Power is nothing without control! Drive Honda, get both!

There's a guy in New Zealand running the front setup off an older Prelude. What are you hoping to accomplish with this upgrade: Shorter stopping distances, reduced fade, lower pedal force?

isn't there an AEM brake kit for our cars ? sorry i am not sure !

I've learned, maybe I'm wrong, but if you tune the car, you need better brakes to, normaly to get shorter brake length and better cooling by havin drilled holes in the disc, correct me if I'm wrong...

the purpose for dimpled or drilled rotors is actually for better pad contact with the rotor. under hard braking hot gasses build up between the pad and rotor and by drilling or dimpling your rotors the gasses go through the holes or into the dimples and your pad contacts the rotor rather than the gasses.

I just picked up the AEM Big Brake kit from the 89-98 Integra, 92-98 civics and it has 12 inch rotors. I should be working on it soon cause you will need a spacer from what Juan (oldschoolswap) said as he has had this set up for awhile. I just got mine off Ebay for $368 but i can find them for $420 and i just looked up shipping to your county and 4-6wk is $42.25 and 4-10 day is 95.25 for you. But im sure they make Big brake kits for civics and integras over their so i would maybe look into them first.
The dimpled or drilled surface also helps to stir up the air around the spinning rotor to enhance convection which helps to reduce brake fade.Originally posted by Grant2k

If you can lock up your wheels now, all bigger brakes will get you is less fade unless you also switch to some tires with better grip.
