Hard to find most of that stuff around me. I have 2 crx's...1 is stock and I plan to leave the brakes pretty much alone on that one. The other is a b18 swapped and I would like to do alittle brake upgrade. Just dont want to spend a bunch of cash on doing it.

 

i honestly think with rear disks, good pads, good rotors and good brake fluid, stock works just fine. steel braided lines help alot too.

 

No they suck, ive maxed out the stock brakes a couple times.

 

what do you mean? brake fade?

 

i got a whole DA setup for sale

 

i have a question. i just brought a jdm ef8 Si-R cluster thats i wanna install in my sedan but my car has a speed sensor plug and tha cluster duz not. is there any way i can work around that?

 

but with power like 214/160, and the desire to road race, or drive the winding mountain roads, i would love to feel safer with larger then stock brakes.

 

No i was doing a couple 100mph+ pulls on farm roads and the brakes had a very hard time stopping my car. Smoke was literally pouring out the wheels

 

with an electronic VSS.

why are you typing like that?

 

dont you need a electric vss for SiR clusters, and usdm ones are cable

 

and? any brakes will smoke if you stop hard from that fast, if you would of slowly came to a stop, maybe down shifted it wouldnt be . and yes if your gonna compete, go bigger, 11.1 would be nice, or do an aftermarket setup

 

what pads are you running?

 

axxxis metal masters

 

I plan on rocking Sir knuckles iwht 10.3 on hawk pads. I want to still be able to run my stock blades for that sleeper look

 

Anybody know a good place in so cal to get some nice seats for ef? I really don't want a bucket but something reclinable and works with a harness.

On the brake side I do have ef8 sir front spindles for $40 and da front knuckles for $60 picked up. This stuff just clutters my garage. BUt yeah seat info would be nice.

 

That would be sweet. I honestly don't know what conversions you can do, from other hondas. I would like to know more.

 

Best place is the junk yard if you don't want to spend a lot.
Sometimes you'll come across a garaged dime with mint *** interior. Thats how I cam up on my 88-89 Si seats a couple of years ago. Other then that, peoples is charging a lot for SiR interior. And the whole seat pan swapping thing is a P.I.T.A. if you don't have patients.

You can get a nice seat of Recaros for around $600-$900 depending on condition and who is selling them.
EVO 8 guys are always selling seats on craigslist for cheap because they want the leather setup

 

best seats ITW IMO

 

10.3 inch rear rsx rear rotors redrilled with flipped calipers. have to bleed off the car though.
(this is hearsay dont know if its true)

DA or EX knuckles with redrilled 92-96 vtec prelude rotors with RL or TL calipers
(or the tried and true NSX or 91 acura legend GS dualpistons)

 

Okay...some people here are missing some points.

STOCK brakes with decent pads (carbotech's, Porterfield R4s, Hawk HP+/HPS) with some ATE blue fluid and you're set. Seriously. Period. You don't need anything else on a street car. For those having trouble braking, make sure you have followed the correct sequence when bleeding your brakes.

Yes, maybe upgrade those brake lines too, but I run a STOCK mc/booster in my '88 dx with the brake mods listed above with stock rear drums and the thing brakes hard with Azenis.

And that brings me to my next point. You can only stop as fast as your tires can stick. Running nice, sticky street tires will help.

That's why my track car runs 4 wheels discs, 15/16 mc, 11" up front with wilwoods and brake pads that only work when hot. I'd burn up stock brakes in a heart beat with r-compounds.

 

this is what i thought too.

cuz brake fade = brake fluid boiling... so upgrade. and stock rubber lines expand, so steel braid prevents that.

 

well yea theres your prob....stock size brakes with good pads/fluid/lines will hold up to quite a bit of abuse(ask me how i know)

right now im going to be running hawk race pads, ss lines, ate superblue and 15/16mc on my time attack crx and im sure they will hold up perfectly fine with street(azenies) tires...when i move to r-comps a little bit down the line i will be running a willwood setup

 

Does anyone know where I can find HatchMo (Ben)? Or his contact info at least. This new HT system is boggling to me and I can't seem to find the IM option anymore.

Thanks guys!

 

Myspace? I'd send you a link to his page, but I won't get on that site here at work.

 

Or the ep3 rear rotors which are the 4x100 starting from 02-04 I believe.
