Hi i was looking to get better brakes fro my 93 civic hatchback. is there a way to improve on what i already have?

everything is OEM

well you could get brembo rotors and ebc pads that would help ALOT
or you can also do a swap from another car and get the bigger brakes of that car.

1992Si

Axis pads front and rear, oh do you have read disc?

Unless you have big HP you don't need to do to much if you have a Si. Even from 140+mph our drag Si, it would stop fine with Brembo blanks and Axis pads. Driver said they had a good cold bite. Made a mess out of the wheels when it was street driven, but stopped great.

I want to use it for street mostly and sometimes on the track. Should i just get better pads and im set? Not looking to spend alot. $300 the most haha

98civdx

hatches dont have rear disk inless he added them.
300 huh turn the rotors and get some good pads.

Get a set of GS-R rear disc brakes and use EBC green stuff...Works good!! I just did this on my Eg and its nice.. I also changed my master cylinder to a 99 si one.

I dont know if hatches don't have rear disk brakes. Si hatchbacks come with rear disk brakes I believe. My bro's si hatch had rear disk brakes. DOn't know if it was factory setting though, so I could be wrong.

most of the braking is up front. get better pads and rotors, rear disk swap is over rated

1992Si

Surely your not talking about a 93 Si are you ? Si's came with rear disc. I think I'm the only one on here that can say my Si came with rear disc when I bought it new Aug 28 1992.

OP just get better pads. I guess your's isn't an Si

I use Bendix ceramic's on my 05 LegacyGT.

eg si's had rear disc. factory.
you can usually get rear disc setup for about 125 a corner. (atleast thats what i paid for them a long time ago)

wrong, when u do the conversion u need a new proportion valve whitch sends more fluid to the rear brakes to make better use of the rear tires.

sde780

I beg to differ. Even with a new prop valve and MS, most of your braking is still in front. It does help, but not worth the hassle in my opinion. Might as well get some better tires, they'll make a bigger difference

98civdx

opps thank you for correcting me.

jhonda239- even with rear disk the front still does the most breaking...
you can do a conversion with or w/o one but to get the best from you set up you need one.

i was just thinking some brembo blanks and some hawk hps pads. am i doing something wrong there? haha

i have a dx

98civdx

no there is noithing wrong with that. both are very good products...

Ohmateo

i would just get Pads rotors and SS lines and call it a day.

alfredwen

Thanks guys. I think ill just get brembo blanks and hawks hps. hopefully that'll do me good for street and track from time to time

TravisCadello

hawks hps VS Axis VS EBC green stuf this is my question

TravisCadello

nobody? ^^^^

It's preference mostly.

some come with disc, even some with abs

jhonda239

im aware of this. im saying that it puts ur rear tires to more use, making the conversion not a waste of time. the front tires can only handle so much, so it is benificial to do the swap which uses the rear tires more than the regualr drums.

Integra front brakes, theres your answer. Use a set of front knuckles and calipers from any '94 - '01 Integra, Master cylinder and brake booster from a non-abs '94 - '01 Integra and prop valve from an non ABS integra (this can come from a '90 - '93). Rear discs are nice from a maintence and cosmetic perspective, but they really don't add anything in terms of braking.
