Default brake upgrade options for a '89 CRX?

I was wondering what brake upgrade options are available for a CRX w/ 15 in wheels? If possible I would really like to get something that doesn't increase unsprung wieght, but is also resistant to brake fading (I plan to do raod racing). I know that maybe Brembo offers a very pricy 4-pot kit for the CRX, but it requires a 16 inch wheel or larger, but that won't work.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

for road racing you'll want a larger set of brakes...i have the 11" teg fronts on my rex specifically for track driving...(www.fastbrakes.com)...it works with most stock honda 15" wheels

there is also a wildwood 4 caliper upgrade to that to even reduce more unsprung weight and get better stopping power

there is also a mugen kit (http://www.inlinefour.com/mugacgatbrak.html)

Thanks, the Wilwood kit was pretty much what I was looking for, and it's very affordable considering you get the front and rear brakes for around $1,100!

Unfortunately, the Mugen kit does require a 16 in wheel...so that's probably not an option for me. Still, it's interesting to know whats out there.

Thanks again!
