I was looking for a brake set up for my future jdm h22a motor/tranny swap in my hatch soon. I found the front and rear kit using 11 inch rotor all around. Wondering if this is a good kit to use? I know I would have to use 15/16 master cylinder from a civic ex or better yet a acura integra brake booster and cylinder upgrade. Only concern I have with the acura bb/mc is the h22a intake manifold might hit it. Although is fastbrakes way to go?

 

What are you doing with the car exactly?

 

i want to be able to stop good with the h22a swap.

alright well, it'll be a daily driver and some times at the auto-x event.

 

You probably will be more then ok with a ex front setup and good pads in the rear.

Maybe you might want to step up to a 1" MC

Some h22 guys will probably chime in to help.

 

i would want some rear disc brakes in as well. the fasbrake has a kit for the rear disc and wouldnt have to change out the whole trailing arms.

 

Well, I've had the FB 11" front kit on my car for several years now, and have nothing bad to say about it. If you have the $$, I don't see any reason not to get the full kit that you want. Since I have a ZC, I'm not sure on clearance - if you don't get a response here on point, might be worth it to call Brian at FB and see if any of his other customers have run into the same issue.

If you do get the kit, Brian's a great guy to work with.

 

i hope somebody would chime in before i make that call.

 

You DONT need to change your MC or BB......It will be JUST fine. If its an Si anyway......

The only thing you will need to do for your goals with your car is get good pads and better rotors. Changing the rear to disk is quite unnecessary.

 

i put 10.3in integra rotors with ITR calipers on the front of my civic. left the stock drum. stops like a hot damn

 

Hey, i have the 11" fastbrakes kit and its good. Parts fit like oem, And works like a charm!

Yes you would def need to upgrade your MC when doing the big brakes up front!
A 15/16's or 1" will do and help get the firm pedal feel back.

Oh, i didn't buy the fastbrakes rotors because the price is crazy!
Just buy brembo blanks and save alot of $$

 

how much did the brembo blanks run you? and can you just buy the kit and not the rotor?

 

anybody esle?

 

i just run da brakes and they work great and there cheap swaps i canyon my car constantly and i run autozone life time replacement pads(never have to pay for brake pads again), and super blue racing brake fluid here is a link to a vid of a canyon run of mine it's very harsh on brakes but i never have a problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x4lfDSE_n4 da brakes for the win

You don't need brembo blanks...just buy fastbrakes' 11" blank rotors. They are basically vw sirocco (s/p?) rotors. I run the 11" wilwood kit up front with blank rotors and teg rear discs.

Please remember that you only stop as fast as your tires can help you. You can have a GREAT brake setup, but if you're running 13" steelies you negate any benefit of the brakes.

 

i would be runing 15's with bfg g-force tires.

edit: they dont make them in 15's

the size of the rim has nothing to do with stopping power you can have 13's with racing slicks with stock brakes and have better stopping power than a well setup car on shity street tires i think that's what you where getting at thought o yeah in your case i would use falkin azienes they are cheap and have a lot of grip that or hankook rs2's either are great street/auto x tires
