Does it have ABS? because it dont say the Si model....
Also, all those models come w/ rear drums, how can u put rear disc?

& last, what do u guys think bout "drilled/slotted" brakes? (for street driving)</TD></TR></TABLE>\

Link didn't work for me so I don't know what you were looking at. ABS needs to come with the car so I doubt what you are buying will give you ABS. The actual brakes are not different, they either have or don't have the ABS sensor and lines.

If you have a 92 Si you already have rear discs.

If you race, you would probably be better off with blanks. For street driving you should be ok with slotted/drilled rotors.

 

BUMP, any help out there.....

 

HOLY CRAP thats WAY too expensive for SHITTY rotors!

 

actually you want blank if you race or if you drive on the street. Brembo only slotted and drilled their brakes to make it look nice. It really doesn't serve a purpose. Look at F1 cars they use blanks, why do you think. If I were you I would just get a set of Brembo blanks front and back and a set of nice pads. For pads I like axxis but alot of people like Hawks which I plan on trying next time I have to purchase some pads.

THANX for the help, i got a new ?.........

 

Never tried AEM pads, didn't even know they made pads - I wonder if they're reselling someone else's product.

Axxis/PBR "Ultimate" pads are fine for the street, though they're a fairly dusty pad. Since they're fine on the street, they're probably fine on small autocross courses too. But a large course (or a road course) would heat up the pads, which should change their characteristics beyond the realm of my experience, so I've got nuttin' there. I knew a couple people a few years back who swore by their Metal Master pads.

Hawk pads are recommended by a lot of the weekend racers I've met. A few like Porterfield.

Choose your pad wisely - if you're driving on the street, go with a street formulation, don't fool yourself into thinking that you'll ever warm up a hotter pad. It's possible for a street pad to grip better than a race pad if both are cold - though the race will grip better after enough hot laps, you'll never warm it up on the street.
