find a crashed 92-01 Integra in your local junkyard...kits are too damn expensive and teggy's set-up is perfect...although when I did mine I got nice looking LCA to go with it and forgot to take the rear sway bar from the 'teg

integra. get the front set-up as it's bigger from there too if you can. You really don't need that big brake kit unless you're racing seriously...just get some quality pads and rotors and you're golden.

The big brake kits do look better. They have huge calipers that are painted red and have the name of the company written on them. I've never liked the look of having rims and then you see these itty bitty rotors, especially on the back. I won't get rims on my civic till i have at least a rear disc conversion b/c i don't like the look of drums + rims.

Same here, except im not going to paint them. Since i still have the steel rims, you can't even see the drums. I could use some new hub caps however, but i want the stock Honda ones. I gotta change the shoes today. I hate drum brakes, such a PITA to work with.
