but i saw it on a SIR with 4x100 SIR rims tho~~

Also I heard that mugen Calipers are allow Mugen Brake Pads only...

can anyone give me a hand on that please and find that out for me? I've been searching over the net but couldn't find any information tho~

mugen never came with a full brake upgrade kit that was 4x100. it must've been some kind of replica caliper cover just like the ebay spoon caliper cover.

Cynikal.Mindset

are u sure it was 4 x 100?

imported_magicguy

im pretty sure it was on a SIR with 4x100
and it doesn't look like cover at all, its real metal piece with mugen sayz on it...

im a noob to brakes, why do 4x100 and 4x114 matters to the caliper...the caliper doesn't have anything related to the stuts anyways...? i thought I just have to make sure to clearence between the caliper and the rim

Cynikal.Mindset

it has to do with the spindle and the carrier being accepted...like u just cant throw type r calipers on to a regular civic ur gonna need the whole conversion...he might have had some kind of bracket made up to get them to work...who knows

Cynikal.Mindset

I've also seen people paint on MUGEN on calipers...thats teh ghey

imported_Team Rukus

its easy to make mugen fake calipers.
the lettering on it is not a raised print its just lettering sprayed on.
and if i remember correctly they were oem r calipers with minor mods.

Cynikal.Mindset

yea, they look identical to oem calipers from the outside...but I think they may have a larger piston...paint you oem ones gold and then paint "MUGEN" in black...homemade mugens y0!

mugen brakes are not worth a dime

ur paying for the name

they are s2000 calipers

imported_mikepasini

i have nismo brakes!!!! hahahah

Nova_Dust

Fitting Mugen caliper on a SiR is no problem, the spindles will accept all other larger OEM calipers, like ITR, Prelude and whatnot. All you need is the larger disc brake for it to work and grip properly.

imported_Team Rukus

dont u mean nissin?

imported_magicguy

so I just have to make sure the clearence of the calipers and my 15" rims correct?
cuz I found a set for dirt cheap tho

Nova_Dust

OEM (in this case, Mugen, being the same design) should clear most, if not, all 15" wheels.

Even NSX caliper will clear 15" OEM steelies.

no dude...actually nismo is from nissan cars... not honda. it was supposed to be funny.
