anyone w/ fastbrakes 11" spec R upgrade?
i am interested in the 11" spec R brake upgrade from fastbrakes, which would be composed of ITR calipers and 11" rotors, supposedly the caliper mounting bracket would need to be trimmed, the dust shield would need to be trimmed and bent back, i wonder if anyone had done the install and how do they fit? how about performance? do they haul down the integra pretty good?

for street driving, it made no noticeable difference
on track, the car feels great

i was mainly interested for street driving, so it made no apparent difference huh? i was hoping a better pedal feel...
i've done a big brake upgrade on my 90 eclipse GST from single piston to dual piston and that made a huge difference in terms of pedal feel and fade resistance, i guess either the GSR oem brakes are good enough and the ITR doesn't make that big of a difference to be felt on the street...

the gsr and itr have same diamater piston
for you, for the best street performance, i'd reccomend some cobalt friction GT-Sports brake pads, along with some new blank rotors
maybe some steel braided brake lines,
and a complete brake flush
break them in properly, and you'll be very happy

Regardless of the suspension (as that has no effect on how the brakes will feel), if those Hawk pads aren't the worthless HPS pads you should feel a significant difference if you put everything on and bled the system correctly.
