Which better for EG8?

[JDM_GUY]

Upgrading the brakes of my EG8.

There are the cross drilled and slotted rotors (BRAND : SP PERFORMANCE )that are the same size just to bolt on for $1000.00TT


Then there is the SIR EG9 which would be a little more adjusting and work $1700.00TT Installed and relined.



12" Rotor Move-Out Kit from power slot OEM rotor diameter is 10.3", so this kit requires a minimum wheel size of 17" or larger. $3000.00 TT

options

1. prelude .. redrill rotors and mount calipers..

2. if u wanna spend 3000 add a little more and go with wilwood 12"

3. d2 brakes not sure bout price though .. think is peak performance
my 2cts

nothing else matters

[JDM_GUY]

red_dragon,Then i guess i will go with the EG9.

EG9 brakes (F+R) are a great upgrade for an eg8.
Couple it with SS brake lines, good bite pads (hawk/ebc/mintex) and some dot 4 or 5.1 fluid and yuh orn like socks.

VexXx Dogg,Heard when you putting the rear you have to also change the booster and cylinder

You may not need to change the booster (the EG9's is slightly smaller tho), but definitely try to get a proportioning valve from the Eg9, or an adjustible one such as the wilwood.

whats about the brake pads? OEM or some other brand?

[VexXx Dogg]

OEM is reportedly the best, but i never used it.

Wagner thermoquiet was best value for money for me.
EBC/Hawk/P. Mu also supposed to be excellent albeit at a higher price.

[JDM_GUY]

where to get the wagner thermoquiet

[red_dragon]

but before you do all this ... u leaving engine as is or have plans to change

[No Fear at all!!!]

but before you do all this ... u leaving engine as is or have plans to change

My thoughts exactly!!! JDM...What are you planning to do engine-wise???

[joel]

but before you do all this ... u leaving engine as is or have plans to change

my first thought...cause if you stayin as you are dog, you have more than adequate stopping power

[bluesteel29]

ah wah some SiR calipers

[JDM_GUY]

At present the car doesn't stop on top of 3rd and 4th gears. Found my self many times pressing all the way down and still the car wouldn't slow down, I think they get hot and fade away very fast (I use DOT 4). Before the mods the car would take forever to reach the 160-180, with the current mods i reach speeds of 190 on 4th quicker than before.
As for the engine I am looking to get a TYPE-R b18 but still looking around. So I just wanted to upgrade the brakes from now, all other parts of the car are upgraded for the increasing in power.

I will do the EG9 front brake and trow in some good pads. VexXx Dogg,where do i get the wagner thermoquiet pads

[High_Speed_Imports]

JDM_GUY,have something good for you. Friend jus upgraded to willword. Shout me you can organize. I am on road in a few but ppl home so link me

[VexXx Dogg]

Almost any motorist outlet should carry it - or should be able to source it.
carry your the old pad or the outline though...just to make sure.

[halfdef]

JDM_GUY, i have a set of the power slot rotors and i have felt a huge difference

[roshan01]

same here the power stop with some hawk pads stops really well....

[mugen power]

I told you already
DC2R breaks front and back complete
3.5K

[moe]

6 pot calipers

[JDM_GUY]

halfdef,thats the stock replacement for the SIR spindle or did you get the bigger brake kit with the adapter plate?

roshan01,Same question. read that if i use the power slot upgrade kit I could only run 16" wheels.

moe,what size rims are the smallest you can run with that kit? Iam currently on 15"

[moe]

these are buddy club 15"
the offset was not enough to clear
the calipers so I used a 5mm spacer
and longer wheel studs
did not want to change the rims

[moe]

[red_dragon]

^ Moe what is the diameter of the rotor ?

[moe]

286x26mm

[JDM_GUY]

moe,Where did you get that brake kit to buy? And whats the cost?
