I want to order a set of Advan RGs soon, 16", I was wondering if there are any big brake kits that don't require 17" rims?

Are you only interested in a "Big brake" kit? Or are you willing to go for something stock size/similar to stock size but with upgraded calipers, etc? There are many options you can go with in that route.

I want to keep it general, but I'm sure you know that size is only a small part of braking power/effectiveness.

I don't need anything too huge, I was thinking maybe doing a GSR brake conversion, for a wee bit smaller brakes and rear disk. But do I have to do the full suspension with that setup, because I already have aftermarket civic suspension installed on my car. . What suggestion did you have with better calipers?

All you need, they state what size wheel most of them fit, some even clear stock rims, and they're cheap!

yah what he said "fastbrakes the only downside is removing some material from the calipers to get perfect fit but def worth it. Order the partial kit and get integra calipers from a parts store, its cheaper Im goin that way right now.
