I found a weight for K-Sport calipers. Its seems to be similar to Spoon with 5 lbs:
K-Sport Big Brake Kits for European and Japanese Vehicles

I'm wondering that the DC2 caliper fits as many guys said because of the 5 lug conversion that the DC5 components are the right one.

p.s. the image on the zeckhausen product page is wrong? (5 lug rotors)

Spoon and even ITR are vastly better than KSport/D2

They are both cheap taiwanese junk at least from reviews I've read

yes...the picture is wrong. I also said that I have them installed on my Fit. Are you happy now?

AND...those StopTech disc were specially designed for the NON-Type-R Integras, so they could install the Type-R calipers (brakes) on their cars.

AND... guess what? They are exactly what fits the Fit. If you need to see it installed, look here https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...tallation.html

it is for the DC2 not the DC5...I know, I installed them on my car.

Yeah I know your thread. I thought it could be a wrong link

My only fear is that you have a USDM Fit and I'm having a JDM one and all parts are completly different. My fear comes from this comment:
http://www.honda-tech.com/showpost.p...6&postcount=18
the way the JDM fit's have 5 lug is very simple and bolt on, but the USDM fit is different, due to the lower control arms and shock setup
I know its about a conversion, but it says that there are major differences.

I know people saying the same about Wilwood. They say its quality is even lower than K-Sport/D2.

If it fits I'll think I go with Spoon.

Any chance to get rotors that are lighter than those from zeckhausen?

well he lives in germany, and thats the only Nordschleife i know of. it most certainly is the burg! Weve all got to take into consideration where hes driving when we discuss these brakes.

i would NOT put a d2 brake kit against the nurburgring....i would go with the spoon caliper and and dimpled and slotted disc.

i say dimpled for the track because drilled can offer TOO much cooling for serious tracking, and rapid heating and cooling of the disc can cause premature wear and cracking. if you cant seem to find a dimpled rotor for the application, id reccomend fabbing up some brake ducts and removing your dust sheild to keep overall temperatures down.

Independent of quality. Wilwood is to big. I want to go with 15 inch rims. So my options are Spoon, D2/K-Sport and ITR only. The D2 fits 100%. I have a confirmation of my local dealer. But I don't know the weights really. I will ask him if he is able to weigh them. Spoon would be very nice, but without confirmation it could end in burning money.

Where is the difference between those two calipers:

Products | SPOON OFFICIAL WEB

and

Products | SPOON OFFICIAL WEB

The description is completly equal (same with the long japanese text).

EDIT:
Found this brake kit, too:
http://www.tougedistribution.com/ite...2mm--15055650/

But I can't find it on Greddy's website!?

The way I understand it (I do not know for sure) is that the monoblock caliper is machined from a single block of aluminum and the twinblock ones are machined from two halves like most calipers are made. And bolted together. That is what I'm aiming for.

Do the JDM Fits have a 5 X 114.5 wheel lug pattern? Then ITR brakes sould bolt right on.

yes that is exactly how the two different spoon calipers are,
the twinblock caliper is the correct application for the fit.

JDM fits are still 4x100

Is there an alternative to the Zeckhausen rotors (something with aluminium center because of weight)?

I found this big brake kit:
Wilwood High Performance Disc Brakes - Front Brake Kit Product Number: 140-8442-D

Its diameter is 11.75 so I can use 15 inch rims and it is for the DC2 so it should fit?!

No, and I found that this brake kit is not usable for street. Its rotor width is tooo small.

Plus in the data sheet is stated "fits on some special 15 inch drag rims".

So this would be no option.

I'm really interested what this user has done:
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...tml#post643205

"282mm / 11.1 inch rotor with 4 pot Wilwood"

As this Kit is for the non-Type-R Integra it should fit for us, too. But it has 12.19 so rims have to bei 16 inch:
Wilwood High Performance Disc Brakes - Front Brake Kit Product Number: 140-6163-DR

EDIT:
Ok I think he used that:
Brake Kits - Performance Pads, Rotors, Calipers & Brake Upgrades

So OEM disc

Maybe it is possible to use this kit with the 11 inch Wilwood rotor?!

If someone is interested, I've collected different weights on rotors and calipers here:
