break upgrade?

I have a question regarding a brake upgrade on my 92 civic hatch si. I recently droped a b18c jdm and then installed a turbo kit on the car. Now the problem is the car goes fast but doesnt stop fast enough lol!. the car has 4 wheel disc I put slotted and vented discs on still not good enough Can I put gsr calipers front and rear calipers on, do I need the saddles as well do I need gsr discs or can i use my civic ones? how about the brake booster onr master can I also swap theese over to give me more stopping power .


Thank u for reading this long post hopefully someone can enlighten me with there knowledge

My first question to you is, what brake pads are you using?

Chances are you probably just need to step up to a more aggressive pad to get the job done.

Besides that, you may want some steel brake lines, which will concentrate more pressure to the calipers, and give you a better feel for the brakes.

Willwood sells a kit that looks promising, I even found somewhere to buy it for 850 canadian shipped, thats with the drilled/slotted rotors and stainless steel lines.....its what i am going to go with....brand new 4 piston calipars, for a few hundred extra than doing the gsr swap and upgrading the rotors/pads

omni power now has a big break kit too, looks pretty promising and cheaper than the willwood. personally i would just run gsr fronts and backs because that is more than enough to stop your little car. espcially if you ran those with aggresive pads.

you buy the integran knuckles with the calipers and rotors on them and the back you get with the trailing arm. you shouild change the master cylinder and brake booster while your at it toi the integra ones and like the others said, SS brake lines are a ++++++
