Default 92 front brake upgrade!

is it possible to replace the hub and rotor with the 6th gen hub and rotor (to ease the task of replacing the rotor in the future) and keep the original caliper and bracket?
IF YES...will there still be an issue with the rotor getting warped like the original rotor?
Thanks

the problem is, by only upgrading the front, you will hurt your braking performance by throwing off the proportioning valve that is setup for the car with stock brakes. To what degree is probably calcuable, but I'm sure it'll be more than a ft or two. You need to look into it a little further. If you want to keep the same size rotor, then it's okay, and you can actually upgrade to an Acura CL hub for easier rotor changes.

Basically, the rule is, either upgrade front and rear equally, or get an adjustable proporitioning valve (you actually need two if I recall for most hondas), to help bias the rear brakes a little more to compensate.
