Default Another brake question....

***i did a search***

1) I Heard it is bad to put SS brake lines in the front if you have drums in the back... T or F? I heard it has something to do with to much fluid pressure thats going to be sent to the back...

2) If i upgrade to Integra brakes in the front, is it necessary to upgrade the MC/booster too? and if i don't will it be unsafe?

sorry for the newbie like questions... i am clueless when it comes to brakes...

TIA Honda-Tech!

it will make a difference. But you wont stop any faster. You will just be able to handle the stops from higher speeds with less fade.

you could get away with your stock brakes assuming you had clean rotors and good pads.

but gsr/si front brakes are a worthy upgrade.
