Default What kind of suspension??? What kind of brake upgrade??

What are you guys running?

I have recently purchased a 1991 DX and plan on building it. My other car is an ITR and the 2 things I love most about my Teg is the handling and the braking.
So right now my first priorities are to make the car turn and stop faster.

Considering getting GSR brakes for my car, as I have access to them since my buddy did an JDM ITR upgrade on his GSR

but I have no idea about suspension, I dont need coilovers, I was thinking just springs and shocks (since they need replacing anyways)

but what about sway bars and bushings, tie bars etc etc

bilestien shocks w/ neuspeed race springs. drop car 2.5" 's and it is stiff as hell. ya just gotta combat too much / \ -= camber dont go over 3* of - camber for street driving.

good luck.

I dont know about brakes cause i got cross drilled 91 Si brakes all around and new high perf pads. The car stops on a dime as it is.

you can use the spindles and 10.3" rotors from the 1990-91 civic EX and a larger master cylinder. do a search for which kind.

Koni yellows and ground controls are the only way i'd go.
