Default front brake upgrade for 96 hatch

my friend just got an big break caliper and rotor upgrade on his 00 SI , what can i use from his old parts, and what else do i need for a si front brake upgrade on my 96 EK.

to make it easier, can i just get a list of the things i need, for the front upgrade. doesnt matter which car.

i searched and only got a list for the rear disk conversion. but thats later.


thanx.

it should be pretty easy to tell if his rotors are bigger then yours. i dont know off the top of my head though. . . but if they are then get those other wise theres not much difference

Do some Research

its not going to feel right with bigger front setup and just drums in the rear. Everytime u brake the front is going to dip hard due to its power. But its ur car, and if u want to do it, then ur going to need the entire front knuckle off that car. U cant just bolt on his rotors and calipers. So basically for the front swap u will need the knuckle, hub, rotor, caliper, and brake lines. the swap is easy, the only bitch is the axle bolt. Consider rear discs in the future as well as at least upgrading to a 99-00 civic si prop valve. Good luck
