I would liek to do a big brake upgrade on my EF Hatchy 88. I was wonder what are some options like brand what combo and stuff like what parts and etc. I am new to this whole EF tuning so be specific. I already have rear drum to disk conversion done. thank alot.

 

Do a search for 'big brakes'. Basically, your options are 90-91 EX knuckles or the Fastbrakes kit.

 

im lilhibbs.... he has aem rotors, some kind of good pads, and stainless steel braided lines, 275 shipped i think

 

Here ya go: http://tjshondas.20m.com/xlfronts.htm All the info you need.

 

also check out http://www.fastbrakes.com , even though there stuff is for 90-91 I'm sure you can convert everything over with some 90-91 Si Parts

 

Go with the civic EX knuckles, Accord wagon calipers, and Prelude vtec rotors. We put them on my friends CRX with 15" rims and they look huge and work great. Just make sure you shave the caliper bracket equally.

also depends on your goal for the car.. for may the fastbrakes is an overkill.. but I plan to track the car, so I will put it to good use.

http://www.fastbrakes.com all the way!

 

wilwood sells a big brake upgrade too http://www.wilwood.com

 

thank guys that's a big help... i have a friend who run an EK9 with wilwood looks nice.. aem seem like a good choice to me but the budget concern is fairly huge..

 

go with the 90-91 EX knuckles. I have that along with 90-93 teg rear disc brakes and the thing will make you kiss the windshield if you're not ready

 

nice i'm having the gsr 93 rear trailing arm for the rear drum to disk upgrade. how much stopping would i see buy upgrading the front and back to big brake kit and so forth?

 

Do you guys know if the 90-91 EX knuckles would work on my 1988 CRX HF if it had B16a?

 

the JDM SiR front discs are also an option, i believe the rotors are 10.2"
I have them, it has noticeably better stopping power.

I have these as well same size as integra rotors. VERY NICE stopping power. im thinking of doing the fast brake 11" or 11.75" upgrade with 11" rear since I am currently swapping rear disk on my EF.

 

How are the EX sedan knuckles different from DX/Si knuckles?

 

The caliper mounting positions are different on the EX than the DX/Si to accomodate for the 90-93 integra size caliper and the 90-00 Integra discs (10.3" instead of 9.5")

 

Yes, the dx/lx/ex knuckles will have the correct splines for you to put your axles in.

 

quicky question. Does any one know if the 88-89 integra front rotor would be good for this mod. Or any integra from 90-93 rotor would be the same side as the prelude vtec ones. Because i dont thing that i have to redrill to get the integra rotors on.

 

I bolted a set of NSX brakes on mine, very good they are too but they messed up the ABS so i ripped that off

 

I got GSR Brakes in front I think 98GSR with LS rotor.
Back STD brake.

Great Brakes.

 

so u saying u have GSR brakes in the front as in gsr calipers and LS rotors with what knuckles

 

Will 88 CRX HF axles fit into 90-93 Integra hubs?
