Another update. Finally tackled the rear brakes, which were stock and very miled out.

We did DIXCEL SD slotted rotors, Project Mu BESTOP pads, new fluid and Project Mu Teflon braided lines front and rear.

The rear brakes aren’t very important or noticeable in an FF machine but it’s peace of mind knowing they’re done and done well now.

Also I got rear ended recently. Not a lot of damage but it still sucks.

So the 1996/97JDM Type R is a 4x114 hub and that makes it really hard to find brakes, because the more popular model was the 5x114 98 spec which was shared by all markets. However, I managed to find some goodies! Slotted Dixcel FS rotors and Project Mu Bestop pads.

You can see the before and after shots here! My old rotors were becoming warped and the wheel shook under heavy braking.
