better braking power 99 si
hey, well today i was just fooling around with the car on a long street, there was plenty of room so i opened up the car, slowing down from the speed at which i was traveling took so long to slow down i almost didnt stop in time. i had to stop because there was a red light comming up and the brakes worked but they just seemed to fade away. I was wondering if there are any good bang for the buck mods on improving my breaking power. i did a search but nothing i wanted came up! thanks!!

put GSR calipers in the front and an ITR brake booster + master cylinder, brembo blanks [cross drilled / slotted] and good pads. . makes stopping MUCH better

I'm interested in this too....I saw three 99-00 SI's with front end damage in a period of two days...not to mention mine. My old accord could stop better than this thing.

Re: better braking power 99 si (schlit)
I would suggest some performance pads (I'm going with some HAWK, there is a deal on those in the sponsors forum right now) and brembo rotors.....do you mean the brembo blanks or slotted and drilled? The only thing I have against slotted and drilled rotors is that they tear up your pads faster than stock/OEM replacement rotors. If you don't believe me about the 1" ITR MC and BB, then do a search. It will give you an EXTREMELY noticeable gain in braking power. Also a set of Braided SS lines.

go with hawk hp plus pads
goodridge lines and good brake fluid like motul 600
don't bother with upgrading rotors, waste of money
I must mention the hawk hp plus can be loud (like grinding metal on metal noise)
but this will work alot better than stock
