EK Brake upgrade with stock setup
I plan to upgrade my brake system. I will be doing upgrading steel braided lines, slotted rotors (stock size), EBC or Hawk Pads, and upgraded Calipers. I am having a problem finding 2-4 piston calipers for non big brake applications. Would anyone know of any. Assistance would be appreciate and thanks in advance.

Re: EK Brake upgrade with stock setup (Ashnice)
when you say EK what do you mean??? do you have a EX or Si w/front & rear disc brakes?
I have a DX (~9" in the front & rear drums) so I bought 99-00 civic Si front (~10.2") & (~9") rear brakes, brembo rotors, axxis ultimate pads, just ordered stoptech SS braided brake lines coated...
if you really need to upgrade the calipers (will you be tracking the car regularly?) then i suggest fastbrakes/wilwood brake upgrade...but your gonna dish out a lot of $$$ - plus those calipers will need to be rebuilt about every year or two
edit if your not tracking - & don't have 350+whp I bet the stock calipers should do the job

Forget the upgraded calipers, as long as you have 4 wheel disk, just get good pads and rotors.
You probably don't even need slotted rotors, they are only useful to scrap pads clean and prevent glazing. They will wear out pads quicker. Good for use in racing applications.
