Default Yes another brake question!

Ok here is the deal. I got a 91 std hatch. Im going to buy the full front and rear brakes off a da including the 4040 this weekend, for $150. My first question is, are the fronts really worth it? or should i just stick with the rear conversion? My other question is should i get the brake booster and master cylinder to, or should i use the crx si mc/bb i have in the garage? All opinions will be appreciated. And yes i did search, just want opinions. Thanks

the fronts are worth it...bigger brakes are always better...u can upgrade to ITR or GSR calipers and even go with the 11" brake upgrade...that's a sweet deal.

Yes, you want the booster and MC (260v is non abs/290v is ABS you will need the rear line fitting). That is a no brainer. Whenever you are swapping out brakes you want to use as many pieces from that system as possible. You would put a TL fender on a CRX would you?

Rear disc only gives you the advantage of being able to service the brakes quicker/easier.

I'm locking this because you have your answers. And the same answer exists in all of the other brake threads like this one.

And in the end you are going to do what you want anyways.

Thanks
