Default what brakes will fit?

i have HX rims on my 93 EX coupe,and i aready had to save down my calipers to fit on the rims. if i were to get aftermarket big breaks, which of them will fit?

i am guessing that i could use my stock EX calipers and just get slotted rotors? if i were to get bigger rotors, they would still fit inside the 14" rims right? i dont think the rims are deep enough to hit the rotors.

any suggestions? brembo, willowood, etc? best set-up with my rims??

i wouldnt recommend getting slotted stock size rotors, but i would recommend the willwood/itr brake setup if you are into autoxing

the reason i say this is becuase the stock ventilated honda discs do a well enough job for every day braking, and considering you dont want to rid yourself of the HX wheels with minimal clearance, no other "big" brake kit would fit under the 14's.....IMHO, stay with stock discs and maybe upgrade the pads, and if you wanted to really "beef" up the brake system, you will definitely have to upgrade the wheels

use the search and you'll find plenty of info on brake systems for you car
