well, my current suspension is all stock with a set of neuspeed sprts springs, and thats it. im not going to be a huge autocrosser/roadracer, but i really need to improve my cars handling, as well as braking.

now, i read a little about using the nsx brake setup on my integra, but didnt really find all the info i need, i just wanna upgrade the front brakes as of now

mostly im just looking for suggestions on a coil-over/ shock setup, im just now starting to worry about the handling aspect of my car. TIA-justin

 

Since it seems this mainly for the street and not much autocross, then get a set of non-adjustable Tokikos and Axxis Ultimate pads with new fluid.

A caliper swap is unnecessary and overkill. Stock calipers with good pads and fresh fluid is all you need.

 

I agree with CLM for the brakes just get pads. I have heard great things about Carbotech and they have new Bobcat pads for an upgrade or others which will be more of an autocross pad.

As for supsenion look at a rear swaybar. Shocks are a good upgrade, however going coilover might be overkill.

 

yea, it will be mostly street, wheres a good place to get those shocks??

also, i would like opinions on a set of rotors too, mine are getting a little wore out..

Rotors? AutoZone, Brembo, etc. You should be able to get some for $30 each, no matter what you buy.

Yep. Although you may able to find them as low as $20 a piece.

Well, not Brembo. I was just trying to say that you could buy a top notch product and still not spend more than $30.

I'm using Cobalt/Centric G3000 that I paid $29 each for.

 

~$24 and ~$30 from NOPI not including shipping. Either way, $30 is still a good price and buys all the better of a rotor you need. But I'd get one from a local auto parts store; cheaper and readily available.

I've never bought from NOPI, so I'm still thinking of Colletti Motorsports, up in your neck of the woods (Columbus?). I might give them a try, but I'm thinking I'm going to like my G3000 rotors enough to keep buying them.

 

NOPI was good. Pretty quick shipping, but in some cases I think it would be better to pay an extra $5-10 +tax and get it local toa void shipping.

And I've only heard good things about Colletti. And there somewhere in the Ohio region; a bit north of Columbus if I recall corectly.

 

If you are really looking for better braking, you should just get better tires.
If you are not going to autox/road race or you are not much into turning, why bother upgrading the suspense. Just get better shocks when you current ones breaks.

 

well, my stock shocks are starting to get a little bouncy, and although i dont really road race, i still love the curves, and want a stiffer ride.

so the tokikko non adjustables would be a good recommendation?

Adjustables are the way to go. I think KYB AGX are good. I would probably get the Koni sports, since they, supposedly, will ride a little better than AGXs when set to their lowest setting.

Try looking at the shox.com website. eBay usually has AGXs available for a reasonable price.

Tires are more important than brake pads for braking distance. Better pads help too, but their true benefit is fade resistance, which OEM pads lack.
