Found this site on a build thread in H-T and checked it out. They guy that posted it over on H-T said he's using 11" rotors off of a 90 VW corrabo with stock calipers. I've been wondering what to do with my crummy stock brakes. Think I found the answer. Anyone have any input on this??

damn no one has any input???

 

Do it.

 

I like OEM myself. 90-91 Ex knuckles and rotors, DA calipers, 15/16 master cly., booster and 4040 prop. valve.

 

welcome to 3 years ago.

 

Yeah thanks for being cool about it! I'm not even gonna get into where I was three years ago!

 

Yeah I've been thinkin about that. They had a write up in honda tunning about swapping over the whole ex/si front brake assembly. I take the 15/16 MC, booster and 40/40 come off of the da?? How does this setup perform compared to stock? Obviously I know better but how much??

 

its a nice setup though.

 

My boi up graded to Brembo, he could stop on a die, but then again he ran low 13's on 9 lbs of boost so he had to lol jus my 2 cents


90 EF B16 Turbo

 

it works but you'll need more than jsut that to compete a "true" racin brake setup.

this setup has been well known and done plenty of times before. i've actually did one of these for a customer of mine, but he's missing more of the ingredinents (sp) that i suggest...

-highly suggest stainless brake lines
-cross drilled rotors brembo(slotted I don't suggest for street)
-performance brake pads, Hawks, Project "MOO" (lol)~stay away from EBC, junk
-brake fluid (DOT 4), suggest Motul
and last but not least, racing pedals (pink ones), cause with this setup, doing laps around Sebring 100+mph, u need the look kewl.....
