    Ek1 brake questions

    As some may know, i have an ek1 99 GLi sedan, and i also have a dc2 (94) vti-r integra wreck. I wanted to change the brakes over from the integra onto my civic, but after some reading, some sources are saying that my civic has 262mm fronts, same as the integra, and the rears are much the same, and that it's not worth the upgrade, even with the MC and booster, that its also probably not a 1" MC.

    I was also reading through this thread;

    Namely;

    2. DOT 5 brake fluid changed/bleed regularly

    [B]3. Bendix ultimate pads

    4. DBA street slotted rotors: http://www.dba.com.au/vehicles/honda/civic/ek-3-door

    5. S/S mesh brake lines (debatable)

    Also, upgraded suspension and reduced weight also helps braking performance
    Would this be better than just going integra brakes?

    Can someone help me out on this? Because otherwise I'll just buy some new rotors and pads for my ek instead of changing to the integra pieces. Also to add to that, I will be swapping the D series out to a B18C2 in the coming months.

    If you've got 262mm hubs/brakes, you could swap out the rotors for the larger 282mm ones and pair them with ITR calipers/prelude/crv etc

    oh jeez, that's even easier. instead of buying new rotors at the current size i'll just do this.
