KV666,
What does that setup weigh - what is the weight saving compared to OE?

Do they make a superlite 6 that will work on the rear calipers? Or could I put them in the front and use something like the dynalite.

But the bracket for the Dynalites in the rear is not just a square bracket, it has a good 3/8" offset.

Guru,
My recomendation is to use the 1.38" dia piston Dynalite in back and the superlite (4 or 6 piston) in front...

http://www.heidts.com YES

The 5,25 hole spacing on the dynalite caliper is the same as stock, the stock rear caliper has 5,25 also. Only the mounting ears on the DLIII are too short. The Integra has 5,25 spacing too, so a rear bracket for them is very easy, just a square plate like the heidts thing.
