Default 90-93 accord big brake upgrade(FINALLY)

So I did it I have a 92 Accord LX. First I upgraded to rear disc from an EX. Next I upgraded to Accord wagon calipers and rotors. I installed new front wheel bearings too. And Lastly I used a 4040 proportioning valve. Pictures and a write up will be coming soon.

It locks up the front tires at 65 no problem

Isnt the ability to lock up the tires at 65 the exact opposite of what you wanted?

how is that the opposite? he wanted bigger brakes and thats what he got. bigger brakes will make it easier to stop. being able to lock his tires up at 65 isnt always a bad thing. it means that you have more stopping power. you just have to be carefull of how hard you step on your brakes. brake checks could be scary!!!
