Hey all,
Just wonderin what you guys think, Brembo's or stop tech??? I have a cousin that can get me a full brembo setup for around 600, which would usually cost bout 1,500, but ive heard that stop tech has it adjusted to you master cylinder so that you dont have problems, something brembo doesnt do. What do you guys think about this?

 

not to sound like an ***, but I just think you're after the bling of a big brake kit. Seriously, for better braking, just get new pads (hawk hp+, cobalt gt sports), stock-sized rotors (autozone or brembo blanks), new fluid (valvoline synpower dot3/4), and stainless steel lines. That's it. I've done all of those except the lines, and the car stops so quickly, it hurts Oh, and in my experience, this setup doesn't fade, even after beating the crap out of it at lapping days, auto-x's and mountain runs.

 

im not tryin to be blinging, its just that from what ive read that those are the 2 best break kit out there. I am putting a turbo kit on my car in spring so i want the best brake setup possible. Thanks for the advise garados im gonna also look into that idea as well.

 

anyone done new brakes on their ls or ls turbo??

 

Another kit you could look into is the Wilwood kit. I think they've been around a long time in the domestic world, and the kit only costs a little over $600 from Summit (but the brake lines are another $70). Some nice things about this kit, just from what I've read:
- The calipers are forged aluminum, and only 2.5 lbs each.
- The brake pads can be changed without removing the calipers; just remove a cotter pin and they slide out the top
- Since the Dynalite calipers use a standardized brake pad size, there's all kinds of pads available for them, both from Wilwood and from other companies like Hawk, with all kinds of compounds. The pads I've seen from Wilwood are significantly cheaper than regular Integra pads.
- The rotors can be purchased separately from the kit or rotor hats, if you ever need to replace them. There's many types of rotors available to fit the hats (plain, x-drilled, slotted, etc.) so you can pick the ones you like.

I haven't tried them myself, but considering all the features they look really nice to me.
