This is my scenario, im running brembo big brakes atm, the thing is i want some mugen wheels and i want to go 16's instead of 17. Now the only way i can run mugen wheels w/out having to run any spacers is to go with smaller brakes. Now my question is does anyone know if Mugen Big Brakes are any good? I know its not better than brembo but any suggestion would work. Im trying to stick to the all mugen theme but i need to know if these brakes are any good cause im running on boost and i do take my car to the tracks. Any suggestions?

 

hey whats up I have the mugens on my car and I love em but you're probably right not quite as good as brembo but they are good

 

how is the stop response on it? I just want to make sure they are good enough to stop for boost vehicles. Debating if i should get the mugen brakes or even spoon brakes if i really have to

 

you will be very surprised at the response they have my 2000 civic ex has a dynoed HP of 276 and they stop it just fine

 

hmm.....ok i will think about it and maybe consider it. i really like mugen so i want to stick to their brand. Thx for the tip!

 

no prob. any time

 

anything mugen is good

lol what does engine hp and brakes have to do with each other. not trying to be an *** just curious.

 

well what about a car that can go around 4-500 hp? Are these brakes any good? I just want to make sure my car is able to stop and have any problems stopping when in case of emergency even though Mugen is a good brand.

My friend has a ~450hp turbo GSR in his civic and is running stock brakes. I think you'll be fine with your mugen stuff.

Absolutely nothing. Weight and speed are what determine good brakes. Even then it is mostly only weight.
