Icon5 1991 ef sedan front brake options

looking to upgrade front brakes. car will make 600+ soon and well stopping power is a must specially at the track.

what are other brakes maybe from other Hondas that make a drastic difference from stock ones? if not after market ones?

For a direct fit, the sedan EX has large rotors.
Not sure what kind of track you are racing on, but for everything other than drag racing, you should be looking into a multi-piston caliper.

EX has the same rotor as the DA Integra and the Civic Si-R

If you need something bigger and want to keep the cost low, check out the kits from fastbrakes.

You could use those on a DA knuckle.
DA knuckle fits the EF chassis pretty well.

This is what I was thinking -

Since you have DA knuckles, you should be able to bolt on any BBK that applies to the Integra without using any adapter plate.

The only real limitation would be your wheel size.
