big brake kit for the crx???

Is there any companies that take the stock knuckle, and extend the caliper mounting, to fit a bigger rotor? I know they make them for domestics. Or is my only option to get civic or teg knuckle, and mod from there? Thanks

I think using teg knuckle can save a lot of money

Try to be http://www.fastbrakes.com/
I remember they sold this kind of kits before.
I think you can e-mail and ask them ..
is there any particular reason that you're looking for larger rotors? I mean...they'll give you more stopping power, but you should look into getting new pads, rotors, lines, and even a new master cylinder. It may be cheaper than getting a big brake kit (cuz you'll have to get new rims n' tires if you're using the stock 14's.) It just depends on how much you have to spend, and what exactly you're trying to do...
goto fastbrakes.com they make alot of stuff but ur best and cheapest bet is to get the whole knukle with brakes from a 4dr EX they are bigger and u can get steel lines and wut not to stop better also

well my goal is to get a b16 motor in sometime soon, and I would love to upgrade my brakes to accomidate the increase in hp. I will try fastbrakes, and look into the civic knuckle. If I were to use the civic knuckle, could I use 92-2000, or just 92-95? Would I just need the knuckle, rotor, caliper? Anything else? thanks
u can only use 88-91 civic 4dr EX knukles u can use them with 90-91 teg brakes the teg knukles wont work. there are bigger ones but the teg or ex should do u fine unless u want prelude/accord brakes
my brembo x-drilled n' slotted w/ pads have made a big difference in m breaking. Pratically no break fade. I still need to get the stainless steel braided lines though. Once i do, it should be great.
I fitted NSX Calipers and a set of 20 groove Red DOT Racing discs off a Prelude 2.2 VTEC, 282mm diameter, the stopping power is awesome and being Honda O.E stuff they are seriously well built.....
