Thoughts, comments, cheesefries?

Nice DIY there. The kit looks good too.

bad ass dewd, really helpful info

Excellent

man, it actually makes me want to buy a kit.
seeing how easy it is to install, how much are the kits again?

didnt see this.

good info Doc.

hmm, seems easier than removing the entire carrier assembly, best of all no alignment required.

$500 shipped, and the kits are built when ordered.

can you still get the original jdm ae100 kit, like you got for vamp..those rotors dont look to safe with the wholes drilled so close together

You can find them on ebay from time to time, but they're hard to locate. I haven't found a better solution to the redrilled rotors, but I've seen it done on other cars plent of times with not problems. If you think about how the rotors are sandwiched in between the hub and the wheel, you realize that they can't really fail, at least I don't think so.

Dear Sir,

I would kindly like to take you up on your offer of cheesefries.

I would like some seasoned curly fries

Redrilled rotors is somewhat of a common practice with custom brake kits. I've seen it done by larger brake companies such as fastbrakes with their "oversized" rear brake kit for Civics. But they're not my favorite things to see.

With the AE101/111 conversion the main problem lie in finding a replacement rotor. It costs about $250 to import the rear set (that's more expensive than the front set!).
