Vtir Brake Upgrade options?

**TECDUP** · 18-10-2007 05:25 PM

Ok, before anyone says "try search" i have and haven't found it to be much help in listing options, all that is mentioned is DBA slotted disc+decent pads, is this my only option?
I am looking at upgrading my brake setup but without changing my stud pattern. As most will know my stud pattern is 4x100 and would like to keep it as i am not keen on chasing new rims.
I want to change Disc's, Calipers, Pads and Booster (if necessary) but if anybody has any suggestions as to what else should be changed please let me know.

My budget is between $1k-$2k so please if you have any suggestions fire away, i need to do this within the next week as i either upgrade everything or just overhaul the calipers because my rear calipers have just seized.

what will your car be used for?

some braided lines might help too, i heard they improve brake feel

not overly expensive either

get dc2r calipers or even the early crv calipers, and then get 282mm dc2r spec discs, redrilled to 4x100
you can get blank rotors, and then get em drilled for your application.
that should work quite well.

This sounds good, this is obviously for the fronts but what could be done for the rears???

Thanks for the input, it is all helping

Could the same be done on the rears???

Are there any other options or is that all i can do?

Anyone???

don't bother much with the rears, just upgrade the pads on the rears and you'll be right.

The reason i ask is because my rear calipers have siezed and now need to be overhauled, i am looking at $120 each to overhaul them so if i can upgrade for a similar cost then why not?
