brake question's for Ek Hatch
I'm looking to upgrade my brake's. I currently just have the stock brake system on my 1998 hatch. I wanted to know what's a good Direct/bolt up swap brake system for my car. It's non abs, I heard many different thing's, so can someone clarify to me what's a good direct brake swap. Thank's in Advance.

99-00 Si rear disc conversion. ITR MC/BB and if you have a DX you don't need a prop valve. If you don't, get the prop valve outta a 96-00 DX hatch or 99-00 Si. Then get ready to stop on needle point.

i'd have to agree with that... if you have the cash.
regardless of 4 or 5 lug, you should also upgrade your front brakes along with the rears. you want to have balanced braking and you will also need a 99-00 Si MC/booster (which i have for sale) to really take advantage of the bigger calipers.
oh i have the prop valve too.

INTEGRA brakes are different than em1 si front calipers. INTEGRA front brakes are larger.
Hatches have the same prop valve as the em1, so you dont need that when changing to rear disc.
To get larger brakes up front you will need the ex/em1 si/abs civic knuckles. With those you can use ex/em1 si, INTEGRA/abs civic, type r, or nsx/legend front brakes.

Re: brake question's for Ek Hatch (ek9800)
I track (high-speed lapping events) my 96 b16 swapped hatch regularly. I went with Cobalt rotors with Axxis Ultimate pads in the front, rebuilt the drums in the rear and upgraded the brake shoes and went with ATE Superblue brake fluid. I have yet to experience brake fade and haven't had a need for more braking power in 30+ minute lapping sessions with repeated braking from 100+ mph. I'd start there first . . . you might find yourself happy with a simple cash outlay of less than $150.
