We run EBC red stuff w/ cx small calipers on 10.4" ex/integra slotted rotors. No booster and no rear. Car traps 170mph and have never thrown the chute. Works good, but might switch to green stuff later.

92-95 ex rotors and the same as the da's but does anyone know the size on the stock vx's and will the ex/da ones work with my spindles ? thanks for the replays

The yellow, red, and green are based on heat and what range they bite and fade. The kind of racing they are talking about is road racing. Drag racing is more like hard daily driving then road racing because the brakes are cold when you hit them. GreenStuff has great cold bite.

We run the EK EX knuckles and EX rotors (10.4"). That is the smallest oem rotor that fits over the DSS hubs. Calipers are the small CX ones with CX pads. They bolt right on, but we have spacers to better center the caliper brackets on the rotors. I went with the small calipers because they have a smaller piston which requires less fluid to move. This gives the mechanical advantage back to the master cylinder/brake pedal and helps when you don't have a booster. The rotors are Power Slot (i think).

We use the Strange Engineering setup on our CRX and the Mark Williams carbon fiber setup on our sunfire.

Baby sized solid rotors here with Wilwood single piston Dynalites and crappy Wilwood pads. Car stops fine from 160, but I'd like some better pads to stop from 170+ traps, if I ever get there, lol.

I have my brake booster line removed(manual brakes), Stock calipers, auto part store pads and all original lines. The car stops at 135-138 fairly easy.
