Hi all,
I've been searching through a lot of forums trying to confirm the right way to go on upgrading rear brakes on a dc2. There is a lot of info on front brakes but not so much confirmed details for rear.
Specifically, I'm looking at keeping 4x100 setup and using the larger 260mm diameter rotors but I want to avoid mounting caliper a with the bleed nipple upside down. This is for a track car which will have the fluid bled before most events so removing the callipers to bleed the fluid will become tedious.
My questions are:
Which rotors can be used? I read mostly that standard ep3 are 260mm 4x100 with the correct offset and centre bore, can anyone confirm?
Which callipers can be used with the bleed nipple oriented correctly and are direct bolt on to the rear upright? I thought the dc2r ones are an option but are hard to come by without buying a full 5 stud conversion.
Alternatively, I heard that just the rear calliper bracket from 2002-2004 civics can be used with the stock dc2 rear calliper body to space it out further for 260mm disks.
If anyone has already gone through the upgrade could shed some light or correct me that would be appreciated.
