Mugen Big Brakes
This is my scenario, im running brembo big brakes atm, the thing is i want some mugen wheels and i want to go 16's instead of 17. Now the only way i can run mugen wheels w/out having to run any spacers is to go with smaller brakes. Now my question is does anyone know if Mugen Big Brakes are any good? I know its not better than brembo but any suggestion would work. Im trying to stick to the all mugen theme but i need to know if these brakes are any good cause im running on boost and i do take my car to the tracks. Any suggestions?

Re: Mugen Big Brakes (Jams_Civic)
how is the stop response on it? I just want to make sure they are good enough to stop for boost vehicles. Debating if i should get the mugen brakes or even spoon brakes if i really have to

Re: Mugen Big Brakes (LS-V Turbo)
well what about a car that can go around 4-500 hp? Are these brakes any good? I just want to make sure my car is able to stop and have any problems stopping when in case of emergency even though Mugen is a good brand.

My friend has a ~450hp turbo GSR in his civic and is running stock brakes. I think you'll be fine with your mugen stuff.

Absolutely nothing.
Weight and speed are what determine good brakes. Even then it is mostly only weight.
