Here's a package from the US using Wilwood stuff...

OR, if your car is a 4 stud set up, track down a set of 5 stud hubs from a widebody in the US and put on some slotted rotors with braided brake lines.
Larger rotors are on the widey! Everything bolts on but the 6 bolt stuff from the 88-89 widey requires the whole backend.
Also, make sure your brake master cylinder is in good order along with your brake calipers. Nothing wrong with the stopping power of this set up!

Mal, how much bigger are the widey rotors? Ever measured them?
They cannot be superhuge as they still have to fit under the 16s.

Has this setup been tested under extreme track conditions?

limau have you tried buying the nsx disc from overseas and getting them shipped?

Enthuzed - the 5 stud disc is 25mm bigger in diameter compared to the 4 stud.

Given that the group e starions were able to handle extreme track conditions using the 4 stud braking system using the right pad compound and removal of the backing plate, I'm sure you could make the 5 stud stuff work on the track doing the same thing.

In saying all that, using Wilwood stuff will open up pad compound choices.

I have the last set of DBA ZR-1 Corvette Rotors (use for the upgrade in the tech guide) here if anyone is interested.

thanks for the reply guys

it cost me a bomb after convert the currency to buy the willwood stuff and to buy something from oversea here is very risky coz sometime the item i bought didnt received me at all or hv some problem with local custom.

find out that the mercedes benz 300se rotor is similar to nsx rotor, can someone confirm this :) [/i]
