Honda Acty Big Brake Kit Install

Honda Acty big brake kit by WILLpowered installation instructions. Spacer kit and studs can be purchased at www.willpowered.us but the brake kit (KC699 or KCOE699) can be found online for cheaper than I can even source it.
I mention it in the video but it is very important you put the left caliper on the right and the right on the left. The correct orientation is with the bleed screw pointing up so you can actually bleed the system. If installed backwards you WILL NOT be able to bleed the system.

Can't wait bro

I tried this brake kit for my Acty. The brake hardware (clips) keep rubbing against the rotor, and it's driving me crazy. I disassembled and reassembled them multiple times. Not sure why the rotors are sitting so tightly that they make contact with the pad retaining clips.

[@willpowered9882]

That is the one thing about the KC699 kit, the clips are literally a mixed bag. I had to pick and choose the clips until I got ones that didn’t rub. Think I even had to clip/shave a couple.

Awesome work! With the larger brake calipers is a new brake master cylinder necessary or can the OEM one be used still? And if it's OEM still how is the pedal travel compared to stock?

[@willpowered9882]

Although the rotor is about 1.4” larger the caliper is only marginally bigger. The stock master cylinder can handle the change just fine and if there is a difference in pedal travel I didn’t notice it. Haven’t gotten any reports to the contrary as well.

Where do I order the break kit from

[@willpowered9882]

@@mikemike8919 the spacers, screws and studs can be ordered from our website in the description and you can search the actual brake kit online using the part number from the description. Often Amazon is the cheapest.

Good work

Nice work

Do you know the bolt distance of the caliper?

[@hatchbackhound]

Any chance you could look into a rear disc kit?

[@primo_acty2813]

So, that appears to be like a 92-95 Civic front caliper and front rotor correct? I'm trying to do this swap and all I'm seeing on the site is your spacer for the rotor. Please let me know. Thanks!

[@willpowered9882]

Yes they are eg civic brakes with the 9.44” rotors. The caliper mount will bolt up to several different Honda calipers but not necessarily fit with the bigger rotors etc. The eg civic brakes are a huge improvement, easier and cheaper to get replacement pads and anything bigger is probably overkill for a 1500lb truck.

@@willpowered9882 this is what i am wondering, as i am going to be purchasing a van soon. i want to know if i can switch out civic parts that would be an upgrade

[@creative3703]

Does anyone have the OEM spec for the wheel studs size, knurl diameter/ shoulder size? Acty HA4 HA3?

[@nicholasreif3443]

Same question. Did you find an answer?

[@tong7145]

Would you happen to know the distance from the rim to the caliper? I'm trying to buy some SSR MK3's rims for my acty in 13". I'm a little worried about the face clearance. Thanks

[@motorider727]

Do they make anything like this for the Suzuki Carry? Or does anyone know if this kit will work???

[@UrbanW3irdo]

Do you happen to remember the offset on these wheels?

[@hensondomingo9244]

How much further would these push the wheels out?

[@willpowered9882]

Approximately 1/4”

[@hensondomingo9244]

@@willpowered9882 Thanks man

[@girthbrooks830]

What about rears?

[@tristanbunce4810]

do you have to do this to all wheels?

[@willpowered9882]

This is just for the front. Rear have drum brakes and our rear disc conversion has been shelved for the time being. The amount this pushes the front wheels outward is negligible when compared to rear.

[@tong7145]

Would a wildwood brake kit work?

[@willpowered9882]

It would have to be a wilwood kit meant for the 9.4 inch rotors not the 10.3” ones. Don’t think I have seen such a kit though. It would bolt on to the knuckle but being meant for the larger rotor I don’t think it would work with my kit at least.

[@tong7145]

I said eff it and just bought the KCO699 kit. I'm going to buy your extended studs right now

[@tong7145]

What's the thread pitch on your guys extended studs? M 1.25?

[@tong7145]

M12x1.25 I mean

[@willpowered9882]

@@tong7145 M12 x1.5 which are the same pitch as standard Honda studs including Acty’s

[@mrmotorvator5151]

You moved the rotor 6mm.why on earth would you use studs that long..looks terrible

[@willpowered9882]

If you install the kit you will see that the thread engagement on the lugnuts is reduced. I’ve seen alloy rims with thicker faces make it actually impossible to get even one thread. Safety is more important than aesthetics. The perfect length would be an odd size stud that would be much more expensive if available at all, these can always be trimmed to fit your specific application.
