I'm trying to decide what would be the best route to upgrade the brakes in my 92 integra 4dr. So far these are the options that have come up,
-Keep stock rotors and just upgrade to better pads
-Brebo cross-drilled rotors (and better pads)
-AEM rotors conversion (larger rotor, uses stock caliper)
-Using 92-96 Prelude VTEC front rotors (re-drilled to 4x100) + Accord calipers ( http://hybrid2.honda-perf.org/bigbrakes.html )

The last one is the one I'm leaning towards, but it creates a couple problems. I think I'll have to go to a bigger master cylinder (Type R maybe?), and without upgrading the back, I think I'll have a proportioning issue with too much braking up front.

(PS, I have 17's on the car so I should have a fair bit of room to work with larger setups)

Any suggestions, comments, recomendations?

 

slotted rotors will last WAY longer then drilled rotors! I would only recomend drilled rotors if you are only racing the car.

 

brembo blanks, good pad and a good bleading job.

what are your plans for the car? most cars do not need slotted or x-drilled. Have you also looked into http://www.fastbrakes.com?

Thanks for the advice guys. Brake upgrades are something new to me, so I'm likely going to ask some dumb questions. As far as the cross drilled vs. slotted vs. brembo blanks rotors go. It sounds like I might as well just go with the Brembo blanks. They're likely cheaper in the long run. Any recomendations on that Accord/Prelude conversion that I posted the link to?

I'm looking for something that's not going to fade quick. The car's a daily driver, but I'm putting in a built B20-VTEC in about a month, so I figure I should upgrade the brakes to match. Also, I think I'd like to try out some autocross this year.

 

brembo blanks and axxis ultimate or hawk hps pads....thats what im guna do..
