Del Sol Brake Upgrade?

[macindude]

I've heard recently that you can get bigger rotors from the B16a del sol, and get put them on our cars. Is this true? What calipers are you supposed to use? Any info would be greatly appreciated

I know you can use the rear disk brake assembly off the b16 del sol.

Are you wondering about the fronts or rears?

Both front and rear should work btw

If the delsol and civc brakes are interchangeable then a big brake kit will work.

 

[macindude]

No, this is about the front brakes, I've heard that they have the 10.25 inch discs, whereas the civics have 9.5 inch discs. I was wondering what calipers you needed.

 

[P0gKai]

I ordered the AEM big brake kit, they said that works with stock caliper, just a bolt on.

 

[macindude]

Yeah, but I don't think they will fit under my 15" rims, and that's what I'm looking for, something that fits under the 15"

 

[P0gKai]

ah yea, won't fit 15, 16 at least.

So, what do I do for a brake upgrade?

Get the braking components off a 99-00 civic si at a junkyard.

 

[P0gKai]

yeah, do the rear drums to disc swap.

 

[macindude]

What parts do I need? Just the calipers and rotors? Or is there more? I really wish I could just get a whole wrecked SI, that would be awesome.

 

[P0gKai]

94+ integras should work also, search you'll find it.

 

[macindude]

No, i know about the rear disc swap, I'm talking about the front brakes... which parts do I need from the front brakes for the swap?

I don't mean to be rude but if you are using your car for regular street use and not racing, why don't you just clean up the stock rotors and get some new Honda OEM pads topped off with a new set of brake fluid. Seems like that could be enough?

since when is better brakes just a racing thing.. why the hell wouldnt you want better brakes all the time? honda's have never been very good cars when it comes to braking distances, so anything that can be done to lessen distance and fade is a safety measure, not just a performance upgrade.

you will need the front brake assembly from an integra, del sol or civic EX/Si

www.passwordjdm.com has the integra fronts for 200

you might wanna get the integra master cylinder too.
