pic request vtec brake with stock 15" wheel - Honda Prelude Forum

jsmooney · 12-14-2006, 01:47 PM

i looked at my friend's 2000 prelude and the brakes on there look pretty close to the wheels. can someone get a pic of the front brake caliper and the wheel on a 92-96 prelude?

i don't have any pics, btu the caliper comes damn close to the inside wheel, still drivable though, it looks like big brakes when you have them behind the stockers...

all cars are like that with oem wheels the ideia is to take up all the potential space for breaks so you cget better performance out of them.

have you ever seen this setup? I've got legend calipers and VTEC rotors and i'm telling you that there is less than an 1/8" between the outside of the caliper and the back of wheel, i've never seen another stock setup come antwhere close to these clearances...

Oh they'll fit for sure. Theres no difference in size between the wheels of the vtec and si models. The brakes are larger for vtecs but still just barely fit.
