guys i got a turbo civicwith stock oem brake system. car brake is really bad i cant rely on it.

swapping to performance brake pads will i feel huge difference or nothing at all?

 

What is really bad about the braking? Are you running a check valve in the booster vacuum hose and if so is it installed in the correct direction?

 

No bro everything is stock oem, but I got more than 400whp and brake gets weak after a couple of hard braking.

Can't afford a brake system..was thinking of rotors and brake pads only..

What do you guys think?

 

you need something to make sure that the brake booster only see's vacuum, not boost. the brake booster relies on vacuum to generate enough force on the master cylinder to brake effectively.

how does the brake pedal feel? does it get all soft and mushy, or does it go straight to the floor. if you're running stock pad + old shitty fluid you may be boiling your fluid if you're trying to do 0-100-0-100-0-100-0.

if this is the case, you need pads + rotors + and MOST IMPORTANTLY quality fluid in the entire system from the reservoir to the calipers. don't go cheap, get something like ATE super blue.

 

You really gave me 2nd thoughts to check my vacuums I do have T's.

Pedal is soft and goes all the way in. I was about to put in some DOT4 brake fluids thought it might help..since you said so ill do that. But I gotta see what I can find here. I think I can find castrol only

 

make sure you do more than just adding it in... flush the whole system, especially if you haven't done so recently. ATE super blue is what i recommend since it is blue instead of amber like most all of the other fluids. that way you can tell when it reaches the calipers, etc.

 

You have to get it fixed. The brake is among the most important features. You can't drive and not have peace at all.
