen the kits for GKs used on GDs or GEs, so it might not work.

 

For the 1st and 2nd gen there is a video on YouTube from fast brakes is I recall the use a ep si cable rsx caliper I don’t recall the rotor but they tell you what you need

 

So... why did you post a GK brake swap, that doesn't work on a GD... in a GD thread?

 

Because it can be do but the thing is that you still have with this kit you still have a drum brake as a e brake and you don’t have to change the cables that is the best of both worlds and less work

 

It’s just that you guys get to pick if you want the e brake in the caliper or not

 

Using the inside of the rotor as a drum is a tidy design. I'd be most concerned about sourcing proprietary replacement parts from a small business in Taiwan. Aside from emailing them for a transaction, they don't have a sales channel.on their website and on a quick internet search, they seem.to lack a substantial distribution channel.

 

You have to take a chance I did and I think it was worth it the e brake thing I get it but I have a 05 Acura TL type s and is the same setup and on the Nissan g35 and g37 is also the same thing the e brake is in the inside of the rotor.
The parts look of good quality the rotor you don’t have to worry about for a couple of years,in the Acura I had it since day one for 14 year and I have not need to change the e brake shoes
the bigger rotor on the back is great and if you do the front with the Mini Cooper rotos the is we’re the money is at you car will have great stopping power
