I heard that as well! I was going to try it but I couldn’t find any genesis calipers.

What year genesis brembos?

@@npvfa5 Shit, I saw a set locally not long ago. I slept on them because I'd already got these Type-s Brembo's w/ EBC redstuff pads. But changed my mind to go w/ the RL caliper/350Z Brembo pkg 12.8" rotors w/ Fast-Brakes brackets so I don't need to modify the spindles. I'm REALLY hoping the clear the 17" +35 Avid1's I've got on 'er, but I don't think they are going to, the stock caliper looks to be around 1/2"+- from the barrel. How do you like the braking now vs before?

just get another set of knuckles they are cheap and you can drill those or keep as spare.

Braking feels way better, definitely an improvement and I bet if you put some real heat into them the difference will be even more noticeable. If you want to test whether the wheels will clear the caliper, measure the distance between the wheel spoke and the rotor. You need about 2.25 inches for the Brembo calipers.

The spacer requirement and wheel specs is completely dependent on the shape/design of the wheel. 17 x 8.5 + 40 will work on some wheels, and not on others.

5mm spacers from Amazon

Yea, I saw that you recommended 6.5mm spacers. How’s yours holding up with the pads not being centered. I really appreciate the video!!

5 works good. It should work fine with anything between 5 to 7mm

It could be a nice to have if you want to keep things hubcentric. But in my case it would’ve been a waste of money because I need to run a wheel spacer anyways. The 15mm spacer I am using has its own “hubcentric lip” for the wheels. Also one thing you have to keep in mind is that when you run the aerogenics spacer you need to get your rotors machined to the new bore size.

@@npvfa5 i see. Does the TL Type s rotor bore match the 8th gen civic ?. Since the aeeogenics spacers are expensive i might not need them if the goal is just to keep the rotor centered in the calipers. Normal 5mm hub centric spacers will do the job.

The research I did a while back lead me to believe they are similar. I think the process is the same for 8-10th gens.

​@@npvfa5 lovely... whats ur IG. Lemme share calipers I'm going with.

I was running maxpeedingrods in this video. I currently have skunk2 pro c coilovers.

18x8.5 +35 with a 15mm spacer.

You need a +22 offset, or a + 38 (depending on the spoke of your wheel)

Auto Zone sells them, and just about any auto parts store.

$79 at oriley

8th gen civic si brake lines

@@npvfa5 Can I reuse my old lines?

You’re looking at about $700 for everything.

This is the budget way to do it. Getting it machined is the easy way to do it, but also the expensive way. I’m okay with having my spindles drilled to a larger size and a spacer behind the rotor. At the end of the day the brakes will perform exactly the same.

@@npvfa5 budget LMAO I don’t think I wanna be budget on my safely. Especially something that’s gonna stop your car

Yup you are correct. I realized later that the pin had to go in a little further, and the ABS module is closest to the passenger side… not sure why I said the opposite lol.

@@npvfa5 Yeah, I found out the hardest ahah. Was on the highway and mf popped out and one of the pads started sliding 🤣

Correct. I was thinking of the master cylinder lol. Everything still works perfectly fine.

Brake pads don't touch the insides of the slots or drilled areas.

Ah, I guess it depends on the type of rotor@@npvfa5
