i do my share of 100+ from time to time on the h-way but its not like i do that every day it just with all the work done on my car i'm just wondering if i would be able to stop

 

Brakes are the most neglected modification on a car. Everyone wants to go fast, no one wants to stop. But if you're not doing any heavy mountain runs, or racing of sort just go with new pads, lines, and fluid. If you're planning on doing something go with the Legend GS / NSX upgrade. I think kev will tell you it kicks *** when he gets it in.

just get VTEC rotors, and either 4th gen VTEC, 5th gen prelude, ITR, NSX, or Legend Calipers, and of course, true hi performance pads, mainly from http://www.carbotecheng.com

 

Is the ITR/4th Gen VTEC/5th Gen system worth it? Isn't it more cost efficient to just go straight to the NSX/Legend setup from the start? They both fit under stock rims, is the price difference that high between the two?

Well, yea but dual piston calipers wno't really help much for STREET applications, you will get just as much braking force out of a single piston.. Now, for track driving, dual would be better.... All in all, they all use the same pad, so not to big of a difference..

 

You can use CRV calipers too, they are the same as the 5th gen prelude.

 

True true, just wondering since I didn't think the price differnece would be that high. But I'm also one who says "do it once, do it right."
