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...

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.
