Rep Power: 21  |  shitty brakes alright, so this has got me pissed off... the brakes on my 2000 Si have been shitty ever since I got it- very low pedal and pressure, and it doesnt stop all that great. Now i just recently picked up a 96 hatch for my girl and it's pretty much the same. The Si has all new hawk pads and brembo rotors at all 4 corners, stainless braided lines, have replaced the mc, and flushed/bled several times with fresh syn fluid using several methods but mostly using my pressure bleeder. Basically the only thing left that I havent messed with is the calipers, lines and prop valve which afaik are factory original parts. the hatch has the stock front configuration and a gsr rear disc swap, we have replaced all 4 calipers and pressure flushed/bled several times. the brakes on both cars suck compared to my 94 ex coupe with hawks and brembos all around. I have done all the brake work on that car as well, and have never had a problem with it. any thoughts?

Rep Power: 21 | yeah I'm pretty sure the Si is the biggest you can go before the 1" abs version, all non-abs ITRs run the same size mc as the Si. I've actually been considering swapping the Si mc into the hatch and getting a 1" for the Si just as upgrades for both but at this point I'm doubting that will fix the existing issues |
