Looking to see what people are running for brakes.
I know most people are running stock, but im curious to see what others are running if they arent running stockers.
1.Booster/or boosterless
2. Master Cylinder size
3. Calipers/pads/rotors
4. Brake Lines/Brake Fluid
5. Strengths/weaknesses of custom brake setups compared to stock.
6. What size spacer for wheels and wheel size

My Current Setup
1. ITR booster
2. 1" ITR
3. Oem/oem front,hawk rear/ Oem
4. Earls Stainless Brake lines/Oem Honda
5. Quality fit and great from the factory
6. 5mm spacer weld magnum 13x9(forgot backspacing)

Good Information so far, I expect that most people are running oem stuff since it is already super efficient from the factory. I always try to keep any and all parts on my car oem unless i need to upgrade for performance reasons. Cant beat, oem quality fit and finish!

This is that kit on my car, saved about 10lbs a side. The rotors are similar to CRX Si rear rotors and solid. The rest is aluminum including the calipers and bracket which weigh nothing.

Does the CRX SI have the bigger hub size like integra and 96-00ek ex? Just curious if these will work with the bigger DSS hubs.

1.Wilwood Master Cylinder without a brake booster
2. 3/4" master
3. Front knuckles are DC2 with oem pads and rotors
4. Goodridge SS Brake Lines in all 4 corners, need to setup my lines to only go to the front brakes
5. Not as good as my full integra booster/master setup. =\ but I am able to stop without feeling unsafe. (120-122mph to last exit on the track, not really smashing on the brakes though).
6. No spacer but I do have a backspace on my Bogart Pro-4 wheels.
Tire is a 24.5x8x13...
