Need advice on brake kit

[vr2turbo]

Currently I'm using 96 DC2R master cylinder.. Is that good enough or it'd be best to upgrade? And if i am upgrading, any recommended Master cyclinder?

You can try them out first. If not good then only change.....

Finally got my hands on these bad boys.. albeit pricey for what it is.

Don't have any more photos, this was post washing photos, sadly I'm not into photography and not good at it, else there would be more photos.

Next would be steel braided and pmu 282 rotors

curious... why PMU rotors and which versions? some have said that the 1 piece are pretty much a waste of money. better to buy brand new solid rotors and use that instead. RM400 can get u a pair for H22A 282mm rotors...will need to redrill PCD if ur not on PCD114.3*4

if ur getting the 2pcs rotors, then by all means.. go ahead.

PMU rotors cause it's available at one of the shop in Sunway lol.. and pricing wise at 1170 should be okay la.. The normal SCR version (1 piece)... Errmm I asked around, so far no negative feedback on the PMU disc... But since you said it's a waste of money.. I'm quite taken aback lol.. One of my friend told me instead of getting PMU i'd better be getting endless rotors, but he did not tell me why too lol.. He just said it's proven, but endless seems to be out of my budget (i might be wrong though haha)

2 piece rotors would be way out of my budget.. Planning to save that extra money for a hondata or new set of wheels in the future

Anyways I appreciate your input, I will do my research again..

the feedback i got saying its a waste of money is bcoz itll perform roughly the same as normal solid rotors. if u want the slots, can just get solid rotors custom slotted

My rims barely clear the calipers
7jj 40 offset

I think the distance between the rim and the caliper is less than the diameter of the new 20cents coin.

But i need to check again to confirm the distance.
Is that distance safe? Or it is better to get a rim that clears more?

 

[vr2turbo]

As long as the rim and caliper do not touch. My SUV original rims/caliper is a tight fit even for my small wheel cleaning brush

ok got it
Hondata next ^^

excellent. welcome to the club. whatever. haha.
so how do u feel? worth it all the hardship, hassle and sweat?

 

[mADmAN]

my caliper to spoke clearance is even less than urs... barely a credit card can fit... so u should be fine.

Good to know that lol..


Btw can i pair 262mm rotors with spoon calipers? I read everywhere and was informed everywhere that 282mm is the size to go for

 

[es2611]

just sharing mine.

 

[tonyparir]

Thats one huge rotor.. whats the size?

i dont think so. smallest rotor size should be 282mm. space needed for caliper to clear the hat of the rotor and caliper could be mounted onto the knuckle.

custom. 300mm. with adapters.

I was told that 262mm can also fit work... Should i just go on with 262mm? or better get 282mm
