Civic Upgrade Front Brakes Question
I am doing a b18b swap form an integra into my 93 civic 4dr lx and i need to upgrade the front brakes but don't want to hassle with having to get the brake system out of the integra. So my question is "Can i just upgrade the front brake rotors"? I am looking at buying these http://passwordjdm.com/PasswordJDM-F...3723C1929.aspx
Do i need bigger calipers too or just integra brake pads?

Re: Civic Upgrade Front Brakes Question
Do you need to swap out your front brakes? Does your LX come with rear disc brakes? 40/40 proportioning valve? Maybe you can get away with just swapping out your brake master cylinder and keeping your stock booster... You can find more information here:

The motor does not add enough to the car to warrent a brake upgrade to keep the car safe. If you just WANT to upgrade your brakes get up off your *** and do the teg brake swap and add rear disc... Just sayin...

Re: Civic Upgrade Front Brakes Question
Having a marginally faster car doesn't really warrant a brake upgrade.
By the way, integra brakes can be had pretty cheaply and for the budget you're allotting for dodging real brakes you could get the integra brakes.
Brembo blanks are very reasonably priced and with some good pads, fresh brake fluid, and stickier tires you'll notice a lot more braking power than you'll need for a b18b.
