Rotor/ Caliper Suggestions
Recently I managed to completely bust my caliper and rotor on the front left side of my '95 Honda Civic CX HB (it's a long story). Anyways, since I just paid $100 for a single piece of a taillight which I needed to replace, I know how expensive factory stuff can cost to replace. I was wondering if anyone may have any ideas on how I can take advantage of this situation and maybe upgrade my brakes somehow. I've been interested in a GSR or Type R brake conversion since my CX brakes seem like they could use some more stopping power (they're partially responsible for getting me into this situation). Thanks for any suggestions.

Still here... sorta...
What size wheels do you have?
I think the wilwood brakes are super fly but they're mucho $$$.
I upgraded to some cross-drilled/slotted Brembo rotors (stock calipers) and I'm quite happy with them. I run nissin pads, btw.
I've seen Type-R upgrades and stuff on Ebay, but I'll bet you that Brian Wong (bwsf@hotmail.com) has them/can get them.

Redrilling rotors to fit and something else.

Since I'm always thinking about autocross remember doing an upgrade to different calipers will bump you out of stock and other classes
I run Brembo rotors (non-drilled and non-slotted) with AEM pads and it stops better than my PowerStop Rotors (cross drilled) with AEM pads.
