Default Asking for some input for you guys

I have a 01 gsr, I am looking to do a complete brake upgrade. I am looking to do ss brake lines, front and rear rotors and pads. I want to do goodyear brake lines, brembo drilled rotors, and ebc green stuff pads. Would you guys recomend something different? if so post up please. I am looking for a good daily driver set up plus spring is coming and its time for some auto x thanks in advance for the help. Post up some pics of what your setups look like thanks


BTW... if you know any good sites or people on ht to buy from that would be very helpful

Stock hardware with good pads and fluid. Call Carbotech or Cobalt - either one has the products you desire.

New pads are all that are necessary and some new stock rotors if yours are too thin. Don't waste your money on drilled rotors. Buy stock blanks.

Plus, you didn't state what autocross class your car is going to be in. Many do not allow brake upgrades.

What do you guys think about the ss brake lines, I am really interested in gettting a set? I am going between brembo drilled or blanks I need some convincing to go either way. I had power slot rotors and ebc green stuff on my crx worked great. I am just looking into different possibilities. Thanks for the post!

There have been probably hundreds of discussions here and elsewhere on the internet about rotor types - all have basically reached the conclusion that on typical production-based cars there's no measurable benefit to drilled rotors.

On a car as new as a 2001, it's unlikely that the original brake lines have deteriorated to a point where replacements are warranted. There's no point, and for autocrossing, they could bump you up a class.

Uh, goodridge brake lines? I think it makes for a good upgrade, but not worth getting kicked out of a stock class for. In a car like an Integra, I would go for something other than the EBC pads. I recommend the Cobalt pads personally.
