Ok, besides the bitching between everyone, I like the first few replys about the Integra Calipers, but dont completely understand what I would need to do the upgrade.

I do drive fast up and down hills, and I am on my brakes alot of the time, my last set of wheels (painted white) started to blister from the heat from my brakes, and I have had a few warped rotors. I dont drive like that as much as I useto, but I love the look of sloted/crossdrilled rotors in the middle of a nice new 16" TSW blade. The wheels are black so it really shows off my brakes.

I have cleaned my calipers, and painted my front 2 red (to break up all of the black) and the 2 rear calipers black. they were not rusty at all, just really dirty, I cleaned them up with some simple green and a wire brush.

As far as pads go, whats the best pad that will give me a long life, low noise, and good stoping power?

And I am not completely sure you understood my first post, what I really want is the same size calipers and rotors on my rear, as the ones I have on my front, is that possible?

And what junkyard car can I rape for parts?


P.S. I have Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's on 16" wheels
