hey i was wondering what i needed to buy in order to swap my civic si brakes with nsx or s2000, i don't want to convert to 5 bolt, i just want to swap the calipers and master cylinder/brake booster. is this possible, what other options are there, or would it be cheaper if i just bought a complete big brake kit.

 

1. why do you want to upgrade your brakes?
2. Since you have no clue, big brake is out of the question for you sir

 

i want to upgrade brakes because i don't like brake fade, i want to prep for auto-x next year and i wanted to see what my options were. i do have a clue so don't be an *** about it.

this is a completely logical answer. besides, big brakes help in daily driving as well [at least in Houston lol] not just 700hp drag monsters.

it wasn't that long ago you were a n00b G2, drive slow homie

 

There are plenty of ways to upgrade your brakes. Someone has done a write-up for NSX calipers in the rear. You could always get the spoon 4x100 calipers for the front. As far as brake booster/master cylinders go, the ITR or the like 1" will suit just fine. I have yet to get that deep into my brake set-up but what I have so far is amazing. I can stop so deep/late it's rediculous. So far I have: Rear disc, Braided stainless steel lines, brembo blanks, hawk pads, 40/40 prop valve, and ITR 1" MC and matching BB.

One of the things you should also think about (if you haven't already) is suspension. AutoX is not super high speed racing so brakes won't be as big of a factor as your suspension is going to be. I would get a set up that you like, unfortunatley, that will take trial and error before you find the one you like.
