i emailed them and they said they drilled the bracket on the brembo and replaced it with threads that will fit a 12mm bolt which is the one used on the s2000s. the bolt and thread size on this kit is 14mm. once that is done they said it just bolts right up.
yea but i dont know how i would do that so i just drilled the brackets to accomodate the bigger bolts that the brembos use.

so updates..

another $350 sunk in for 2 TL brembo rotors.

oo honda brembos!

and i discovered indeed they are larger then our s2k ones.


pad area is bigger so thats good..


nice huh? now the pads fit perfectly on the rotor! except...


DOH! different size centerbore

jump over one hurdle..just to find another one
back to find a shop again tomorrow to make that fit. also the caliper bracket may still need shaving..but we will see once the rotor fits completely on.

this is becoming a headache! hopefully after the rotor and caliper fit on perfectly my last hurdle will be fitting a wheel over the calipers. unless i find someone in the bay with rp03s i'm going to have to wait till next week when my wheels come in. they said it would be this week but they lied they lied!!

stay tuned..

So are you going to have them make the centerbore larger or shave the s2000 caliper?
you're so close!

possibly both if needed but we'll see if it needs to be done when the centerbore is made bigger. hopefully not!

once you get this all worked out, you can put together a kit with some nice instructions and sell it at a nice price. make some $$ for yourself, help all of the rest of us out, and put Brembo's Gran Turismo package for the S2000 out of a position
