Hi guys,

I have recently bought a set of 4pot Wilwood brake callipers and 2 piece 310mm rotors.

I bought these second hand a while ago and have recently refurbed the callipers and bought new discs for them. I bought the set up from a guy with a an EK civic coupe. I thought it would be fine as it is basically the same car but now I have found out that the bell has not got enough offset to fit the discs and the hub centre is too small to fit my hub.





I need the correct adapter plates to mount my callipers.
The correct Bells with the right offset.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for these parts?
Links and part numbers a great help :)

These are the hubs that the kit can from. Totally different but from an EK civic coupe.


Thanks in advance Oli
 
this is a dynalite kit not a midilite kit as sold by freakyparts.

the kit you have is available for 242mm uprights and 262 uprights, and the brake kit for one can't be fitted to the other. probably best / easiest to swap over the uprights.
 
No need. We can adapt the kit to fit the EK9. Just need the bells/rotor and a caliper.
All that should need sorting is a replacement bracket manufacturing for the caliper to locate it correctly onto the disc.
At worst a new pair of bells as the PCD/Centrebore will be different, but we should be able to machine your current bell to suit.
 
I have had my bells drilled out to the right pcd but centre hub needs enlarging to fit snug onto the hub. Only problem is a bracket to fit my calipers to my hubs. I am using 16inch Rays TE37s and should fit.
 
Tried to pm freakyparts but your inbox is full.
Hi there,

Thanks for the help thus far. I have had my bells machined to 114.3 x 5 already but need to slightly increase the centre hub hole on the bells to fit snug onto my hubs.

I think the only thing I need to do is to have some custom brackets made to suit. How much would this be? Would my current bells be suitable for my 16inch TE37s?

I have test fitted them and the caliper scrubs as it sits too far into my alloy because of the wrong bracket.

I dont mind sending them off.

Thanks Oli
