Re: 16v brake upgrade
Been looking at calipers and got a question is the s2000 a type of honda caliper or does it refer to the car? Have found ep3's that have s2000 calipers?

Re: 16v brake upgrade
Just done 262mm discs on to a 1.4 sedan with 282mm calipers.
But I had the calipers modded to fit rather than using spacers so the wheels are still hub centric.
Still got stock master cylinder and stock rear hubs. Brakes very well, but need to ditch the drums for discs and upgade the MC as there is increased pedal travel quite a bit.
If going fo the bigger still S2K or EP3 caliper, bear in mind the extra pedal tavel.

Re: 16v brake upgrade
Thanks for input Nominous
...so bigger M/C will be needed at some point then depending on just how much more pedal travel you have ??
Mine 16v has rear disc...dont know how that will affect M/C set up

Re: 16v brake upgrade
Dave will the exact same alterations have to take place on a 262mm caliper?
Im a bit worried that the 282 calipers wont fit under my 14"s...
These are the wheels over my 16v setup:

You are figuring 242mm discs and 262mm calipers?
I don't have any 242mm discs or the 262 calipers to compare against.
