Default Those with FASTBRAKES---opinions

I have them sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. all four corners. Just wanted to hear some first hand experience from people. I heard that they out perform the braking power of the type R, so any one who has any input i would like to hear it.

Also i am not sure what pads i should get, thinking about the n.a.y's but also thinking of running stock teg pads, so what do u guys with the kit use?

TIA

I have a 92 lx civic with a GSR swap. I also have 17 inch rims. But i need some upgraded brakes in the front to go along with the power i have. What would you guys recommend. And I also heard that the front brakes do 85% of the work when braking so is it worth it to convert my rear drums to disk.

i would say if anything convert the rears to discs. it will make a difference.
either try getting slotted/drilled rotors and some good pads, or if u drive ur car hard look into a brake upgrade.
I chose fastbrakes.
You can also do a gsr or si brake conversion, it might satisfy your needs.

hope that helps.

I want the best upgrade possible for the front but I also don't want to spend 2,000 bucks on brakes either. I'll probably get GSR brakes in the back but i need something better than that for the front. But remember it has to fit 17 in rims if possible

i believe all big brake kits fit under 17 inch rims. some can fit in 16', advantage of fastbrakes is fits under most 15' rims.

Has anyone installed them while using 15" 'Teg rims? I have read that there might be some fitment problems.

Also does anyone know where I can order some 10mm spacers?
