upgrade the brake size...go with a fastbrakes kit, 10.3" or 11.1" stock rotors, 94-01 integra calipers and some hawk pads. its worth every penny. its better than rocking some expensive slotted and drilled **** and not noticing any real difference.

even for a swap motor, you don't need fastbrake unless you are dragging or doing heavy mods. if you are a weekend warrior and it's your dd, i'd suggest you get a better brake pads, a pair of new oem rotors and flush your system.

mine is a dd and i autox very often. i'm using generic rotors w/hawk hp+ in the front and oem rear shoes at the rear. after you flush your system and replace the old rusty rotor, you'll be amazed how the car can stop this quick.

just my 2cents.

With Brembo blanks, Hawk HPS pads (I have HF front brakes, so only HPS hawks are available), completely flushed brake fluid, along with rear Si discs and Autozone pads, my CRX stops awesome. In fact, after bleeding the brakes a year ago, I just bleed them again to get out more garbage in the lines.

Since this setup stops so damn good, I am going to upgrade to the Si front calipers, get the HP+ pads, and the Brembo blanks again. At the same time I'll be adding Stainless steel lines for even better brake feel.

There's really no reason for the Integra brakes. CRX's are so light they do not require a ton of braking force.
