hey man its been awhile how are you? I am looking at a big brake kit too and last time for the crx i did a 12.2 wilwood kit and a custom 11in in the rear on it and it will make ferrari look like dirt in a stopping competition. The guy there is really cool. he is hooking me up with a good deal at fastbrakes.com..

tell him you want the same kit he offered me. he may not give you the price but its still alot cheaper then brembos' i think it will be like 1100-1500. and you dont need the 13in kit either. He said he can put a kit together for me using the SUPERLITE wilwood calipers which are bigger like the spoon ones you see around here on integra's and EG's. but he uses the 12.2 wilwood rotors and he said that should make a great statement. So im just saving money as of now. Let me find his email. It is Just email him and tell him you talked to Dwight with the Comptech Si and u were curious about the superlite kit that he can do and ask for a price.

here is what he wrote. (minus the price)

You really don't need to go much bigger than the 12.2" kit with the 4 pot

Ok so im confused. Are u saying i can buy the 2 front superlite calipers, 2
sets of pads and be done with it or are u saying the 12.2 kit but use a
superlite caliper instead of the dynalite? I guess i really dont need to
mess with the rear brakes since they dont do alot of the stiopping anyway
correct? Also are these availible in red calipers? im trying to decide what
would look good. red would be sick since it stands out with my black car but

then again black goes along witht he stealth look. ohwell doesnt matter. so
what are we looking at here?

Fastbrakes
The Superlites are a bigger caliper, they don't weigh much more than the
Dynalite but look a lot better and will provide better wear due to the
larger pads. They do come in red, add $80. The rears actually do some work
so a larger rear might help balance out the larger fronts. Your rear are the
same as the RSX so I think I have a kit that will work I just need to test
fit it to make sure...
