Default Civic Wilwood/ITR brake setup...

Yes, I did a search!

I'm trying to decide on the most ideal brake setup for the fronts... I'm looking at the $600 deal on fastbrakes... 4-pot wilwood calipers and 11" 1pc rotors. That seems like the best bang for the buck, except for the issue that I'll probably have to run wheel spacers on my 95 GSR rims. What issues are there in running spacers? Will the effective offset be so bad that I'll be rubbing my tires and the wheelwell? Will I get a more tail-happy car? I'm not sure of the ramifications of a wheel spacer (10mm!) that thick!

The other setup will be like this:
~$725
ITR calipers
2pc. StopTech AeroRotors (11.1")
Axxis Ultimate pads

or...
~$450
ITR calipers
1pc PowerStop slotted rotors (11")
Axxis Ultimate pads...

Both ITR options should fit w/out a spacer, although I don't know what 11" rotor there is w/ a 4x100 lug pattern that'll fit...

I'm still trying to save for a motor buildup (forged slugs & swingers, standalone)... so I'm having a very hard time trying to figure out what'll work! I really like the wilwood setup... any input from ppl who have them??

Ahhhhhhh... I forgot the "archived topics" search... the Wilwood setup will fit underneath my 95 GSRs...

Now I'm worried about the front/rear brake balance... how much are the adjustable brake proportioning valves???

Does anyone know if the brake setup for the stock 15's (with smaller rotor) will result in longer braking distances than the setup with the larger rotor?
TIA
