Brake Swap

Post by Power of Vtec »

on monday, we'll try to put the front brake system from an HRV-Vtec, to my EF9, with 15"" wheels.
we'll have to match the 5x114 pattern, of the disk, to the 4x100 of the hub.
we hope the brakes, fit in the wheel :shock:

Good luck, make sure you drill all holes seperate from the old ones to keep balance as good as possible. What is the disk size?

Post photos. Maybe the offset of the wheel can play a role if things are too tight there. CRV brakes are 5 hub?

first of all, the disk has the size of the rim :D . it can't be unoticed.
the brake distance is far more smaller but the kit can block the tires easily.
no ABS for me :lol:
