I thought the stock rsx rotors work? Also did you have to change out the break lines?

[@chapstickevo]

them shits is hard. I went ""oooohhh when he mounted the caliper" @4:22 nice bro

[@reyesjnj]

Nice work on the swap and video, I do hate how some or most of this companies are selling this adapters for way to much to make this adapter is around 40 to 60 bucks for both sides but I guess if people buy them they'll keep it at a high price.

Can you use the rl calipers with stock sized rotors? Or do you have to use bigger rotors?

No rotor too small for RL

So the rotor will not be screwed in anymore right? The new single hole doesn't line up

No actually the wheel will tighten the rotor
