Moose,
I appreciate the reply. I can understand your theory about filling in those rims with bigger brakes, because small brakes with large rims look weird. But it cant be always the case. Correct me if Im wrong, but the DC2 Type R debuted as a 96 model with 15 inch wheels. In 98 Honda change the wheels to 16 inches and with it increase the size of the brakes as well. I doubt Honda make this brake change for looks only. Also, the rest pretty much stayed the same, with minor touches done to some suspension components and the final drive ratio, but nothing that would add enough weight that they would need bigger brakes. This is just my thought.
I myself am planning to start tracking my Si this summer. I was considering a BBK myself, both for more consistent braking(since brake fading seems to be a weak point of the Si) and looks, but after reading this thread Im too worried to screw up the brake bias of the car. I guess I will go a different and less expensive route. We shall see. Thanks again.
