Default Good brake upgrade?

Hey all,my ride is 1994 civic HB Si.
ATM running:
Front:
Civic 'Coupe' caliper (I think its 262mm) ANSA pads with Brembo rotors
Rear:
OEM disc set.

OEM brake hoses (not lines hoses)

Atm i'm running a built D16 TURBO which gives me around 300BHP. Just finished up my project.

Now I want to improve my brakes system..and I'm here to hear your advices..so shot it up

You were able to build a 300hp d but can't find information on brakes?

Go to the brakes forum and search.

Itr swap, Wilwood brakes etc

Both require 16" wheels minimum for clearance.

I do have 16". I thought to put 4p wilwood but import to my country will cost me over 2000$ before taxes (just for front set).
Where can I find ITR brake swap?..will it fit as "Plug and Play" or should I do some changes?

And yes,I build 300bhp car now I'm looking for brake system upgrades so I came here to discuess and get some advices

I recommend brembo blank rotors and hawk pads. That's the setup I'm using, and I autocross. They're on TireRack.

Pads make a big difference. Other than that, only way for more stopping power is to go bigger. And the other factor to stopping is your tires.

Mini cooper rotors, DC2 ITR calipers/brackets, and Hawk HPS pads up front. Hawk HPS pads out back as well.

Or Stoptech SP pads on your current fronts. Stoptech SP OR hawk HPS rear.
Alternatively, HP+ front, if you don't mind the noise/corrosive dust.

Use blank rotors. I use centric usually. But...for street use, rotor brand really doesn't matter.

Good fluid goes a long way. It doesn't have to be exotic stuff. I don't know if ATE super blue is available in your country, but parts store DOT3/4 synthetic will work just fine for street use as well.

That's nice. Good for you. Here I am, still trying to be nice...

You aren't a special little snowflake. Had you even bothered to click the links I spoon-fed you, you would have seen that there is already discussion in those threads. One thread is two pages long. Two pages of "good information" and "thank you" is a pretty good indicator that no one had anything to add. The other is 7 pages of discussion. Had you bothered to spend any time reading those threads, your question would already be answered, and you wouldn't have needed to create a thread. The information is all there, easily and publicly available. Ignoring it because you "want input" is foolish, and insulting to the people who have put the time and effort into creating and maintaining the FAQ sticky.

Help us help you. Help us not waste time. Help yourself avoid ridicule. Read the FAQ sticky.
