Do you have 4 wheel disc stock?

If not just do a complete GSR swap and get all for rotors
Or if you want to shell out some cash you could ale=ways try and find a 5 lug type R conversion.

it just depends on how much money you want to spend

 

yes they are 4 wheel disc already

 

GSR calipers are a straight bolt on. add in better pads like Hawk HPS. = better braking

EDIT : is your car a coupe?

 

so should i just do the gsr swap?

 

Aren't the Ex/Si front brakes the same size as the GSR? IIRC the caipers are slightly different though. Doesn't matter upgrading the pads and lines will make a world of difference. Much more than just swapping a set of the GSR's.

 

The GSR stuff is really good, and when combined with a good SS line kit, rotors and quality pads, it is one of the best setups for not too much dosh.

 

non-abs si hatches have smaller brakes than abs si hatches. abs si hatches have the same brakes as integra's i believe

 

better pads . . . . . oh and what tires are you running?

 

i upgraded to gsr fronts and i just upgraded to a 1991 ex 4door 15/16 master cylinder (thanks b18c5-eh2 and 3G's) 100% improvement....you pads, disks, and ss brake lines and itd have madd stopping power

 

When you say GSR fronts what parts exactly? The whole entire knuckle? Rotors? Calipers?

 

Drilled rotors.
