What is the size of standard EK9 front and rear brake rotor?

about 13" or so.. for front. Minimum wheel size can use is 15"

Rear, is about the same size as the stock 4 lug front discs.

I am asking this because i wanna get a set of Wilwoods but someone posted that its only a 240mm disc. So i want to know whether Wilwood kits use smaller discs or are they for the rear. Its a Dynalite 4 pot with 240mm 2 piece rotor/aluminium hat. Also if i were to redrill the hat to fit my car will it weaken the structure?

 

[shiroitenshi]

Well.. I'm NOT familiar with wilwoods, but the some sets I saw came with brackets. And the accompanying discs are BIGGER than the EK9..

So can't really help you there.

As for drilling the center lug holes, yes, they do weaken the structure, as with everything else that gets a hole punched in them.. :P

But what holds the discs in place during hard braking is not those two tiny screws, but your wheel hub area and the lugs, which is why high horsepower cars/trucks tend to have more lugs.. 5 for cars, 6 for trucks, and up to 8 for lorries.. (O_o)

I just got things cleared up, the dude actually posted wrongly...its actually at 300mm disc. Will ask my mech bout the reliability of drilling the 4x114.3 holes on the hat. Cause at the moment the disc either comes in 4x100 or 5x114.3.

Another thing which is out of this topic....those driving EK, are the 2 bolts on the rear of the front seats different size? I am trying to find eye bolts to hook on my sabelts...anyone know where i can get them?? I want good quality ones, dont want to snap incase of anything.

Well.. I guess that my estimations on the disc size true then, because wilwood are usually bigger than stock, and require 16" rims. I just looked at it, but never thought buying... I sort of like 15" and ek9 brakes.. they're just nice..

Now if only I'm willing to spend on a good set of VR TE37s.. :P

 

[kikaider]

Actually anyone using a big brake kit for the fronts on their EK? Would like to know how it feels like. Also where are the replies on the eye bolts for the harnesses?

 

[shiroitenshi]

Eye bolt harnesses.. that one you have to ask track kakis.

I'm using an EK9 brake kit on my EG.. consider a big brake setup or not? (O_o)

a) 262mm discs + 8.2lb Regamaster Rims
b) 282mm dsics + 9.2lb TE37 Rims

=> which will give better braking performance?

 

[kikaider]

I just bought myself the Wilwood Dynalite Brake Kit 4 pot. Cant wait to fit it on to my EK.

 

[chris2000]

How much you paid for the kit? New or used?

Don't forget photos.. the brake kit includes the rotors with removable hats right?
