Default Upgrading Brakes....

I just finished my b16a swap in my sol and now plan to upgrade the old, worn brakes...anyone have any suggestions on what to do? Im not going all out with a bbk, just some reasonably priced rotors, pads and lines, basically something decent that doesn't break my wallet..thanks

Maybe you should consider a GS-R brake conversion.

does your sol already have rear discs? I would recommend just getting some brembo blanks, AEM pads and earls/goodridge SS lines. While you are at it, get a set of speedbleeders and some ATE brake fluid.

From what I have read, and my personal experience the Axxis Ultimate is one of the best street performance pads you can buy.
