Peace

very nice, I'd like to see some pricing on those.

Seems cool and all, but I've never heard of that company (dont follow brake systems much anyhow). Is this a reputable brand? The website seemed a little bit cheesy to me. . .usually a company's website can provide good insight into the quality of their products.

You never know though. It could be a company that's just starting out that has good products and doesn't have time for a good site yet. Just like the old saying goes don't judge a book by it's cover...

These are KVR, as in the brake pads.
Not sure about the price, but I'm hearing $495 for two calipers.

I emailed them a few weeks ago and this is what they sent me:

We offer a 4 piston Python kit using 13.0" rotors, brackets, braided steel lines, street performance pads, performance brake fluid, and the 4 piston KVR Python calipers. The cost is $2295.00 Canadian plus freight. You can contact me at 800-636-0854 to place your order.

This is for the whole brake system upgrade. I'm not sure what just the calipers would cost. Remeber, these prices are in Canadian currency so it's about 1500 us.

I figured it was a little too much for me so i just ordered some 2 piston Legend GS calipers and some vtec rotors...but I am going to order some KVR brake pads!!

For ~$400-500, it's in the same range as the AEM Big Rotor kit, except you upgrade your calipers instead of the rotors in this case.

Wouldn't a better caliper help more with larger rotors?

I would certainly think so.

Did you contact coximports about the shock??

i don't trust it at all... look at what they put... 92-99 prelude w/o vtec..... first, 97-99 ludes all come vtec, so that they means it doesn't fit 5th gens at all. Also, what's the difference from 97-99 and 00-01?

very bad......

the aem brake upgrade gives a bigger rotor and relocates the stock caliper, thus increasing the leverage of the stock caliper. upgrading the calipers alone, such as the kvr upgrade, increases the clamping power of the calipers. also, 5th gens were offered as 2.2L non-vtecs overseas. Guiddy used to own one.
