Re: Big Brakes (jrockets)
just replace the rear drums with some disc brake set up, if you want to go with a bigger M/C, go with a 91 civic ex. this will bolt up to your lines and booster with no mods. you will upsizing from a 13/16 to a 15/16. which will be great for what you need.

Just search around for a set of good condition Integra rear disc brakes, install along with good pads...and you're good to go.
