ive been searching for brake upgrades and im leaning toward getting brembo blanks with new pads like axxis for the front disks on my 93 ex. im curious if this brake setup will be sufficient, because im turboing my car this month. its gonna have somewhere around 180whp, and i dont want to spend money on these brakes and not have them be enough. i still have rear drums, which will hopefully be replaced later this summer with a rear disk setup.

i would say to get rear disc brakes first, then upgrade your front disks w/ a gsr front brake assembly in the summer

It'll be fine for daily driving. I drove around in a turboed hatch for close to a year before getting better brakes and was just fine.

sorry but i have to dissagree. w/ a 180 whp daily driver, i'd like to have just as much stopping power, because YOU KNOW you're going to push your car. "you need to use your brakes in order to go faster". plus you have a EJ, you're car isn't as light as hatches, therefore you wont stop as easily. just my .02 cents

my brother drove his 93 civic hb with sotck brakeas and rear drums with 500whp and he was fine for about 2 weeks and the brakes were done. but i tihkn for a lwoer hp car you should be ok..

other opinions? im gonna be placing an order with summit probably tomorrow and if i buy the brakes im gonna do it then

yeah i think that will be sufficient. not like you're going to be pushing 400 hp to the ground.

Brembo blanks, Hawk HPS pads in from, Porterfield shoes for the rear, SS lines, and some Motul DOT 4 fluid, rockin'
