60-0 Braking
Does anyone know if the brakes system on the 3rd gen. integra's are the same and what is the 60- 0 distance. GSR vs LS, Coupe vs Sedan? I know the type R is different and 60-0 is roughly 117 ft. Edmunds.com list 60-0 from 128ft - 142ft. They have different stopping distance for the GSR sedan (140ft) vs GSR coupe (128ft). The weight difference I believe is about 100lb. Does a hundred pound weight reduction equal 12feet?

ALL: Dual-diagonal, power-assisted, 4-wheel disc brakes.
LS, GS-R: Acura-designed Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with 4 wheel-speed sensors and electronic/hydraulic control unit. Ventilated, 10.3 in (262 mm) diameter. Solid, 9.4 in (239 mm) diameter.
Type-R: Lightweight Acura-designed Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with 4 wheel-speed sensors and electronic/hydraulic control unit. Ventilated, 11.1 in (282 mm) diameter, 0.98 in (25 mm) rotor thickness.Solid 10.2 in (260 mm) diameter, 0.39 in (10 mm) rotor thickness.

"Like all Integra models, the Type R features 4-wheel disc brakes with ventilated rotors at the front and solid rotors at the rear. For maximum rigidity of the braking system and to provide a short pedal stroke, the front brake calipers are large, stout units that have a higher resistance to flexing and "spread" under severe braking conditions.
The Type R, with its larger brake discs (front: 262 mm >>> 282 mm; rear: 239 mm >>> 260 mm) and larger calipers, also uses a refined ABS system, which is 12.3 lbs lighter than the GS-R. This lightweight system functions with minimal pedal kickback during ABS operation in hard braking situations."

One stop braking performance is almost all tire. The integra always seemed to trail the competition a little in braking. I think this is due to the tires Acura chose for the car.
