Lots of newer cars brakes fit on the T2 dont worry about the Jazz brakes check my build thread i put on 1G 1988 Integra GSi brakes from the 1600 DOHC injected model it all bolts straight on.

Oh yes. My T2 have front vent disk and brake caliper (cylinder) same as Civic AT and Integra AV or another modification eighty years with vent disk. When I purchase brake pad, salesman say which brake pad same as Honda Fit.

Should fit N/A's as there setup is the same, don't quite know why you want to upgrade the brakes on ya N/A, must be extremely modified to need a brake upgrade as the standard brakes are more than good enough for N/A's

well i have a 1335cc 2ndGen Civic Sport twin carb EN4 engine in my N/A and have sourced a high compression head for it ( EB1 ) and when fitted will gain about 30 to 40 HP so i would like a bit more stopping power, i always say more is always good when it comes to brakes lol

True, that should make a huge difference! Should give a stock T1/T2 a go then. Yeah i had forgotten about the UK getting the early Civic Sport, i'm not to sure if we ever got those models here in NZ, don't no a great deal about them but have read a topic here about someone doing that conversion over your ways somewhere.

You need to watch your caliper bolt up spacing the T1 and some NA cities here have the narrow spacing which means you cant bolt on the later calipers,

If you need help finding a cheap conversion let me know i have some brake parts lying around from 80s Hondas and would be able to put something together no problem expensive part is shipping.

In response to a earlier question about it fitting T1 the T1 has the smaller caliper bolt spacing and you need to switch to later NA hubs (i think have the wider spacing) or T2 hubs but you also need the LCAs if you use T2 hubs on a T1

i just pulled my brake pads of the front on my T2, it says DB300, and i search on google, it comes up jazz brake pads.

but DB300 is the pad u want for T2.
