Kev, you could always shove some carbon metallic pads on those S discs, they are good! You could really try some laaaaate braking then. Steve

Sure would be nice Steve, but I have 1-1/2 sets of EBC Greenstuffs to wear thru first!
Anyhow I'll outdrag his 1152 away from corners, so no worries.. :P

i went to a wreckers today and there was a 1987 honda civic with the right disc brakes but the guy wanted $150 dollars for em so we said no, later we went to japarts wreckers and the guy said he has a set for $25 each side :shock: but he couldnt find them :roll: i am going back there soon to get them. i would like a template for the backplate for the ten inch wheel conversion if anyone has it? if anyone reads this who has the brakes on there 10 inch wheels, i would like to know what they are like braking wise and could they post some pics of them?

cheers

sean

Orange, please have a look for yourself.
All of your requested info is available on this site. You will soon piss people off if you don't look for yourself and want to be spoon fed.

Happy birthday kid. Now a grown up 14 year old, only last week a inmature 13 year old.

Now 'The Orange' don't get to excited or you'll pee yourself. So much anger so little brain.

I will take your advice and not open any of 'your' threads. I can only hope that others do the same.

ok.. to settle this thread

Will X fit in Y.

the answer is yes

you can fit any x in any y if you have the moola

in your case (where x= honda discs and y=10 wheels)

the answer is still yes . if you have the moola

the doc answered it quite well.

OK.. yes they do fit 10", after some serious mods to discs and pads and a tickle of the calipers. And not all 10" wheels fit

Wowee! Lots of colourful language between an oldie and a youngie. Hey kiddo, at least have some respect for the elder (Rupert).
Use the search button, stop being a twat, and learn some manners.

Its ok when me and mikey fight, because we're the same age. :wink:
