Make sure its ADR approved [Earl's aren't as are a few other brands off my head] if its driven on the street, otherwise insurance company will void the policy...
I got my one made up with ADR approved hoses and fittings [Goodridge] =)
Ensure that the brake lines are held properly if custom made, not too much slack with correct clips/fittings so it attaches to the shock and car body nicely and have the plastic sleeves fitted over them too, cheap protection

If you order some DBA Gold Slotted & Dimpled 262mm rotors & second hand calipers (both to suit DC2/DC4) with some Project Mu B-Spec pads (rated at 0-500 degrees), along with some good DOT4 brake fluid, you will find that this is one of the best front brake packages going for street use. I have tried other pads ie Ferodo, Bendix etc and personally, you just can't beat Project Mu.
When it comes to installing it all, it will be a direct bolt on to your EG hubs. NO CHANGING IS REQUIRED and your standard brake lines will work
standard brake line will work, though i found out that stock EG front lines are about ~3mm too short for DC2 calipers. i just stretched the line being very careful to look for any cracks or leaks that appeared.
have been running fine for the last 3-4years.
also for him to run 262mm rotors, he must change his hubs to EG6/EK4/DC2
My apologies, you will need to upgrade to DC2 brake hoses, but in regards to the hubs, I have never needed to replace them and I have done this many times in the past
Im running my b16 on a stock brakes (of eg4 with a D15) and its not like i dont have enough brake force to stop. just use the gears and also have a cusco brake stopper.
even before then it sufficed. and on a cruise day i got some brake fade but thats because when ur following ppl quite close like in a cruise your braking a lot.
Can i make a suggestion to all these lovely suggestions
What about braided brake lines?
they are good if your old ones aren't in best of condition. then go straight to braided instead of more rubber.
if you still have good firm but not cracking rubber ones then keep them.
Forget about aftermarket kits, they're all upgrade, inch up or BBKs, all of them unnecessary for you unless you like to blow $$$ on big shiney stoppers for wank factor OR you're going to go racing...
And you're yet to state the specs of your car and its application so you'll get everyones 5c on what you should do...

i disagree with that.....
it makes such a difference when i install my Goodridge braided brake lines over my rubber lines in good condition.
you should do it man, since u were saying your brake is a bit spongy

so let's say, if i'll gonna change my stock rotors, what's the ideal upgrade?
