Best Brake upgrade for the Buck?

Post by TheHondaTuner » Wed May 11, 2016 10:58 pm

Hey, I wonder what would be the best way to upgrade my BB1's Front Brakes!
I could get ATR ones fo 60 bucks and i guess mtec would make the 300mm 4x114 discs for a cheap price. What do i need to do to fit them? Or is a EP§ brake the better choice however? Or any other suggestions?!

For budget, I would just stick with OEM grooved/slotted disc with good pads (Ferodo DS2500).

After that I would step up to ATR callipers/carriers so that I could use 300mm Discs with OEM pads..

And after that I would get Performance ATR brakes/pads.

I think Liam on here, got Ep3 brake set up on his car but not sure if it was cheap. :think:
