Just get some GSR front brakes and a 1" Master cylinder/brake booster combo.

 

jdm d15 LOL

just get a good set of brake pads from MATT at CARBOTECH....

 

I second the brake pad comment.

 

Whats wrong with the jdm d15? i dont have a whole lot of money to throw around.

 

Can't go wrong with a decent set of brake pads.

And what's up with the "JDM D15"?

 

Im just looking for a inexpensive engine to do my auto to manual conversion.So i looked into getting a d15b sohc vtec from hmo.

 

depending on how cheap you wana go

1)steel brake lines
2)GSR brakes
3)New brake fluid
4)rotors

what are your goals for the car ?

Save up for DOHC !

 

oh yah i have drums in the back .For the goals of the car nice lil motor and a paint job.I could go for a b16 but im just not sure theres a lot of stuff going through my mind about the car.

 

the drums are fine. just a pain in the *** to service.

 

Why not go with the D16Z? You can find one for less than you'll be paying for that.

You can't go wrong with either though.

 

The guy in your avatar looks like my old biology teacher. Do you go to Franklin and is that Kashner.

Is the ride bouncy? It's probably your stock shocks that are giving you a problem. Those are good springs, they just need some aftermarket shocks to back 'em up

And mad props on doing the auto-manual conversion. You should post and let everyone know how it went when it's done. I had an auto myself at one time (different car than the one I have now) but didn't know enough to do the swap.

 

GSR brakes with some AEM pads is really an cheap and very effective set-up. I highly recommand it for a cheap alternative route.

 

Go with Brembo discs (~$90/pr) and Porterfield RS4 Pads($89). Night and day from stock. Also, bleed the brakes & put in so high quality fluid in there. I've got this setup in my lightly modified 92 Si and it works beautifully.

 

doesn't the d15b make as much power as a z6?
