    a few questions for you guys!

    first of, i have been wanting to upgrade to 4 wheel disc brakes...

    i know that you can get sei brakes, and i saw that someone here had prelude brakes (according to sig)

    i am curious how much these projects cost, and where teh best place is to buy them.

    also do you peeps have any other suggestions? i am very willing to accept new ideas!!!

    for sei brake yr need to change the trailing arms an the spindles on the rear suspension. goto any junkyard and ask around the average price seems tobe about 175-200 then yr gonna need to overhual the brakes and change the hoses as well.

    sheeeeit. so this looks like it will be a several hundred dollar project... would i be better off buying a big brake kit and skipping the sei BS? i assume the sei brakes are better, but they are stock afterall/ should i just jump to a "real" brake upgrade?

    i think you should go with a cheaper method ( well unless you know the right people and you can get everything cheap )
    i'm going to stick with my breaks for now .. maybe in the future i 'm going to put on Prelude breaks .. but i'm not sure yet

    yeah i am thinking that might be what i have to do for now!

    right now i dont NEEEED more stopping power, but it wouldnt hurt, but i could redo the brakes much cheaper if i stuck with oem honda shit! thats prolly the smart route for now!
