Default Braking power!!!!!

I got a 92 si non 4ws and i've been having trouble finding any good brake upgrades from good companies. I need help, if anyone knows of any good brake components to put on my lude please let me know cause i tend to wait till the last moment to stop cause i believe you will never really prove to someone that you can beat them till they see they have no chance in HELL of catching up!!!!!!!! I stop when there lights disapear from my rear view mirror!!!!!!!!! If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.

Have you replaced the brake pads with something more agressive? Have you bled the brake lines? If not, do that first and come back before you upgrade any other hardware.

Yeah, Acura Legend brakes work, and also the older model NSX brakes should work too. I think someone on here has that done.

you could also learn how to drive. Just wait for the day that something mechanical goes wrong and you can't stop. Oh well it will be too late.

just upgrade to VTEC rotors and either VTEC calipers or the legend/NSX ones. my car shaked tremendously whenever i broke. upgraded the rotors/calipers to VTEC/Legend and the shaking stopped. does it stop better? i haven't tested. do i like it much better? yes i do.

if you need the VTEC swap PM me

Stickier tires, upgraded pads, and upgraded fluid if you're getting any fade.
