I like to gather all the information about the stock and diy BBK into 1 thread.
I'll start with as much information about the stock honda brake system that i can find.
Feel free to add any information that you found.I will add more information when i have time .
Stock Brake rotor size:
2016-2020 Honda Civic hatch/sedan/coupe 282mm x23mm front , 260mmx9mm Rear.
2017-2020 Honda Civic SI Sedan/coupe 312mmx25mm front , 282mmx10mm Rear.
2017-2020 Honda Civic Type R 350mmx32mm front , 304mmx11mm Rear.
2017-2020 EDM Honda Civic Sedan/Hatch 293mmx25mm front , 282mmx9mm rear.
Brake master cylinder size:
2017-2020 Honda Civic SI Sedan/coupe : 7/8"
2016-2020 Honda Civic Hatch/sedan/coupe : 7/8"
2017-2020 Honda Civic Type R : 15/16"
2017-2020 EDM Honda Civic Sedan/Hatch: 7/8"
Brake Booster size :
2017-2020 Honda Civic SI Sedan/coupe : ?
2016-2020 Honda Civic Hatch/sedan/coupe : ?
2017-2020 Honda Civic Type R : ?
2017-2020 EDM Honda Civic Sedan/Hatch: ?
Brake caliper size :
2017-2020 Honda Civic SI Sedan/coupe : Front caliper = Nissin 57mm single piston , Rear caliper ATE 38mm.
2016-2020 Honda Civic Hatch/sedan/coupe : Front caliper =Akebono 57mm single piston , Rear caliper ATE 38mm.
2017-2020 Honda Civic Type R : Front caliper Brembo 4 piston 40mm , rear caliper ATE 38mm
2017-2020 EDM Honda Civic Sedan/Hatch: Front Caliper ATE 57mm single piston ,Rear caliper ATE 38mm
Note 1 : Front caliper Bolt spacing on all calipers (including type R) is 140mm Center-Center .Which is also used on most 1992-2015 civics.
Note 2 :Civic SI's that use the Acura TL-S brembo caliper and TL-S rotors have a brake bias that is very close to stock. Allthough the only upgrade made here is the caliper .
Big brake calipers
- '05 - '12 Acura RL : 4 piston Advics 2 piece caliper with 43/43mm pistons.OEM rotor is 319mmx28mm ,total height 50mm.
Will need adaptors (fastbrakes) to mount onto the hub and is mostly used with 350z (brembo) rotors 324mmx30mm. Radial mounted
- '04 - '08 Acura TL-S : 4 piston brembo 2 piece caliper with 38/43mm pistons.OEM rotor is 310mmx25mm,total height 45.4mm.
Uses M14 bolts and will require you to drill out the hub holes to 14mm.OR use thread inserts into the caliper .( Big-Sert, Time Sert)
- '10 - '16 Hyundai Genesis Coupe : 4 piston Brembo Monoblock caliper with 42/42mm pistons.Oem rotor is 340mmx28mm,total height 56.7mm.
Mostly used with Nissan Rogue with 3rd row seats 320x28mm rotors.
- '04 - '07 Cadillac CTS-V : 4 piston brembo 2 piece caliper with 40/44mm pistons.Oem Rotor is 355mm x 32mm ,total height 50mm.
- '00 - '06 Lexus LS430 : 4 piston advics Monoblock caliper with 43/43mm pistons.Oem rotor is 315mmx30mm ,total height 50.3mm.
These calipers are very similar as the Acura RL calipers ,except these are a monoblock and are cheaper .Radial mounted
- '06 -... Lexus LS460 (non touring): 4 piston Advics monoblock calipers with 43/43mm pistons.
Oem rotor is 335mm x 30mm ,total height 60mm.The LS460 calipers are not radial mounted like the LS430 and are much bigger .
- '06 -... Lexus LS460 Touring: 4 piston advics monoblock caliper with 43/43mm pistons.
Oem rotor is 357mmx34mm,total height 60mm.Same as above but even larger.
-'01 - '06 Honda integra Type-r DC5: 4piston Brembo 2 piece caliper with 36/40mm pistons.Oem rotor is 300mm x 25mm ,total height 57mm.These bolt straight onto the 10th gen hub and works with 300x25mm S2000 rotors.
- '14 - ... Tesla model S : 4piston Brembo 2 piece caliper with 40/44mm pistons.Oem rotor is 355mm x 32mm,total height 70mm.These calipers are almost the same ones as the Caddilac CTS-V calipers .Only difference is these are spaced further out for the different rotor .Center to center bolt spacing is the same as CTS-V and will be a straight fit.
- '17-'20 Honda Civic type R FK8 : 4 piston brembo monoblock calipers with 40/40mm pistons.
Oem rotor is 350mm x 32mm, total height is 55mm.These can be fitted but need some work .Ballade sports are offering a modified version of these to mount onto the s2000.
- '99- '04 Porsche boxster 3.2 Type S : 4 piston brembo Monoblock Caliper with 36/40mm pistons.Oem rotor is 318mm x 28mm,total height 67.2mm. Radial mounted
- '06 - '12 Renault Megane/clio RS : 4piston brembo monoblock calipers with 40/40mm pistons.
Oem rotor is 312mm x28mm,total height 63mm.These are used on several 10th gens in europe with a adaptor from Freakyparts uk or K-System.pro These calipers have very good wheel clearance and will fit most wheels.Mostly due to the fact these are radial mounted.
#note : Radial mounted calipers will almost always give a better wheel clearance due to the fact they are mounted more towards the back .
A lot of brake information what i have found ,i found on these websites:
- Centric parts Centric
- Brembo parts Brembo (where you can even search for rotor size)
- Racingbrake racingbrake (where you can find a lot of big caliper piston sizes and on which model they are used)
- Race technologies Racetechnologies A great brake pad comparison between the most used brake pads. Brembo HP2000 come on most stock equiped 4piston brembo calipers .A great street/race alternative is the RT TS20 (race technologies) and Pagid 4-2 (Blue).
what rotor do you use with TL-S brembo calipers on 2018 civic ex hatchback fk7?
