Default Fastbrakes.com Kit installed.

members.aol.com/hondacrxhf/fastbrakes.html

the 11" rotors with the wilwood 4 piston calipers. Very nice feel. I got the EBC Red pads and found my 60-0 stopping distance to be around 105' on Kumho Supra 712s, with only a few feet further after 3 more stops.

What sort of changes were required for the master cylinder?

I thought I posted a reply to this post...guess I didn't . Anyway, I was wondering if you found the EBCs to be good pads, as I haven't heard good things about them. I was also wondering if it is necessary to flush the brakes once a month or not - I've been told the wilwood calipers don't have dust seals or something like that so flushing monthly is necessary. Do you have any information on this?

None. It's probably a good idea to upgrade (which I will do when I get around to doing rear discs), but it's not necessary.

The EBC Red pads are race pads and are not recommended for a street car... they squeal...and squeal loudly.

The wilwood calipers don't have dust seals. I've been told bleeding all the brakes thoroughly will keep the calipers working effectively and efficiently.

How do the prices for pads (say for example Hawk Blues) compare betweeen the willwood caliper and the stock caliper?
