[@twinkie3085]

I think the camera man farted lol

[@badboiBunna]

Good work Red. Nice quick easy upgrade👍🏾

[@3monchii5]

Yall really like your em2s

[@jth1987leb]

The rotors moving is very common on the grand am and alero. And finally someone else who puts anti seize on the ears of the pads.

[@PirateGarage]

You are supposed to do that I can as taught the correct way as a mechanic

[@danielweinbaum]

I LOVE THE UPGRADE ! THE FIRST UPGRADE TO BE DONE ON BRAKES PERIOD...IS STAINLESS BRAIDED BRAKE LINES !!!

[@bryanlarrea2867]

Would a rsx type s brake master cylinder and brake booster be necessary to run the bigger type s front brakes? From what I hear, you've got to modify the hardliners that run into the master cylinder. No one seems to cover that on the forums.

[@pFbSpecV]

Awesome upgrade for sure!! Budget build for the win!

[@georgekrousaris5409]

hello my friend do a very good job what diameter the disks are .dates from Acura RSX Type-S

[@nashdav]

My screws were really hard to remove so I didn’t bother putting them back in and I don’t have any problem

[@georgereyes7789]

Nice setup, What brand rotors did you use?

[@ulisesyoursever]

looks awesome , good job

[@averyalexander2303]

Nice! Do you know of any 4 lug rotors that I could get to do the same thing? Maybe I could use a different 4 lug rotor of the same diameter with those Type S calipers? I have 4 lug wheels and I would like to upgrade to larger rotors if possible. Thanks!

[@PirateGarage]

Mini cooper has a 4x100 that's bigger but you can also have the rsx rotor re drilled

[@averyalexander2303]

@@PirateGarage I will look into that, thank you! Will the Mini Cooper rotors work with the RSX-S calipers? And will this brake setup fit in my 15 inch wheels? Thanks

[@cesarvazquez4234]

The brake lines are all the same right? I know u need rsx or ep3 brake lines on the rear but what about the fronts? Do need type s brake lines or it doesn't matter?

[@PirateGarage]

The stock lines for the rsx calipers on the front

[@PirateGarage]

They are the same brake lines

[@cesarvazquez4234]

Ohhh ok 👌 thanks man, also do u recommend changing the brake master cylinder to the type s or it doesn't matter? Im doing my 5 lug conversion with the type s brake upgrades, except mines non abs.

[@PirateGarage]

You can but it's not a big deal

[@TheMikeyoshea]

What do you suggest to replace the rear drums?

[@sethoz22]

How has the performance been on these? Significantly noticeable? And do you think a rear disc swap would be even more noticeable?

[@PirateGarage]

I have done a rear disc on my other car before and it did feel better but this car also got bigger brakes and I wanted to go 5 lug to run RSX wheels. And are you asking about the performance modds? The cat was bad so I will know more when I drive it again

[@nenadeleon9593]

Hi, I have an 01’ civic. What all did you need for the entire conversion? Having a hard time figuring out which wheel hubs are the right size for my axel.

[@PirateGarage]

Stock axles for with base RSX both have 32mm axles nut, I stated this in the other video

[@stevardm2694]

Nice budget stuff

[@PirateGarage]

My AWD Civic is getting a high end k24 most people don't want to spend that kind of money so I'm doing a budget build also

[@jonahgarasha2223]

Where are you located and do you do work on the side for other people

[@PirateGarage]

I make my living as a mechanic, msg me on Instagram gravy_built

[@ItsTheFry]

ARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@macc42744]

You can also type s hubs and bearing to get 36 mm axles

[@PirateGarage]

I can't this car is keeping the D17

[@macc42744]

Love the videos keep up the great work

[@carlosalfredomendozamojica8385]

What coilovers Did you use ???

[@josezenteno6861]

Can I get the Hong Kong upgrade

[@daygo_1904]

do the rsx type-s rotors & calipers fit in the rear as well? video only shows you doing fronts

[@PirateGarage]

Type s and base rears are the same

[@daygo_1904]

@@PirateGarage i probably couldve figured that out if i took the 10 seconds to look it up. thanks! you got a new subscriber as well

[@vernondacentsr7528]

Did you switch the proportioning valve

[@PirateGarage]

The rsx type s and the em2 ex with abs has the same valve so no need

[@liltriniboy97]

Do you have a link for those rotors?

[@workshop9091]

i need to do this to my 00dx to ex/11"+

[@sergioelias87]

Is the spindle from base model the same as type S?

[@PirateGarage]

Base

[@bhadz100]

Red what’s was the eBay brake kit?

[@PirateGarage]

Nakamoto

[@marshalcraft]

will em2 front knuckle work with the AWD from crv?

[@PirateGarage]

You will have 4 lug front and 5lug rear

[@marshalcraft]

Okay, so crv, em2, and rsx base knuckles all fit same splines and diameter shaft ? So just need shaft length for the crv then?

[@marshalcraft]

only front susp mod is engine/tranny mounts, crv subframe, crv drive axles, and em2 or rsx base knuckles all for front? And thanks for responding, awsome stuff.

[@PirateGarage]

The 02-06 crv is 2" wider so any parts of the lca or axle or knuckle in the front work work

[@marshalcraft]

So needs crv ICA?

[@teohondaep3]

Size of the rotors;

[@chadarmstrong8506]

Are you using the front spindle from a base of type s?

[@PirateGarage]

No from a base or the axles wouldn't fit

[@chadarmstrong8506]

Thank you
