Rotor over Hub kits

check out some of these. cant beat those prices. even with my honda employee discount i couldnt beat these prices. if you buy these kits make sure you get the ones designed for the Nissin calipers.

im getting the basic ROH kit once i get my debit card. i ditched my plans of going 5 lug.

I am glad you found that actually... considering how much you will spend depending on the junk yard you pull from. Those are all shiny new parts, definitely worth it and it is going on my list of things to buy in the coming month or two.

Also, I am guessing that we use Akebono in the front as well? I saw you discovered that we use those on the rear.

wow matt. deff something for me to look for. those 12.5" rotor on my legend capilers would be fluppin awesome and those earls brake lines are a must have

as far as the recognition for our brakes. apparently none of these guys know anything about our 97 factory brakes because i dont hear anyone complaining.

I think it's more for convenience becuase you get everything you need in a kit

ok i gotta be the n00b here and ask but, what is the purpose of a rotor over hub kit. whats the matter with the configuration of the rotors and hubs as they are right now, apart from size.

If you have a 98 or 99, it's already rotor over hub. The 97's were hub over rotor, which means the rotors have to be pressed on/off which is a big pain in the ass and not to mention expensive if you need new rotors.

hopefully i can get them on this sunday so i can put all 4 of my new wheels on.

my hubs and bearings were so bad and caused so much play that the spokes on the wheels would smack the front calipers....and yea thats not good....

Okay so i did my search and came up with two different answers. So do we use the nissin or the akebono kit for the front? And just to clarify, we would use the akebono calipers for the rears right? Oh one more thing, I have the 3.0 so are these kits still any good to me.
