I'm thinking that I should go to a larger breaking system. Can anybody give me info or web sites on how I can go about it . I am also thinking I should ditch the spring & shocks & maybe go with a coil over if I want to get this thing ...really pro..

Thanks for reading

do the gsl-se/fc base model

or tII brake swap is common,

cpracing.ca might help you out.

I have all the stuff to do a TII brake set up if you are interested, as a matter of fact i have a whole 1st gen subframe from brakes to bushings(urathane) to Tokico Illumnas and ball joints. 6000 miles maybe, put a second gen subframe in my car and dont need any of this anymore. send me a Pm if interested

Do not waste your time with anyone else, just go straight to ReSpeed. They prototyped my brake setup and are devoted to allowing FB owners any setup they want.



Billy is the man.

Couldn't agree more...



Heres a teaser of my brake setup. ReSpeed Big brake kit, TII powerslot rotors, reman TII 4 pot calipers, SS DOT approved brake lines, TII inner wheel bearings.

In order to keep your 110mm pattern you would need to have hubs made and re-drill the rotors. This would cost a bit and usually more than most paid for the car :(



Since the first gen had integrated hubs and rotors it kind of forces updating.

back in the day they used to mill the rotor off the hub and then bolt a larger rotor to the stock hub.



plan B would be to redrill the t2 stuff for 4x110

What SS brake lines did you use?



I attempted to get the FC kit to work but I was missing the hardline to the caliper...I'm interested in how you did it.
