i have been doing some reading and ive read in some articles that if u get a bigger engine such as a b16 or b18, etc, that it is necessary to get a better braking system for ur car such as brembo brakes or something in that nature. because isnt the stock brake system in a car just enough for the whole car set up?(best way i can put it into words ) or is it koo to leave the stock brake setup w/ a B series swap??? please correct me if im wrong. thnx

 

im sure that you will be fine with the stock brakes.
unless your doing maby somdkinda autox then you would want a shorter stoping distance.
I would say that its up to you if you want it or not.

 

what do u think is better, upgraded or stock?

 

Depending on the car your putting the swap into you may have to change your knuckles anyways so why not upgrade to a larger OEM set up?

The general consensus is with a larger motor you'll probably be going faster, and you will want to stop faster too.

 

You are better off upgrading your stock brake pads, its cheap and you will notice the difference. Considering aftermarket brake pads cost the same as stock ones. You really can't go wrong. A cheap brake upgrade would be front/rear brakes from 90-93 integra. Just make sure your wheels can clear the calibers if you go that route.

 

<<<< ----- get in before all the negative people come in and start saying integra brakes will throw off your whole geometry of alignment.

crxgator just did his and got it aligned and it is all in spec.

 

I ran the teg set up on my crx with no problems, and it's on my hatch now, and once it's running I'm sure it will be fine too.

 

so i dont need to upgrade EVeryTHIG such as rotors, calipers, etc? thats on me if i want to change everything right? so just pads will do just fine with the upgrade.

nope, just get the knuckes with the rotors and calipers (new brakes while your there. You will see more breaking power deffinatly. And then down the road you might want to add the rear brake swap, and put the integra master cyliner in. But for now the upgraded fronts will work wonders.

 

koo, thnx for the info appreciate it

the upgraded brakes are going to be better

 

If you drive stupid fast on the freeway,
the teg brakes will save your ***.
It's a great upgrade.

 

LOL, stupid fast I thought I was the only one who said that. Ok back to the original post, you should try out some brake pads first before you go dumping loads of money on entire brake upgrade package. Since the pads will only run you like $30 or less you can't beat it.
