Default Need help with selecting brakes.

I was thinking of doing an ITR 5lug conversion with ITR wheels. Do you think thats a good idea for track and daily driving? Or should i keep my 4x100 and get some 16" volk t37's and a willwood brake kit in the front with 4x100 si discs in the back? Also what kind of brake master cylinder should i be using with either setup? I want more stopping power for my B18c which is going to go turbo soon.

if you have the money i would go for a fastbrakes set-up. But the itr brakes are awesome for a street/track car. Plus the parts are cheap too.

use ITR brakes for ease of install and value. though i'm not sure if you'll have to upgrade the master cylinder and the rest of the brake system.

the standard brake ? answer in here is:

better tires, better pads.

it seems almost too simple, but it's right.

...and performance. For the money/accessability of parts, you really can't beat the ITR setup.
