Thank you man!! I appreciate everyone that pops in to see whats up!oooo that looks good!
i had to lol. Anyway, what do you have in mind?^no worries man, your absolutely right. I was trying to believe in a cheaper option for brakes.
I think I want to do Integra front and rear disks, for the front just swapping the whole knuckle over and replaceing the disks with new blanks and the pads with hawk HPS pads.
The rears are the tricky part because I read that I can remove the hub and instal it into my rear trailing arm and wouldn't have to swap the whole arm over (since I just went through hell installing new RTA bushings and compensator arms) I would love to do that, then get em1 e-brake cables and new rotors and pads for the rear and call it a day.
Basically what intertwined did but he swapped his old em1's brakes over.

Thank you very much!
That would be good. You can also keep an eye out for ex front knuckles and brakes since they are almost completely identical to the integra brakes. It would be easier swapping the whole trailing arm for the rears. Since you already addressed that area it won't be bad at all, although it does suck to have done all that work just to pull it right back off.
^thanks man, yeah If I can't just remove the spindles I'll keep the drums and just get a set of ex front or integra fronts. Your right they are exactly the same size rotor, pad, even the piston size. Though the caliper itself may not be 100% visually identical.I'll just get good rotors and pads and be done with it. Ohand wheel bearings since I'm there.
If I can just swap in new spindles in the rear, I'll go buy a whole new hub for each side since the wheel bearing in the rear is sealed inside he hub.
I may just buy a whole new rear set up if I can get the parts cheap enough.
I'll get a new 7/8 ex master cylinder and integra stainless lines.

whats up roma....getting closer...lmao
My little order arrived today! Nothing special but I'm really glad I got it, I ordered a Karcepts anodized aluminum shift knob, and an eBay shifter extension, super different shift feel, but I like it, its so much more comfortable than reaching for the floor, and I feel like I shift faster not having to reach so far, since I always drive at 9 and 3 on the wheel. Over all I dig the crap out of it!
knob looks good, but it's gonna get hella hot in the summer sun.
looks good im thinking of getting a oem gsr bananna one
Oh yeah for sure, looks like I'll have to bust out the ol' windshield visor when I park for work lol.
What does that look like?
hey, I've got that one. Nope, never mind. that one's leather. Mine's the base model knob, I guess. Molded plastic
