how many pistons are u guys runnin on ur breaks ?? anyone got any input ?

 

hehe. one piston, floating caliper baby! dont go overboard on the pistons. go with a fixed caliper though. if you can lock the tires up, then youve got enough power in them, and its time to upgrade tires. like a 2-4 piston is plenty. on a light *** civic, you dont need that much braking force. though i do recommend SS lines and an integra booster and master cylinder.

 

hehe..i know..i just wanted to see if anyone had done anythin crazy...brake work is way down the road for me

 

Standard practice for me on any Civic is a rear disc swap, but that's nothing special. I did a full Brambo kit on my friend's 2G GSX and it stopped fast enough to cause damage to your internal organs. I might look into going sacicons style with a M/C upgrade though.

 

it made a HUGE difference in pedal feel. its almost telepathic now. like an inch and a half of travel, and it stops with authority. i love it. and with a rear disc conversion, a new proportioning valve is a good idea too.

 

Remember, I'm a couple gens behind you...

 

just one. but you should still be able to get it to work with older Teg stuff, right?

 

Damn, I could've sworn you were rollin' a 96. Oh well, I guess my memory's going... And yeah, 2G teg parts should be Genki for me.

 

95 light-but-has-no-options DX. oh well, it still has AC, and i can add everything else. and i hate sunroofs. im too tall, my head hits the liner. and the weight issue, right at the top of the car.
