What about brakes? I see nothing about upgraded brakes, or am I missing it?

You dont need a kit. Just some good pads, super blue brake fluid, braided steel lines, and new blank rotor. And mabe a rear disc conversion if you have rear drums.

I had a 4040 prop valve, 95 Civic ex mastercylinder on my 95 coupe with stock ex front brakes, and 94 integra rear disc conversion and I loved the way the brakes felt.

I haven't done my conversion on my hatch yet, but I have 95 civic ex master cylinder, 96 gsr front brakes, and a 4040 and it sucks. Damn drums.

How do you like your brakes, mushy or hard as a brick? I have some friends that would let you test their brakes if you want to(as a matter of fact. one is the dude who bought your rear discs)

i'm not gonna mess with getting integra front lower control arms, too much hassle
In the kit your getting, it comes wiht control arms, or you drill out your factory ones?

i like the way my brakes are right now actually, some new rotors/better brake fluid would be good though..

and i'm lost as to what you're saying abou the control arms. S/T offers a swaybar kit for those who don't have a front swaybar from the factory

Why are you puting money into this car is the first question????

I have to say I have not read the whole thread but from the first few posts I can tell you that you are looking at waisting a ton of cash.

Option 1 on your wish list is fine. I would go with the 16's and run the Falken RT615s in the 205/40/16 size.
Option 2 is a waist of money at like $200 bucks its going to make that much of a difference on the street or the track.
Option 3. VERY important part for the eg chassis!!!! get one
Option 4,& 5 dont bother with. if you want to just give money away I'm a great charity.
Option 5 get ther rear only!!!!

Derek is right get a roll bar if you are gong to track the car. Do not get harnesses unless you will be tracking the car (Autox is not taking the car to the track). The chassis will be stiffened and the car will be much safer with a bar than some JDM braces.

If you do plan on tracking you car do all of you needed maintance first.
1 if the master cylnder, calipers, rotors, lines and pads have not been replaced in the last 4-5 years get a new ones.
2 replace you suspension bushings!!! OEM or aftermarket.... Anyone who puts money into a cars suspension over 8-10 years old with out replacing your bushings just built a death trap.
3 make sure all bolts on the car are torqued to spec... dont ask!!!!
4 change ALL of your fluids!!!!
5 have fun and be safe


Now if this is just for show do what ever you want but if you are thinking strongly about doing more with the car do it right the first time. Nothing hurts worse than having to pay for something twice.

It's Just My Oppinion and my shitty spelling but I hope it helps
