Sometime next week I will be taking in the RDX to my local Honda dealership and having these puppies installed!

 

 

that's huge & 8 pots
How big is the rotor ?
Mind is 332mm in Project Mu BBK

 

16inch

 

I was also thinking in case of a flat tire, what would I do then?!?

 

Did a little research and Bentley came to the rescue with this 20inch spare tire.

 

avengers movie was included?? =)

if the rotors are 16 i would think 19s would still fit on there could of got yourself a smaller spare and saved the weight.. not sure stock ones would though.. they are rather bulky in the middle..

how much is the kit total? and why are you waiting for a stealership to install it? haha

 

The 421mm fit 21's, 400mm fit 20's, 380mm fit 19's, 355mm fit 18's, 335mm fit 17's, etc. As far as I know from Ksport at least. The 400mm will feel up my 20's nicely. I work part-time at a Honda dealership and we have all the tools there. I purchased the kit from boost logic got 5% off the wholesale price.

 

Oh wow, that looks so sexy. Any reason why you're going to the dealership to do the swap? Don't they charge and arm an a leg for these type of installs?

 

Thanks, I work at the dealer part-time.

 

those things look nasty, hahahaha. good deal!

 

actually for the RDX huh?

I was actually just checking in cause I went down to Stillen today for pads again, and our rears are same as RL/TL/CL/element/odyssey/legend even! fronts same as CRV/Odyssey only..

Stillen said it'd take 5 people to get them to do some R&D for a bracket for the front ones... but seems it may not be needed now.. let us know how it all fits ken!

 

NO, CRV. But CRV and RDX front end are pretty much the same.

 

 

 

Oh ok, I was wondering about that. That why I didn't get the rear because it didn't match up. Good, now I will into the rear.

 

What year are those rear brakes from the other vehicles? Because the numbers are not matching up. On the 07-11 CRV front brakes and 07-12 RDX front brake all part number match up.

 

 

It bolts up great, rides smooth. I can't really test out the brake yet, have to take it easy for the first 300km.

 

Our front pads fit: 07-12 RDX/07-11 CR-V/05-10 ODYSSEY.

...Rear pads fit: 96-07 CL/RDX/RL/TL/LEGEND/CR-V/ELEMENT/ODYSSEY

How that correlates to hubs/calipers, etc., I'm not sure.

 

...according to the receipt I got from stillen.

 

UPDATE!
Found application notes from Stillen's part # for the rear's:

Ok, I'm worried about just the brackets. As long as the bracket part number from OEM match, then it should fit.

 

Now I just need the rear and I'll be set!

 

hmmm.... where to compare that?

 

I wouldn't mind a slightly milder set up if I could go all the way around.

 

That thing is monstrous up there...

Hmmm... there's no number for the bracket itself.. being different years/brands and all, could that account for the different trailing code?

it might have to be visually inspected...junk yard?

 

Yeah, I was looking on ebay for the 07-11 CRV Rear brackets. Because the 07-11 CRV front brackets, brake, etc have the same number across the board.

 

I would love to put some 8pot 16.5 rotors on the wife's car, would look crazy good!

 

NOw, if they make brakes for the RL and TL from Ksport then they will most likely bolt up to the Pilot's 5x120 bolt pattern.

 

holy crap those rotors are monsters!! should be night and day stopping powa now

 

Yeah, braking them in for about 300-500miles, they're crazy big. I only gain about 15lbs with the total kit. NOt bad. Still pulls like a beast though, just can't wait to get the other study install.

 

Can't wait to get the rears still can't choose between the 15" 6pot or 14pot

 

I want some 60 70 80 90 100 120 140 to 0 distances those look insane in a good way but way out of my budget. im going with the willwood kit from fast brakes.

 

As soon as I brake them in, I'll get some numbers on them.

 

Soooo hows it stop?

 

Good, haven't really stomp on them yet.
