I currently have a full GSR brake conversion i my 94 civic coupe. I am thinking I want to upgrade a little bit. What would you fellow members suggest? The car when complete will be producing about 400whp daily driven on pump gas. I dont need this post turning into a post about my motor. Just trying to figure out the brake situation. I need to be able to stop this car. Are there any full kits out there that are worth while? Or would i be better off piecing together a setup. I dont want to have to go any bigger than a 15" wheel if possible, and for sure no bigger than 16" but I want to stay 15" if possible.

Thanks

 

doesnt the wilwood offer a kit that fits under 15's? i think i remember seeing a EM1 with them with his stocks still on.

Only one that will fit a 15" wheel I believe.

 

also forgot to add, I am looking at upgrading all 4 corners. but i guess i could piece something together for the rear

 

I believe fastbrakes has a rear upgrade as well as a front upgrade.

 

fugget about the rear - if you got disks in the rear, that's good enough. all the kits out there for the rear are cosmetic upgrades for show cars IMO. And really, don't have your heart set on 15 inch wheels, as a lot of braking power comes from simply having the caliper farther out on a bigger rotor. I noticed my Wilwood pads pretty much have the same area as the stock pads. The wilwood big brake kit fits under some 16 inch wheels. see my post to the guy where to topic was "wilwood brakes?" I think. Also, pad material is directly related to stopping power AND the life of your rotor. More gripping power = more rotors.

 

So is a Brake upgrade from teh GSR brakes even a good idea then. Or should i stick with those seeing as how i want to keep a 15" wheel?

 

personally i would just get brembo blanks or power stop slotted with some nice pads. Axxis or Hawk
