Civic brake upgrade

I've got a cxi, with Integra brakes all round. To tell you the truth, not unless you really push your car hard there's not much of a difference.

So for regular street driving do you think it is a worthwhile upgrade?

I have sent you a PM.

for regular street driving, there shouldn't be a need for any brake upgrades. your car is designed with enough stopping power out of factory for that.

So just to confirm what I would require (besides fluid) for the four wheel ITR swap from my cxi:


Front
- ITR caliper x 2
- ITR disc rotor x 2
- ITR OEM brake pads x 2
- ITR brake lines x 2 (maybe stainless?)

Rear
- ITR trailing arm x 2 (or can I use any trailing arm?)
- Emergency brake cables x 2
- Proportioning valve
- Master cylinder
- ITR caliper x 2
- ITR disc rotor x 2
- ITR OEM brake pads x 2
- ITR brake lines x 2 (maybe stainless?)

Is that all? Also, I assume that for the front the calipers/rotors are a direct bolt on?

i will take extra care if i see you on the road....

after market brake pad + drilled/sloted rotor will be more then enough for daily driving or occasionally aggressive driving actions.....i'd think this is a cost effeicive way to mod your car compare with the full brake system upgrade.

Thanks Terry .

At the moment I just want to see what a rough price guide would be on an ITR from my local wrecker. Havent made any decisions yet as to what I am going to do.
