J, What modifications did you have to do to get the dc2 rear conversion done? or you just use the fastbrakes.com rear kit ?

no modifications really.. you have to grind down a part on the caliper but nothing more. its all bolt on and the instructions are AWESOME with great detail pics for men!

I haven't gotten around to install them yet. shooting for this friday. I was fixing an oil leak and heat shield rattle over this past weekend. grrr lol

Cool man let me know, I just ordered the Type R kit for the front and getting machined to fit. I'll let you know the details once I got it all set -up .... let me know how the back disc brakes work for you.

I fixed a buddy of mine's laptop (hes a retired spec miata racer, aka got a kid and house and wife now). He gave me this because I didn't want his money.



and I have the GoPro tripod mount that will allow the GoPro to mount to this. everything fits great. looks good. Need to install it on my harness bar or my petty bar. Ill do it and snap some pics.

still didnt get around to install my brake conversion yet. Just been so damn busy with work and six flags trip last saturday. lol

my gf snaped this pic of me there. I was sitting behind her on this bobsled right.



PS: the Titan owns me. I've only rode it twice and each time I almost black out. If I could look ahead and anticipate what is about to happen, I would have no issues. haha

Me and my buddies kicked ass last night on this project.

For anyone interested in this kit, a little bit of modifications were needed (as listed in the product description.) but we got it going. brakes like a champ. amazing product! 10/10 review from me.

12" Integra Type R brakes all the way around. CarboTech XP 10 front pads, XP8 rear. ATE super blue racing dot 4 brake fluid. custom SS brake lines.

now you just need to run dryer hose from the front fog lights to the brakes so you can have some added cooling like the j's gt fit.

Hey JCrim, do you remember what the part number was for your EBC front discs before the ITR brake swap?

I ordered a pair of EBCs last Saturday and they screwed up the order big time. Sent only 1 USR850 with either a 5x100 or 5x114.3 PCD. -.-
