brake upgrade

[Surrufus]

i hate drums :mad:
anyone else hate drums?
i'm going to replace my drum brakes... so i may as well do them all
what other model disc brakes fit a 98 honda civic cxi???
or can anyone recommend an aftermarket replacement?

For a rear disc conversion im pretty sure ull need ..

- Compatable rotors and discs (from EK4, i think EG4/5 will fit EK too?)
- New Lower Control Arms
- New master cylinder
- New rear handbrake cable

Im not sure if they make aftermarket rear drum > disc conversion kits or anything...

u could get integra type R brakes, but the problem with that is u geta 5 stud conversion in the process and have to get new rims...

dont bother getting Ek4 brakes, they suck

For rears i doubt it matters much at all.
Upgrade your fronts to some good ones, say from an EK SIR if u can find...

Front breaks make up over 75% of breaking (from what ive been told from brake speciliasts) so rears just assist in the breaking, the fronts do most of the job ;)

I also heard that drumies arnt that bad, they just fade quicker than discs... ?
