Default 92 eg all around brake upgrade

i know of the rear brake trailing arm upgrades. i've found a writeup on hybrid honda about using the accord wagon caliper/rotor/spidle. to find this stuff will be a pain. i searched and couldn't find anything else on the front brake conversion. i'm guessing the 94-00 integra's front brakes are swappable as well?

center ring is a specially machined aluminum ring
its custom made and quite pricey for the size of it

IMO few of us are in need of a brake upgrade in this magintude.

get some good pads w/ brembo rotors (blanks is what i would get) and some DOT5 fluid w/ stainless lines and you'll be golden.

rear discs offer 0 performace increase over drums in this situation, they just dont look like ----+2

rear disks may not provide braking perofrmance in the beginning of the ride but they do not fade like drums do after 15 minutes of driving
its a worth while upgrade if u have money to burn

I agree with that one. Even slotted rotors and good pads greatly increase your braking ability. Stainless lines might seem a little pricey at first, but after you hit the brakes the first time after you install them, the difference is noticable.

you know that the shoes in drums generally have more surface area than discs = more mass to abosrb the heat.

besides, its usually the fronts that fade due to heat, the rears dont do a heck of alot

if you have money to burn spend it on suspension imo.
