It was even before Drifter style. I was seeing these back on cars in 1999 in both Japan and Australia

That car is a PURE work of art Californiadad.

slowtegkauai

That sounds more like it! haha damn you really worked that G. The only thing I did to my car was suspention parts. Was the motor internally stock? and drive train?

So about my brakes, I got a call and was told the Hawk rotors are on back order for a few weeks so I decided to just run with some Power Stop rotors "Slotted Only" front and rear and have decided to go with the Hawk HPS brake pads front and rear, As I'm afraid the HP plus pads would be too aggressive for daily driving.

TheShodan

You'll go through those pretty fast. Those are mainly used for just outside OEM.. They'll only provide about 60% of the stopping power you need.
Hell, even my wife goes through HPS's on our Family TSX. They're ok.. but definitely not for turbo. Which is why I recommended what I did originally.

I get NA guys who go through HPS's very quickly on the street and perform about 1/4 of the acceleration as you do. That's why I stated the HP+ pads. The higher level ones over HP+ are for circuit only.

Also, NAPA blanks would have been preferred, as the Power slots warp very easily. When I was a distributor for Power Slot, that was a design flaw they never truly fixed...

What about HP Plus for the front and HPS for the rear since the front does most of the braking?

So the power slot rotors warp easy? So your telling my just plain old napa 23.00 blank rotors are going to be better?

The NAPA premium fronts are what you want to use instead of the Powerslot.

You can use the HP+ for the front and HPS for the rear. Yes. That would be acceptable.
The Premiums are like $58.00 instead of $23.00 and are resurfaceable.

What about the Autozone rotors?

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

I remember your video..... you should know by now ANYTHING Autozone is worthless.

Napa uses a different private label distributor than Autozone. Napa uses a company called A1, while Autozone uses another company that just was horrible (the name escapes me now)

Stick with Napa specifically, please

CaliforniaDad

iTrader: (6)

Yeah I hear ya. So will the HP Plus pads be noisy?

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

Not really. but you can't stop without some metal in the pad. But won't sound like a track pad, if that's what you're worried about.

Or some brembo rotors. I've had a lot of luck with mine.

CaliforniaDad

iTrader: (6)

brembo blank rotors right?

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

Yes. blanks.

Turbo-LS

iTrader: (4)

Yes blanks but I have drilled slotted and they've been good to me. Went through whole set of p,ads and rotors still inspec and not warped

CaliforniaDad

iTrader: (6)

I found the complete set of Brembo Blanks for the 94-01 integra GSR for 162.50 shipped to me. Good??? But, am I really going to notice a difference between the brembo blanks VS the Napa premium blanks?

Turbo-LS

iTrader: (4)

40 bucks a rotor sounds good to me

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

Its one part of a whole system Dave. "feeling the difference" is not going to be in a rotor. Its the combination of parts and their durability that separate the weak from the flock.

If you want to use Brembo blanks, fine. those work as well, as long as they weren't the Autozone. The difference is now up to the HP+ pads and brake fluid that I recommended: No Super Blue, No ATL or Castrol.. This, and this only due to its high dry boiling point of over 500*

You need 3 bottles:

Racing brake fluid helps.

Oh Jesus....when does it stop!!! You like spending my money! Don't you MAC!

So something like this --> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motul-3-RBF-...#ht_617wt_1163

the link I supplied you has it for $55 for 3 bottles shipped, and not $65... I can't STAND eBay.

I bought a couple bottles myself this week, actually.

If I want to come home in one piece to see my wife and daughter after being in my car chasing a bike, you damn right I will.... especially for this. Remember, I'm a dad, too.

Instead of a chasing down bikes with a Surfer, I'm using this: TR3030R

chi_gsr

Brembo blanks with HP Plus I can tell you are very nice and the stopping power is just great, driving to work i have some spots on the highway where its stop and go and or people cutting me off where i need the stopping power otherwise i will hit someone. Belowis the price i paid just change the front rotor and pads to your gsr vs mine civic and you should be in the same ball park. Break dust for me is minimal and i brake alot no noise what so ever just my 2 cents
