I was thinking of upgrading my '95 Integra GSR's OEM stock brake calipers for new calipers with higher stopping power. My main concern while doing the upgrade; the new calipers need to clear when I roll on my 15" Mugen RNR wheels. I've found so far the Mugen caliper kit to fit, but I want to know if anyone else has other suggestions or options?

Thanks everyone.

I have the Acura Legend 2-pots in the front, clear my 96 spec ITR wheels just fine. The ITR caliper is a bit smaller, but will upgrade braking significantly over your current GSR setup. The Legend 2-pot is the most amazing thing that ever happened to me, I paired this off w/an 11" VW Corrado rotor...f-in amazing.

RNR's should easily clear (same size/offset as my 96spec wheels) the legend and/or Type R caliper.

fastbrakes sells the whole kit, w/the re-drilled 11" rotor and shaved bracket for a good price if your looking for a "straight" swap.

 

Hey thanks a lot for the respond. It really helps to see another side.

I'm thinking of doing this too

 

280mm mini cooper rotors and accord v6 calipers, direct bolt on and easy to come by. should run around $200 total if you shop around

 

What year Mini Cooper, and 11" VW Corrado rotor?

 

i ordered my rotors for an 05 non S version, im pretty sure they are all the same

 

No they are not all the same.

 

ITR calipers and Legend GS or non-GS calipers use the same pad. ITR Calipers with 28t brackets and legend gs rotors is the best oem upgrade I've done that will fit under most all 15" wheels. I prefer ITR calipers because they are cheaper and easier to find. I've got Legend gs calipers and rotors on the street car with hawk hps(I think, its been a while) pads and the stopping power is impressive. No fade when they get hot. The legend gs rotors are huge when compared with stock integra rotors. I've got ITR calipers with 28t brackets and legend gs rotors on the race car.

You could probably do the itr caliper upgrade using re-drilled prelude rotors for $150. Calipers are about $100 through rockauto and they always have close out deals on rotors for like $10. Find a cheap set of pads and provided you're doing the work yourself you are ready to rock.

Ultimately though you are limited by your tires. I'm using hawk dtc-60 pads on my race car and it is not all that hard to lock up a tire on the front, if you are standing on the pedal, they will lock up. That's with 225 hoosier r6's. That said, my little crx stops on a dime

 

 

Your calipers don't need more stopping power as other have said. Brake pads will make the most noticeable difference in how your brakes feel and stop. In my opinion if you are wanting brakes that have a strong initial bite driving around town and you are not getting the brakes SUPER hot, I liked the EBC greenstuff pads.

If you are just wanting to upgrade the brakes for looks or are overheating your brakes with the proper pads the next step up from gsr brakes would be an 11 inch rotor and ITR calipers. To keep 4 lug that would be the mini cooper rotor and the type r/accord wagon calipers.

 

i mean the non S versions are all the same
