Default turbo civic better stopping!

[&:]whats a good brake upgrade for a ek shape civic. i have gone turbo and the brakes arent to clever. will nsx brakes bolt straight on if i can get a hold of them? or how about prelude are these any better than stock civic. or is a bigger disc covertion a good idea. i have got grooved and vented front brakes with performance pads and think there pretty rubbish.

If you get the knuckles off of an Si, you can upgrade to a bigger disc/caliper setup, that'd be pretty mint.

Take it one step further and ugrade the rears to discs. Won't create a huge difference, but you'll notice it, and it'll look cooler too

What's your budget man? I know a guy with some smokin' deals on serious brake systems if you're looking to spend some ching.. I think they run in the neighborhood of 1100 bones, but are worth every penny and with a civic, you'll probably never out power them
