Default Just did The big brake swap.

I did the DA brake swap today, Man i must say it made my stoping power 10 times better then the old si brakes. The swap was really easy, everything bolted up. Im gonna get an alignment tomorrow and and see how it handles, I cant tell if the camber is bad or not but i fixed the toe with a little homemade alignment kid lol. But all in all it is a good swap worth the money. Next is the acourd master cylinder and brake booster.

i heard accord and some years preludes change over

also

remember they got more weight and a bigger engine to stop

might be a good idea

unless u can get the ITR combo like some of us on here

then u ain't got to worry about the stopping but the locking up

I got an alignment today, and everything is good. Handles like a dream. the camber, Caster, and Tie Is all perfect.
I got the parts from a local Pick-N-Pull, Calipers, and knuckles for 100 bucks. Off a 92 integra with asb.
I got the booster and Master Cylinder of a 92 accord. I will have pictures soon.

yeah its the same as the 90-91 ex. CRX-SIR care to enlighten us with what upper A-arms you used? I always tell people to retain their crx a-arms and not to use the integra ones.

I will post a pic of my super brakes, too. My setup is EX knuckles from 90-91 civic, 95 prelude Vtec rotors, accord wagon calipers (typeR identical) and pads, 90-91 integra master cylinder, and stock brake booster. The combo kicks *ss!!!!
