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

you know disk brakes cool better than drum brakes right? if they did indeed have more surface to absorb heat.... why is 4 wheel disks such a selling feature on new cars, why doesnt formula 1 or rally cars use them? and why do all guys with old muscle cars with 4 wheel drums want to upgrade to disks?

Re: 92 eg all around brake upgrade

i'm trying to pick up the whole setup on ebay if possible. does it matter if they come from the ex civic or integra?

also, what's a good price for the whole package?

Re: 92 eg all around brake upgrade

i've heard that the thing bad about brakes is the brake master cylinder , what do you think? right now i have already Motul DOT 4 in my house.. (two bottle) . the next upgrade will be a stainless lines (4) , cuz i've head that with the brake fluid that i have, the brake lines OEM , cant support it ..... .. are the same the Calipers from Integra than Civic ? with the naked eye seem the same..
