okay i have 90-93 integra hubs, spindles, and calipers on my 91 crx. now when purchasing sexy new rotors, do i need to buy them for da of ef?

 

[fionntan]

Buy them for the car they came off of (da).

 

[jowilson275]

thats what i figured. just wasn't sure if there was any real size difference

 

[fionntan]

There may be, but you want the ones that will fit with the integra parts because thats what they are from.

 

[jowilson275]

ok cool. getting some drilled and slotted rotors...

brembo stock replacment.

 

[jowilson275]

yeah i just saw those. the look similar to stock. my only guess is that they have a littly more surface area

Drilled and slotted rotors are made for race apps, the slots/holes actually shave the pad to prevent glazing under extreme conditions, so in normal everyday driving situations your just wearing out pads faster. Like said before, a set of Brembo blanks and a good set of pads will be plenty.

bump for brembos

 

[jowilson275]

I love my brembo blanks. They've lasted two years with Hawk Pads, you don't need fancy race stuff unless you're strapping a rocket to the back of your car.

That's the exact setup I have. Wasn't too expensive to pull together and the braking is amazing. Make sure you have a 40/40 proportioning valve and a larger master cylinder. For me, that made the pedal go from being soft with lots of travel to a brick wall that has awesome feel to it.

 

[jowilson275]

what master cylinder would i need? the one i have on there now is from a 91 civic ex

Thats a good upgrade but the 90-93 Integra NON ABS booser and and master is a excellent upgrade aswell as the 4040 prop valve off the same car. I have that on my rex and it was night and day, thats with OEM pads and rotors too.

 

[jowilson275]

ok thanks
