Rebuild your brakes - where did you get the stuff?
Anyone who has rebuilt their front and/or rear brake calipers (90-91 Si disc), where did you get your rebuild kit? Did you just order the specific gaskets/seals from Honda, or did you get them at your local parts store? (ie pep boiz, autozone)

I work in a garage and had the same question in my head, so I was asking all of the techs there and they all just said to buy rebuilt calipers.

Hmmm... I mean rebuilding the brakes seems pretty easy, and it would be really cheap if I did it myself. OEM rebuilt ones are like $100 each!

get some gsr brakes system for the front and your set never have problems with braking again.. 
Gsr brakes are ment to stop heavier cars since ur car is a swap and a hatch = great braking power. also just get the fronts don't need the back leave the back stock
the brakes grab bad!!!

Rebuild kits are a BIG PITA... and not worth the cash. They're actually quite pricey, and if you want to hear something ridiculous, it's actually cheaper to buy a rebuilt rear brake cylinder than it is to buy the rebuild kit and DIY
