I have a 95 SRV (vtec) and I was looking at the rotors the other day and noticed that my front are bigger than my rear (prolly generally known but I just noticed.. whatever)
My question is Can I get a pair of stock front rotors on the rear, will this help my braking system at all?

Basically I have a guy that can sell me a set of stock front SRV rotors cheap and I was wondering if its worth the work to put them in

Thanks

 

Nope, it is not worth it. In fact...if you upgrade your rear brakes too much....it will throw off you braking system.

The front brakes take 80% of the brake while the rear only take the remaining 20%.

Best thing to do on your car to inprove braking is upgrade your brake pads and tires. VTEC Ludes really don't need bigger calipers.

Hope this helps.

 

brake rotors won't help the braking as much as tires and pads?

that's right. as mentioned above.. it will throw off the bias. and that actually puts you worse off than having smaller rotors to begin with. Now if you were to upgrade both front and rear proportionally, that would help. (i was told that it was more of a 70/30 bias)..but anyway most stopping power comes from the power of the calipers and the brake pads. good tires ensure traction under hard braking. The reason for larger rotors is more surface area for stopping, but also, surface area for dissipating heat.
