I'm kinda torn between aftermarket big brake upgrades and the 5 lug conversion. If I can find a good set of ITR brakes/wheels, I'd jump on it. I'm all about OEM stuff. OEM quality is best in my personal opinion.


The other thing people forget is upgrading the Master Cylinder and Booster. Bigger calipers/pistons need more fluid.


That is why I jumped onto the GSR brake conversion. The stopping power is good enough for a B series swap.

Although it'd be nice to have an ITR setup for future horsepower
The one thing I wish they did was a caliper upgrade. I'd like to be able to use a 4 piston caliper on my stock sized rotors. I know that's probably not physically possible (rotor surface probably isn't big enough to accomodate the 4 pistons) But I don't like the fact that in order for this upgrade to be possible, you need bigger rotors which in turn means bigger wheels. I don't want to have to get 17's just to accomodate the rotors. I'd like to be able to use 16's or even 15's and still have decent stopping power (as well as aesthetically pleasing to the eye on what's behind the wheels).
