You might want to watch your mouth. There are a few Turbo G1 coupes, and of course LegeNd-SX out there.

ok so theres what, 5? and ONE legend/nsx ?

I'd love to see some vids of fast g1's ! But it doesn't seem to happen, at least very often :/



Unless your autocrossing with the car, and even then, there shouldn't be a need for uber expensive braking parts.

You could take that money and put it towards a nitrous kit

Nitrous kit would be stupid on a stock car. There is a lot more to take into account than just slapping a bottle of NAWS in the trunk, and running a couple of lines.

And our cars have very undersized brakes for how big the car is. They are the same size as Civic brakes.

I've been on a couple runs in my car, and I can attest for these slotted rotors. They keep the temps down on the brakes, and cause less fade. The fading is horrible with standard brakes. After just two 60-0 braking tests in my car, the brakes fade so bad, it takes about an extra 30 feet to stop, and the pedal just drops to the floor.

Brakes are one of the easiest things you can do to improve the driveability and performance of your vehicle.

My brakes suck so much. My rotors have some raised edges in them and they make crunching sounds every time the rotor makes a rotation. The pads are paper thin and the fluid is brown. And they squeal...
And my left two calipers are riding constantly. My brakes fade really fast too.

Well some civics have drums in the back. (because civics suck) We have bigger brakes than civics. The integras and civics might be the same.

The Integra's ad Civic's are the same, that's why people use the back suspension from Integra's to put rear discs on their Civics.

And I have some brakes from my '93 Integra, and the discs and calipers are exactly the same size. With the exception that the Integra's are 4x100 and Legends are 4x114.3

I should fix that though. The Integra's are the same size as 86-88 sedan brakes. 89-90 and coupes have slightly larger front rotors.
