Brakes

[sherpagoodness]

before i do any sort of major engine modification to my car i really want to go ahead and invest for some brakes. my 93 ex has no abs and rear drums....so i know im going to have to eventually disc swap the rear from an integra or other civic. My big question is i have 15" wheels, id like big brakes but all the kits i have seen are for 16 or 17" wheels, is it worth spending all the money plus wheels for big brakes or does somebody make some good slotted rotors i could replace the stockers with? Who makes really good slotted rotors for a civic and what is good brake pad to go with? Ive heard good about the green stuff pads. Also is it worth it to get stainless lines and do the rear disc swaps require a bigger booster or just a dif proportioning valve?
all suggestions and comments are apreciated, thnx

Most big brake kits require atleast 16" wheels. I have a HP Racing front brake upgrade, and a rear disc swap. I would do a rear disc swap out of the 2. It improves braking, and gives you more braking balance if done correctly (meaning swapping the prop valve. I would also suggest swapping the brake booster and MC for the best pedal feel. Stainless steel lines will improve pedal feel even further.

Brake pads... Ive got Axxiss Metal MAsters semi metallic pads and they work great. Alot less brake dust than OEM.

instead of doing one of those big brake upgrades, i suggest going gsr disc at all corners(and yes, you will need the prop valve, m/c, booster, and dont forget the ebrake cables), then get yourself some good blanks and a nice set of pads. its most likely all you need.

ima go to pick a part and 'brake f**k' an integra or probably multiple integras because finding all four control arms intact im sure wont be easy...but that does sound the most reasonable...how much bigger are gsr brakes?
