What do you guys recommend for the EF as far as brakes. I'm looking to take my car to a large road course track event and need a good set of brakes for the job. What do you all recommend I do? Thanks for any help

 

Be more specific. I can tell ya lots of setups, but what kinda rims you gonna run, what model do you have, how much do you want to spend, do you have access to a machine shop (can save you a lot of money.)

The cheapest good upgrade is to make sure to have blank front rotors and GOOD pads, like semi-ceramic, semi-metallic pads, those are a good brake boost for a replacement part.

 

a parachute

 

You just need good pads (Carbotech's, Hawk's) and bleed the fluid and have GOOD fluid in there. You don't need a brake upgrade.

 

If you want to upgrade, talk to me, i have the info.

 

i have 99 cx front and 92 ls rear its ok nothin special.

 

The first thing you should do since you mentioned "a large road course track event" is figure out which class you want to be in.

Go from there. If you class allows for a brake upgrade (swap) and if not, you obviously can't do one. But if you want to be in a class that allows it, then go for it.

But if you enter Street Modified here is a setup i would have:
90-93 Acura Integra 10.3 front rotors. Brembo rotors, hawk pads, SS brake lines, 15/16'' Master Cylinder, Integra Brake Booster, 40/40 prop valve
Rear suspension: I would either get discs from the integra or go light weight, that being the aluminum drums from the 84-87 (?) Crx Si, HF? I forget where its from.

 

Fastbrakes 11" front & rear, worth the money

 

my 89 crx is getting 93 integra all disc you can pm me if you want in like a week ill tell ya how it turns out

Ahh come on, this was your chance to advertise your sweet *** ITR brake upgrade on your rex! Not the cheapest upgrade compared to just pads but once you do it your brake issues are SOLVED and you end up with OEM brakes so quality is not a question.

What an ironic statement from you, don't you have teeth marks on the pass side of your dash from your monster brake setup??

 

I have a 91' Civic Hatch EF w/B16 and turbo. I want to take it to a 2.5-4 mile Road Course and not have to worry about the brakes fading. I don't want to spend to much but I want to be safe. Should I get Stainless Lines? I already have cross-drilled rotors and ok pads upfront and drums in the back. Thanks for any help

 

you should really read up on drilled and slotted rotors. dont believe the hype.

Read this.

Also, brake fade is from rotors overheating, so an OEM brake upgrade that uses bigger rotors (rotors being heatsinks) would be beneficial. For the weight, you can keep your rear drums, as the whole setup is about 7lbs lighter per side than discs would be. I reccomend a front upgrade, stainless lines will help your foot control, but will not decrease stopping distances or reduce brake fade.

 

Thanks so much for all your help It is greatly appreciated
