Default Brake swaps for honda

I'm sure this question has been asked before but what year and model of acura have the bigger brakes that can be swapped onto the 95 honda del sol?

all honda brakes are swappable with brakes from the Ford Pinto

That thing has some serious power, so the brakes are pretty nice.

Question better suited for Honda/Acura tech, not general car chat..

I second the pinto swap though. Possibly a geo metro.

If you swap ANY parts over from a car with a Gallo 12 or Gallo 24, the reward will be amazing. I recommend Gallo 24 (G24) swaps, personally. Even down to the brakes, bushings and steering column.

I'm not sure which level del sol that you have.

I run Integra RS front calipers and rear calipers on the EJ civic. If you moving from rear drum to rear disk brakes make sure to change your proportioning valve. You will need a non-abs 40/40 valve from an integra.

I'm moving this to Honda/Acura tech

DA (90-93 acura integra) rear disk brakes will be a good choice also I'm not sure what master cylinder your running but it might be a good idea to go to a 1' bore.
