Default Brake Pads & Rotors

My car has a bit over 13 K miles on it. I want to get better stopping power.

There is the colleti motorsports (http://www.collettimotorsports.com) package that gets you new rotors.
Do the job right with everything you need. Complete brake package for 94-01 Acura Integra (except Type-R*)


Kit contains:
1 Set of four (4) Goodridge Steel Braided brake lines
1 liter of ATE Super Blue (more than enough to do the job)
2 Brembo front Rotors
2 Brembo Rear Rotors
Hawk HP+ pads for the front
Hawk HP+ pads for the rear
Shipped anywhere in the Continental USA for $415.95
But do I really need to upgrade the rotors to get better stopping power? can I just do the brake fluid, lines, and pads and get the same effect?

maybe this is lame and dont really feel like searching, but if this kit fits G3 except ITR's is that safe to say that the brake sizes on the ls and gsr are the same in OE set up...couldn't be. Or is it that this is just slightly better in the gsr and alot better improvement in the ls?

anyone???

well, the pads will certainly give you a noticable improvement.

you may or may not feel the difference with the brake lines and/or rotors.

I changed just the fluid to Motul synthetic and Porterfield R4S pads and there was a huge difference in braking. So to answer your question, No, you don't need everything else on that list. It's nice to have it but if you are on a budget like me than you can skip the other stuff and just go with pads and fluid. But if you change the fluid, make sure you get all of the old regular fluid out. You don't want to mix the two.

When I get a chance, I want to try out the ATE Blue brake fluid as well. I've heard only good things about it. And Colletti is a very good guy to deal with.
