abs is for women, a 94 hatch with gsr rear discs should stop on a dime!

never heard of using accord calipers...

what you could do it swap on the Si coupe front brakes, the rotors are around 1 inch taller than the hatch, then swap on the integra brake booster, that would be sick stopping power.

might wanna check if whoever put on the rear discs also installed the gsr's brake balance/bias controller... if its not there, the discs are not running their full potential.

alright thanks man and how do i know if the brake balance/bias controller is istalled and what does it do?

sorry, proportioning valve (couldnt think of what it was called last night), it determines how much pressure goes to the front or back.
not sure how to tell if its been swapped tho...

I'm not sure why people always wanna go bigger. Personally I replaced my entire braking system and it stops on a dime. This post refers to the accord brake swap you've heard of though:

gsr brakes all around is more than enough. i know someone who is running a 300+whp EK civic with that setup. if you want more power, you gotta step up to rotora endless, willwood, spoon, etc., but unless you're going for 1st at a car show or are doing a lot of tracking, its not worth it.

if your on a budget just get some EBC greendtuff pads, brembo vented rotors and stainless brake lines
