SUSP: ROH Conversion with 282mm rotors

[Domesticated]

I just went and checked and I have the 25Ts on my old setup with prelude rotors. Did the wagon come with 23 and 25mm rotors? Or just the 25?

[frohawker]

the 23T/25T bracket is in relation to a 23mm or 25mm thick rotor.

Bringing this back because I decided to stay 4-lug and will be doing this at some point... why is the CB9 front caliper combined with the CB7 23T caliper bracket? Is that a typo; doesn't the wagon caliper require the wagon bracket?

[Jarrett]

Yes, you can, though it's effectively the same knuckle. The only difference is that Honda did away with the mounting provisions for the dust cap over the upper ball joint.

Out of curiosity, are the knuckles interchangeable from the 2.3CL to the Accord? Ever since I did my conversion my right wheel bearing goes bad in a matter of weeks. I'm thinking I may have damaged my knuckle when I pressed out the original bearing. To be able to just grab the entire assembly from a junkyard would kill two birds with one stone.

For Preludes, you got them starting in '92 on the VTEC model. After '97 all Preludes had them.

what year prelude does the 23T brackets come out of? we dont go by those numbers here..is the 97 lude or BB6
calipers and brackets what i need?

[Jarrett]

It would be up to you to compare part numbers of the hubs between it and the US 2.3CL because we have no way of knowing.

So far I don't think anything has been proven to work as a substitute. You could get the front knuckles from a '98-'02 Accord 4-cylinder and use the outer CV joints to solve the spline diameter issue. I wouldn't bother with that, though. I'd just look into a 5-lug swap with Odyssey parts if anything.

wait...is the Acura cl 2.3 the same as the Honda Accord CL chassis? because we have those here. the Euro R came in the Cl chassis...Accord Torneo and the Euro R Torneo

There isn't a CG9 in the US and the validity as to whether or not its rotors are 282mm and 25mm thick are up to you to verify. In the US, '98-'02 Accords without the V6 just have the same thin 260mm rotors as the '98-'99 2.3CL. Do research here first.

I can confirm that the CG Accord here in the UK has 25mm thick discs, and are 282mm. http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com/car/p...+%2898-2003%29

As for the 260mm discs, to go with the stardard setup, i can use 92-97 Prelude BB3s according to this site also. http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com/car/p...29+%2892-97%29

So just down to the hubs then i can get cracking with getting bits.

90-93 CB Accord bearings (bought)
98-99 Acura CL 2.3 front hubs (acquiring)

93-97 BB1 2.2i vtec Prelude discs, pads, calipers, and brackets for the 282mm upgrade (for the T23 setup)

Or

98-02 CG9 Accord discs, pads, calipers, and brackets for the 282mm upgrade (for the T25 setup)

Or to do just ROH and keep my standard 260mm calipers and brackets what discs do i get?

[Jarrett]

Nope, the '98-'02 Accord parts won't fit. You're pretty much stuck with needing the '98-'99 2.3CL hubs. I realize that will be difficult for you given what was offered over there.

Also, '97-'01 Prelude rotors are 5-lug, not 4-lug. They are 11.1" which is what the 23/25/28T brackets are made for. The '98-'02 Accord 4-cylinder rotors are still 260mm and those use the standard caliper brackets that came on the car.
