Thanks for all the nice comments  :smiley:




I finally Got my Big Brakes Fitted.


The big brakes haver now been on for a week and they are really good, very happy with them, a big improvement over the old set up. I hopefully wont scare myself as much now.   :smiley:

I can now stop from any speed as often as needed and I don't get any fade, warping, overheating or any other problems, just loads of braking power the whole way. :up: It was quite scary untill I got used to them as I kept locking up the wheels.  



The set up is Now:

ITR Calipers and Carriers
Castrol DOT.4 Brake Fluid
Goodridge SS Brakelines
Ferodo DS Pads
EBC Discs


I will apologize now for the photos as they all seem to have bad contrast and so on, I always have this problem, I blame the camera.  :?








The Brakelines



Looking really big behind the Fat Fives



You can see here just how tight a fit it is, there is no more than 1mm of clearance beetween the Caliper and the Wheel weights. It is also very close to the wheel in a number of places.




The fat fives are due for a refurb after the winter.   :wink:

Great upgrade :up:

p.s. those are not Fat Fives, just EG6 wheels.
The Acura Integra GSR had the original Fat Fives :azn:
