4G rear brake on 3G?
Hi!
Would 4G rear calipers with 4G rotors/pads fits on 3G? Or is there another way to use bigger rotors on the back with stock calipers?
Usually honda are not that hard to swap from different models, I use nsx calipers on my integra so I would like to know if anyone have tried this...
Thanks for your time

What's the point?
Rear brakes only get about 30% of the braking force (managed by EBD). Bigger rear rotors aren't going to change that.

Changing the rears, alone, won't make much (if any) difference. IMHO.

It will only make a difference in repeated stopping. I've faded my rear brakes FWIW. Honda uses the absolute worst setup ever in the rear. Who uses a SOLID rotor? I thought those were only on bicycles. Stock size would probably be fine if they were vented like 99% of the other cars out there.

Out of curiosity, what pads are you running on the rear? I remember in a different thread you were talking about how it hits ABS all the time. I'm sure most of the is because the ABS is way too conservative. However, when I was breaking in my front race pads on the already 13" fronts, my rears faded on me. At first I was wondering why it was hitting ABS so easily since the car ws not stopping at it's normal rate. Then I realized the rears were completely faded. I have Rotora slotted stock size rotors and a high performance street pad on the rear.

Do tell more about the brackets and the 13" rotors for the front. How much? How to order? Direct bolt-on replacement? What rotor choices at 13" by .98"?
But at 13" with the same caliper, you won't increase swept area, correct? Good for looks and maybe some advantage for cooling (added mass), but no additional pad contact. Correct??

Heat dissipation, mass, lever arm. Too much alcohol to elaborate.....

Will you sell just the rears for those that already have a front bbk? Mine fade every time I take it to the track. What will overall bias be like?

This is one of my future mods I have planned, only I'll be putting my own custom twist on it.

Stillhere is right, willwood makes a 4piston rear kit for the 3rd Gen which uses the oem size rotor so the hand brake will not be affected. The only modification you'll have to do is trimming of the dust shield. Theres already one member here with the kit installed.

I have never understood why these kits are so pricey... What if I only want just the Caliper and pads... no break lines and no rotors... I’d think maybe $100 for pads... $250 for calibers... even that seems high for how small they are?... Before you all go bashing on my comments, I know I might not be taking something into account here, but $900 for the kit is very steep IMO...
