I Need Brakes!

[RoadRage]

I have a 89 CRX Si, And I need Better Brakes. I have a LS swap with a 55 shot. But I want to upgrade the brakes. Now I know I can convert rear disk. But most of the stopping power is up front. So what would you recommend for front? Do slotted rotors help? Do the make a big brake kit CRX's? Any help is appreciated!

someone told me ebc green stuff or something like that was good!

 

[stpracer]

I've got ebc green stuff with brembo slotted, crossdrilled, and ss brake lines. No big brake kit or anything just stock sizes. It went from ok I think I'll stop sometime - to - ok I'll go again as soon as my eyeballs pop back in. Great pads little dust.

 

[cxjon]

how much was all that?

FastBrakes.com

they sell the ebc green stuff. (The pads page)
and the price of everything will vary on the car.

Look into the bigger brakes offered at FastBrakes. Even if you don't want to get the 4 pot calipers they offer 11" upgrades that use stock calipers for not a lot of money.

ebcs were $50.00 per axle
brembos were $90.00 per axle
ss lines were $105.00 all 4

Good deal I don't know but I bought it a little at a time so it didn't hurt as much.

Yes, Brian (FastBrakes owner) is very reliable, very nice, and very easy to deal with. If you hang around honda-tech.com at all ask them about him, he does a lot of business at that site. I am running his 4 pot 11" front brake kit and I love it.

And for the 4 pot front kit

_integra/civic Si 11 & 11.75" 4 piston brake kits

fastbrakes continues to provide affordable performance brakes with the new integra/civic 4 piston kit utilizing the wilwood superlite calipers.

These kits fit most 15" wheels.

_kit pricing

¬11" 4 piston complete kit : $699.95

¬11.75" 4 piston complete kit : $924.95

These kits are designed to fit under most 15" wheels. However, due to manufacturing tolerances and wheels design, not all wheels may fit over the brakes without using a wheel spacer. Check wheel fitment prior to final assembly to ensure proper clearance with all components.

What I have noticed is people who say nitrous is bad, nitrous sucks, blah blah blah. But they don't have technical information to back it up...."its just cheap".....well hmm. If I spend less money than you, and am way faster, who's the smart one?
