Default 4 lug brake upgrade for my Sol

I've got a VTEC del sol, so it stops pretty good, 4 wheel disk and everything, I was just reading through some 5 lug upgrade to NSX calipers and getting jealous.

What are some decent upgrade options for my car? And yeah, I searched unfortunatly it decided to filter out "four" or "4" which makes the search pretty useless.

can you tell me what are some honda options that if they were worth it, I could get new wheels to fit? Like I thought I read about the possibility of some acura bolt ons?

I was wondering about this for when I get some better discs to replace my aging ones... I have a del Sol Si with four wheel disc, could I get DC2 discs that are slightly larger but use the Sol calipers, would there be any benefit. I know it would be marginal at best but the rotors seem to be all the same price

bigger rotors need bigger calipers for the most part

I have a DOHC Delsol. I put the AEM four piston big brake system on my car. It's a bolt on system. That system made a world of a differance in braking. They look awsome behind my wheels too. Finding a seventeen inch wheel with the right offset was a bitch though. Good luck bud!

17's on a Sol.... not my cup of tea. Get some stainless lines all the way around and simply upgrade your pads. If you want more than that ( unless your tracking the car) upgrade your rotors to slotted. I also upgraded my brake cylinder to the GSR one (15/16) I think. I can stop on a dime and tell you the date on it.

thanx for the info, yeah I personally don't go for huge wheels either, you slam the thing and it's still way off the ground.
