Um...I'm nearing the end of my transplant, and I'm looking to be able to drive daily next week. The thing is...I may have a nice GT-X setup with 100 more HP then my NA had, but...I still have SE brakes! I know I can do SS lines and cross drilled rotors w/ some HAWK pads or something...but thats not good enough. Anybody know of larger brakes fit? I still have 4-lug wheels and discs and such...but will aftermarket Honda(I know I know, I didn't wanna say it) brake kits be able to be custom fitted to my 7? I would like 13" brakes or bigger...any suggestions are appreciated...

convert to 5 lug its not THAT bad. lots of donor cars everywhere and get 4piston calipers.

I agree with you. The 5 lug hubs and brakes can be had for a few hundred $$$. A big brake kit will be ALOT more than that.

Then... find a TII or GTU and take the 4-piston brakes off..

I don't really want to convert to 5lug yet..thats my last resort..I just spent mega $$$ getting new wheels & tires 3 months ago...and I'm not looking to get new ones yet. When I put the LSD and 4.3rear end in...THEN I might swap out....

Biggger brakes are going to cost alot more than a 5 lug conversion.

Thats true...but I don't want to have to buy 5lug wheels...like I said...it cost a lot for the ones I just got, lol...I am changing my wheels, I just don't want to do that yet...hmm..or else...jk. The next set of wheels is AFTER the body kit which will be sometime in July or August..I'm getting the Advan's.. can you say $$$$$$

Just get some good pads and rotors for now. You should be ok.
